Xianyang City

The best time to visit is from May to September, during the drier season when river trips and city sightseeing are easier to plan.

Palembang has an international airport, rail links, intercity buses, and road connections within Sumatra. Most visitors arrive by flight from Jakarta or other Indonesian cities.

Use ride-hailing apps, taxis, public transport, or private drivers. Boat trips are used for Musi River sightseeing and visits to river islands.

Stay near the city centre or Ampera Bridge for river views, restaurants, and easy sightseeing. Business travellers may prefer hotels near major roads or malls.
