Pusat Perdagangan Batu Permata & Kerajinan Pasar Inpres Kebun Sayur Balikpapan / Kebun Sayur Handicraft and Souvenir Market
This is one of the well known places to visit for souvenirs, where you can find shops selling gemstones, such as diamonds, jade or gold. Kalimantan is rich with minerals and this is one of the reasons why gemstones are cheaper here compared to other places in Indonesia. Apart from gemstones, you can also find t-shirts or the Dayak’s arts shops. If you have any jewelry, gold or silver that needs to be cleaned or refreshed, some shops provide the service.
