A port city in the Lampung region of southern Sumatra in western Indonesia. It has a population of about 130,000. It is located at the head of Lampung Bay, a large inlet into the Sunda Strait. There is a regular railway ferry service between the city and Merak Port on the northwest coast of Java, 120 kilometers away. It has close ties with Java and serves as a gateway to Sumatra from the south. The surrounding area is the largest settlement of Javanese people, and coffee and pepper cultivation is thriving. In 1983, it merged with Tanjung Karang, its northern neighbor, and was renamed Bandar Lampung.
