Location : Kecamatan Kandangan, Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Selatan, Kalimantan Selatan, Indonesia.

The downhill drive from Loksado along the Kandangan-Batu Licin Road was easy as the road was very well maintained for the safety of tourists. In less than an hour we arrived at Kandangan, a town famous for its ‘ketupat’ and ‘dodol’.

But we were more impressed by the enchanting paddy fields along both sides of Brigadir Jenderal Hasan Basri Road leading towards another town called Rantau. authentic, Indigenous, ethnic, Banjarese, native, Borneo, Hulu Sungai Selatan, Indonesia, Kandangan, paddy field, sawah padi, Tourism, traditional, village, 稻田旅游景点Kandangan, authentic, Indigenous, native, Borneo, Hulu Sungai Selatan, Indonesia, South Kalimantan, paddy field, sawah padi, Tourism, tourist attraction, obyek wisata, travel guide, village, authentic, Indigenous, Kandangan, Banjarese, Hulu Sungai Selatan, sawah padi, Tourism, tourist attraction, obyek wisata, traditional, village, Borneo.南加里曼丹, 婆罗州, 稻田景点As we drove along this road enjoying the beautiful scenery, we noticed this group of locals rod fishing along the edge of the paddy fields.

Found out only tiny little ones.  Guess these guys did it just to kill time and having fun as the bites were pretty frequent.
