Pulau Kemaro !! is a small island in the middle of the Musi river. In this island seated an old Chinese Klenteng (temple) with new towering Pagoda, which attracts millions of Chinese visitors each year for the Cap Go Meh celebration, 15 days to the Chinese New Year. So far no information on how old the Klenteng building is, or the graves within it.
