The floating market, one of South Kalimantan’s key tourist attractions, can now be seen at the Floating Market Dock in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), East Jakarta. The inauguration of this dock on Saturday (11/4/2026) aims to strengthen the Banjar cultural identity at the national level. “This is not merely a tourist destination, but a representation of the Banjar people’s true identity that we must continue to preserve and develop,” he added. In addition, there is the Lok Baintan Floating Market in Banjar Regency. Meanwhile, the Governor of South Kalimantan, Muhidin, stated that the presence of this dock represents progress in South Kalimantan’s tourism sector, which is increasingly strong as a centre for river cultural heritage. At TMII, tourists can not only view the floating market but also explore many local business products on display. Tourists can find sasirangan fabric crafts and various regional culinary items. For information, the latest TMII entry ticket prices start at Rp25,000 per person from Monday to Friday, and Rp35,000 on weekends. These prices do not include vehicle tickets, which start at Rp35,000 for cars, Rp20,000 for motorcycles, and Rp10,000 for bicycles.
