Siring Menara Pandang
Menara Pandang Siring
A Banjar-style lookout tower and riverside promenade on the Martapura River, with views over the waterway, and the boat pier is right here.
The lookout tower is about four storeys tall, and its roof is modelled on the traditional Banjar high-ridged house. The top observation deck overlooks the Martapura River and the city centre. In the evening the riverside promenade (Siring) fills with people taking walks and eating snacks. On Sunday mornings, a 'Siring floating market' set up for visitors sees small boats selling cakes and produce, which is more convenient than going to Lok Baintan. From the pier you can take a klotok boat for a short river trip, or charter a boat to Lok Baintan. The tower is sometimes closed for maintenance.
Opening hours
Open all day (lookout tower approx. 08:00–22:00)
