Banjarmasin

Banjarmasin adalah ibukota Propinsi Kalimatan Selatan. Sama seperti kota-kota lain di Indonesia, kota ini memiliki julukan. Karena berada di delta di pertemuan sungai Barito dan Martapura, kota yang berada 0,16 meter di bawah permukaan laut ini dijuluki Kota Sungai.

Karakterisik kehidupan di Kota Banjarmasin yang memiliki luas 97 km persegi ini dibentuk oleh sungainya. Sungai Martapura sangat dipengaruhi oleh pasang surut laut Jawa sehingga apabila pasang hampir seluruh wilayah kota digenangi air. Sungai pun dimanfaatkan sebesar mungkin terutama sebagai sarana transportasi air, pariwisata, perikanan, dan perdagangan. Penduduk banjarmasin masih banyak yang tinggal di rumah terapung. Rumah-rumah terapung dibangun di sepanjang sungai dan disebut rumah lanting yang bergoyang-goyang karena dimainkan gelombang.

Banyak kegiatan yang dilakukan di atas air, salah satunya perdagangan yang dikenal dengan sebutan Pasar Terapung. Pasar Terapung Muara Kuin adalah Pasar Tradisional yang berada di atas sungai Barito di muara sungai Kuin. Para pedagang dan pembeli menggunakan jukung, sebutan perahu dalam bahasa Banjar. Pasar ini mulai setelah shalat subuh sekitar pukul 04.00 sampai selepas pukul 07.00 pagi.

Di pasar terapung, perahu besar dan kecil milik pembeli dan penjual berdesak-desakkan memenuhi sungai, hilir mudik mencari pembeli sambil digoyang gelombang sungai. Jukung-jukung yang sarat muatan membawa barang dagangan berupa sayur mayur, buah-buahan, segala jenis ikan dan berbagai kebutuhan rumah tangga. Pasar terapung tidak terorganisir rapi seperti pasar di daratan, sehingga tidak terdapat catatan jumlah pedagang dan pembeli, atau pembagian kios-kios berdasarkan barang yang diperdagangkan. Yang istimewa, di pasar ini masih sering terjadi transaksi barter, atau bapanduk dalam Bahasa Banjar.

Pasar terapung menjadi salah satu tujuan wisata Banjarmasin yang diminati wisatawan. Setelah pasar usai, wisatawan dapat menyusuri derah Kuin dengan pemukiman rumah lantingnya dengan speedboat sewaan.
