Cinta Manis Lama – settlement in South Sumatra province, in Kecamatan Banyuasin I
Cinta Manis Lama is an Indonesian settlement located in South Sumatra (Sumatera Selatan) province, within the Kabupaten Banyu Asin administrative unit, belonging to Kecamatan Banyuasin I (the Banyuasin I district). Based on its coordinates (-2.9176 degrees south latitude, 104.9063 degrees east longitude), the settlement is positioned near Palembang, the capital of the province, on the southern part of Sumatra island. No independent encyclopedic or statistical source specific to the settlement is available; therefore, the description below relies primarily on verified data accessible at the provincial level and known characteristics of the broader region. South Sumatra province, of which Cinta Manis Lama forms a part, had a population of approximately 9.1 million people at the end of 2024.
General overview
Cinta Manis Lama belongs to the Kecamatan Banyuasin I administrative district, which forms part of Kabupaten Banyu Asin. This hierarchical administrative structure – province, kabupaten, kecamatan, desa/kelurahan levels – is characteristic of administrative organization throughout Indonesia and applies here as well. Kabupaten Banyu Asin lies in the immediate vicinity of the city of Palembang and is situated partly on the floodplain and lowland terrain of the Musi River, where swampy, peat-rich areas and riverine agriculture are both present. Considering South Sumatra province as a whole, a significant portion of economic activity is generated by the primary sector – oil and gas extraction, coal mining, and agriculture, particularly palm oil production and rubber tree plantations. These general characteristics of the province may be indicative of the rural districts of Kabupaten Banyu Asin, and presumably of the broader environment surrounding Cinta Manis Lama, although it is not possible to confirm this with data specific to the settlement itself. The administrative center at the Kecamatan Banyuasin I level is Banyuasin, whose infrastructural conditions influence the accessibility of all villages in the district.
Real estate and investment
No authenticated, publicly available real estate market data or analysis is available for Cinta Manis Lama. It is characteristic of Kabupaten Banyu Asin as a whole that due to its proximity to Palembang, the real estate market is more active in certain districts – particularly in areas closer to the city – while in more distant, agriculturally-oriented rural villages, transaction volumes and prices move at more moderate levels. It is generally true for South Sumatra province that real estate market development is concentrated primarily in the city of Palembang and its agglomeration. From an investment perspective, it is worthwhile to consider the general framework of Indonesian land ownership regulations: foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) to productive land or private residential property in Indonesia, and legal long-term utilization forms – such as Hak Guna Bangunan (building usage rights) or Hak Pakai (usage rights) – require the involvement of an Indonesian legal expert. All these general frameworks apply to the entire country, including South Sumatra province, and are not exclusive to Cinta Manis Lama.
Safety and security
The available source material does not contain specific, settlement-level data on public safety in Cinta Manis Lama; therefore, it is not possible to provide crime statistics. South Sumatra province is generally counted among Indonesia's relatively stable regions, although the security situation varies across different areas of the country. Rural, agriculturally-oriented communities – such as many districts in Kabupaten Banyu Asin – are generally characterized by a close relationship between living conditions and local public safety on the one hand, and the availability of economic opportunities and the level of infrastructure development on the other. For visitors and those interested in the area, it is advisable to consult current information from local authorities and consulates, as regional security characteristics found in generally accessible sources cannot necessarily be applied precisely to the specific situation.
Tourist attractions
The available source material does not identify specific tourist attractions, natural features, or cultural landmarks particular to Cinta Manis Lama. The broader region, South Sumatra province, however, is considered historically and culturally significant: the province's capital, Palembang, is recognized as the center of the Buddhist Srivijaya Kingdom (Kedatuan Sriwijaya) between the 7th and 14th centuries, which was one of Southeast Asia's most influential political and commercial centers during that period. Palembang, the provincial capital itself, preserves numerous historical monuments and cultural heritage sites that can be visited by those interested in the region. The areas of Kabupaten Banyu Asin are characterized by riverine landscapes, floodplain terrain, and the Musi River valley, which form a geographically distinctive environment with widely known regional characteristics – however, it is not possible to name specific attractions particular to Cinta Manis Lama due to the absence of sources.
Summary
Cinta Manis Lama is a settlement located in South Sumatra province, in Kecamatan Banyuasin I district of Kabupaten Banyu Asin, positioned near Palembang. No direct, authenticated source is available regarding the settlement; therefore, the above description summarizes verified data and general characteristics accessible at the provincial and kabupaten levels, clearly indicating the broader context. For those interested in the settlement and the Banyu Asin region – whether for real estate purchase, investment, or tourism purposes – the involvement of local authorities, the Indonesian land office, and reliable local experts is essential for accurate, up-to-date information.
