The furthest west part of Mataram city is the old port town of Ampenan,the descendants of early Chinese and Arab traders settled here in a maze of shop houses,although tradinghas long since
ceased,and the warehouses on the coast and other heritage buildings are interesting relics of the past.Today Ampenan has a square and esplanade attracting particularly local people around sunset. It is home to a fishing community. It has a selection of restaurants, antique and art shops.
