Jakabaring Sport City
One of the main venues for the 2018 Asian Games, with a large stadium, a water sports center and lakeside green space. Good for an evening walk.
Jakabaring Sport City lies on the south bank. It hosted the 2011 Southeast Asian Games and the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games. The complex includes the 40,000-seat Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium, a water sports center, an archery range and a man-made lake. Some facilities, such as the skate park and lake sports, charge a fee. Lakeside sunsets and the exterior of the stadium are popular photo spots in the evening. Take the light rail to Jakabaring station. It pairs well with a visit to the Cheng Ho Mosque.
