Sunrise At Paotere Harbour Editorial Image

Pelabuhan Paotere, 4km north of the city centre, is a large port where Bugis sailing ships berth. There`s usually lots of activity on the dock and in the huge fish market a few streets south, which is one of Indonesia`s biggest. Pelabuhan Paotere is one of the most atmospheric parts of the city from dawn until mid-morning, when giant tuna and every sea creature imaginable are traded. The high rainfall and human factors that cause characteristic changes especially in the upstream areas make the water from the flow of Tallo River in the rainy season often overflows, and cause flooding in the surrounding area.
