Visitors enjoy the beauty of Lake Sipin in Jambi city on Feb. 9 (9/2/2020). The lake is now clean after the launching of the #savedanausipin movement in 2015.
Lake Sipin has a brand new look. The erstwhile trash-laden lake, known as a “den of drugs”, has been transformed into a new tourism magnet. Indeed, tourism is the newfound spirit of the lake at the heart of Jambi city.
Since early morning on Feb. 9, tourist boats had been busy carrying passengers on Lake Sipin. It was not yet 9 a.m., and Agani, 70, had carried passengers on three trips around the lake. As the day continued, there seemed to be no sign of stopping for him.
