If you have any interest in architecture this is a must see. You don't get a sense of the scale of it unless you're there in person. It's huge. The design is based on a traditional Minangkabau Gadang house. You have to see it at various times. It's impressive during the day and beautiful at night. This is worth visiting Padang for. Note that this is a place of worship and any visitors need to be respectful.

Where else you can get to a waterfall without much walking or hiking? The waterfall looks great, with cool and clear water under it. The entrance fee was Rp.5K/person. A nice place to stop for a while and stretch your leg between Padang and Bukittinggi.
