Bundaran Besar
The origin point of the new city planned under Soekarno. A large roundabout plaza and buildings in Dayak longhouse style have become the city's calling card.
Bundaran Besar is the hub of the radial road network laid out for Palangka Raya under Soekarno-era city planning. Eight avenues radiate from it. Surrounding it are government buildings, including the governor's residence, Istana Isen Mulang. The central park of the roundabout was renovated in recent years and features a landmark building in the style of a traditional Dayak longhouse, as well as underground passages. At night the lights are dazzling, and it is a place for locals to take photos, stroll, and hold weekend events. It is in the city center and can be explored on foot.
