We visited the famous white clock tower in Art Deco style with traditional Indonesian roof style in August 2019. It’s located in a pleasant area of Bukittingi, with: - many horse drawn carts allowing to do sightseeing tours, which are highly recommended for families with kids! - many small shops and colourful markets and sellers. Very pleasant area!!!

We visited the beautiful Sianok canyon in August 2019, that is located about 4 km far from Bukittingi. It’s a very fine valley with a river meandering and 100 meters high cliffs, with Singgalang volcano in the background. There are also typical villages. We visited Kota Gadang that is famous for silverware; there are also beautiful houses in the Minangkabau style and old Dutch style houses. A very pleasant area!
