Tenggulang

Tenggulang lies in the lowlands north of the Musi River in southern Sumatra. The surrounding country is crossed by streams and patches of wet ground, with the Lalan basin farther north and the Banyuasin waterways towards the east. The wider coastal plain has a long record of human occupation: old settlement sites along the Lalan preserve traces of raised buildings, pottery and boats. Waterways remain the defining feature of the landscape between the inland forests and the coast.
