Black gold pumps through Balikpapan’s veins, from the endless stream of traffic, to the concrete, glass and steel business blocks competing for attention along the main drag. The huge oil refinery dominates the city and, when flying in, you can see stray tankers and offshore oil rigs.
For travellers it’s best enjoyed for a bout of air-con and Western pleasantries. Industrious strips of traders, eateries and hotels line the waterfront, and climbing the hills, the concrete peters out into the lush green suburbs that pepper slopes around Gunung Pancur.
