We visited Pagaruyung palace in August 2019. This palace is the most famous attraction in MinangKabau area. The palace is very beautiful and well preserved. It has typical architecture of Minangkabau style with peaked roofs and walls that are remarkably carved and richly decorated.

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.

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!

A fine example of war history and human endurance! Well worth the experience, be sure to get an English speaking guide though. Without a guide, would be an injustice unless you can converse in Bahasa...
