Located on an island delta near the junction of the Barito and Martapura rivers, Banjarmasin is the capital of South Kalimantan, and the largest city in the province. Hemmed in by a labyrinth of rivers and canals, the city has been dubbed "the river city". With water enveloping much of the people\'s lives, most of the people\'s daily routines happen near water, from the floating market or "pasar ngapung" to the deep water port of Trisakti Harbor, the main trade basin of the Barito Region. Passenger ships and ferries to and from Java also carry their operation to this port.
