5 Must-see Places in Pontianak, Indonesia


 
Travel & Tourism,Writing,Blogs
Pontianak has a variety of destinations that can interest every curious traveler. These include the longhouses of the Dayak people and a monument that marks the location of the earth's equator.

A getaway in Pontianak can mean a lot of things — from indulgences in a classy resort to relaxing coffee breaks with the locals along Jalan Pattimura. Every activity here is as enriching as you can imagine. Read on to learn the 5 most interesting destinations in Pontianak, Indonesia.

Equator Monument Pontianak is said to be the only city that sits right on the equator. The Equator Monument was built in 1928, very close to the actual recorded location of the equator in 2005. You might want to schedule a visit to this landmark on September 21 to 23 to experience a 5-minute shadowless sunlight.

Saham Longhouse A longhouse is a narrow, single-room establishment that houses communities. Visiting one like Saham Longhouse allows you to interact with and immerse yourself in the culture of the Dayak people, an ethnic group native to Borneo island. The Saham Longhouse is home to one of the longest and oldest longhouses in the region. This one is 180-meter long and more than 200 years old.

Aloe Vera Center Aloe vera is known in the world for its soothing, moisturizing, and healing properties. While mainly used in shampoo and other cosmetic products, in Pontianak, aloe vera is available as chips, candies, and drinks.

Kadriyah Palace Glimpse back into 18th century Pontianak when you visit the Kadriyah Palace. It was built in 1771 during the reign of Syarif Abdurrahman Alqadrie as the city's sultan from 1770 to 1808. Now, the palace is a museum of royal relics.

Kapuas River Kapuas River is the longest river in Indonesia—in fact among the world's longest also. You can enjoy the Kapuas in many ways. One is you rent a boat and have a local tour you down the river. If you have access to a helicopter or private jet, you can fly above the river and be awed by how it snakes through lush green fields. Or you can simply sit on the banks and wait for the sun to set.

Pontianak has long been attracting tourists because of these very interesting attractions. Luckily, resorts and hotels like Gardenia Resort and Spa are present in the city. Now, tourists can enjoy their Pontianak getaway, while staying in comfortable and affordable accommodations.
