Merauke is located in Indonesia's easternmost province of Papua, the eastern extremity of Indonesia's territory, bordering Papua New Guinea. As an important border city, Merauke is Indonesia's strategic gateway to the Pacific coast, with a unique blend of cultures and rich natural resources.
Malochi is located in a tropical rainforest climate zone, which is warm and humid all year round, and is surrounded by extensive swamps, mangroves and lowland forests. Its geographical location near the equator is characterized by remarkable biodiversity and is the habitat of many rare plants and animals.
Malauchi's economy is based on agriculture, fishing and forestry, and is rich in timber, palm oil and seafood. Most of the local residents are indigenous Papuan tribes, and the traditional culture is relatively well preserved, with unique dances, carvings and rituals attracting anthropological researchers. In recent years, the government is promoting border trade and ecotourism.
Connected to Indonesia's major cities via Mopp Airport, Marochi offers travelers the opportunity to explore the wetland ecology of Wasur National Park or visit World War II-era historical sites. Its border markets are also unique for trading cross-border goods.
