Sign in to saveAlso known as Leihitu District
Leihitu, alternately called the Hitu Land () or the Leihitu Peninsula (Indonesian: Jazirah Leihitu or Semenanjung Leihitu), is the major portion of Ambon Island in the Maluku Province of Indonesia. It includes the larger share of the land area of the island, only excluding the Leitimur Peninsula which projects from the southeast corner of Leihitu, the two being separated — apart from a narrow isthmus linking them — by the extensive Ambon Bay on the west side of the isthmus and the much smaller Baguala Bay on the east side.

Leihitu, alternately called the Hitu Land () or the Leihitu Peninsula (Indonesian: Jazirah Leihitu or Semenanjung Leihitu), is the major portion of Ambon Island in the Maluku Province of Indonesia. It includes the larger share of the land area of the island, only excluding the Leitimur Peninsula which projects from the southeast corner of Leihitu, the two being separated — apart from a narrow isthmus linking them — by the extensive Ambon Bay on the west side of the isthmus and the much smaller Baguala Bay on the east side.
==Administrative division== The southern side of Leihitu forms part of the area of Ambon City, and faces the central part of that city across Ambon Bay. The greater part of Leihitu (after excluding the part within the city) forms three of the administrative districts (kelurahan) of Central Maluku Regency — Leihitu District in the north of the island, West Leithitu District (Leithitu Barat) in the southwest and Salahutu District in the northeast.
