South Sorong, Administrative regency in Southwest Papua, Indonesia

Located at an elevation of 77 meters above sea level, South Sorong extends across 3,946 square kilometers of tropical landscapes in Southwest Papua.

The establishment of South Sorong as an independent regency on December 11, 2002, marked a significant transformation from its previous status within Sorong Regency.

The indigenous communities of South Sorong maintain traditional practices through ceremonies, storytelling, and customary laws passed down through generations.

Teminabuan, the capital of South Sorong, functions as the primary administrative center providing governmental services and transportation connections for the entire regency.

The regency encompasses twenty distinct districts, including Kokoda, Seremuk, and Kais, each contributing to the region's natural resource management and biodiversity preservation.
