Visiting Muaro Jambi Temple

I am Adi, a 6th grader at SD Negeri 214 Bukit Jaya, Muaro Jambi


Regency. Last semester holiday, my family and I visited the Muara
Jambi temple in Jambi. We departed after Fajr prayer and breakfast. We
brought our swimming gear as we were planning to stop by the new city
swimming pool in the afternoon. I wore light brown jeans and a light
beige collared t-shirt and a brown cap in the same color as the pants.

We passed a very long bridge, the name is bridge Aurduri-2. This


bridge crosses the Batanghari river, the longest river on the island of
Sumatera. In about 50 minutes we arrived at the gate of the Muaro Jambi
temple. There was a welcome greeting as if greeting us. On the left and
right of the road there are many vendors selling accessories such as large
hats, jackets, t-shirts, to toys such as key chains, balloons, and others.
After paying the entrance ticket, we immediately visited the Muara
Jambi Temple museum which is located on the right before heading to
Candi Tinggi. There are a lot of relics from the 6th-7th centuries such as
the findings of giant cooking utensils, pieces of statues, gold-mixed soil,
dioramas, and others.

We also visited some of the main temples and menapo. The main
temples are the tall temple, the Gumpung temple, the Kedaton temple,
the twin temples of Batu I and II. Menapo is a mound of temple ruins
that have not been restored in the form of a large pile of bricks. The
number of menapo is approximately 80 pieces.
We came home after noon and went straight to Jambi city. We swam in
the new city Pool until 5pm. After stopping at the Jambi mayor's
roundabout and enjoying the evening culinary delights, we returned
home and arrived home shortly after the Azan Maghrib (call to prayer).
