Still from the rest of the way from the floating market, in addition to trying soto floating banjo sold well. We can also visit a place that is no less unique than floating market itself. Right in the middle of the Barito river, there is also land called the island and is known for its name with Kembang Island.
Why is called the Flower Island, which is reputedly the island said the delta of the Barito river is just a pile of ordinary soil and long growing continues with more and more land and then overgrown with vegetation so that continues to grow, so the name of the delta has become Kembang Island.
The island is overgrown with vegetation typical of Borneo, and is currently inhabited by a herd of monkeys including the type of long-tailed macaque monkeys alias. And in the middle of the island he said there is also a king with a larger body. On the island of administrative regions including the District of Barito Kuala, South Kalimantan have a place for worship for the ethnic Chinese, where there is a place of worship with a replica of the white monkey / Hanuman.
To reach the island is not very difficult let alone have previously visited the floating market, the island is already visible when we will go to the market. And after visiting the Floating Market boats usually have to offer if we are interested to Flower Island or not, or if not offered enough to have jukungnya asked whether they could continue the journey to the Island of Flowers.
And before leaning in island Flower small items should be hidden inside the bag and held it tightly both glasses, hats, watches, cameras, because if not, would dicolong by these monkeys. And it should prepare snacks to be given to a flock of monkeys. The monkeys here are very aggressive, it could be because they are starving .... And if the monkey should not be afraid to lean or close to the pier, because it would be hysterical to see a very aggressive monkey-agresify who climbed into boats, enough to see from far-away only how monkeys behave.
