food had fly in it (but I accidentally ate it) but thankfully I didn't get sick. recreation center of the building was nice. but no AC. so it was hot. overall, recommended!

Worth a visit if you are in Pontiamnak. The original monument in in the new building. The guide is very and friendly and knowledgeable about the history. There are also quite nice eating places and toilets. You can also walk along the river side.

There is nothing much to see. Just a “mini museum / science Center” stating that the location we were in is right at the equator. Paid Rp20k to enter that building and they issued me a certificate. Ok lah, at least there’s a take away. As for location, According to the Grab driver, the location is situated “out of town” from Pontianak. We took a Grab from the city to that location. When they drop us, he waited for us. (Before that he asked us whether should he go off line? I told him, just go online - don’t wait for me.) but he still waited for us. Initially I taught he can’t get any job back to the city. Then we went to have light breakfast, so he eventually didn’t wait for us and he just drove off. After we were done, we did th booking and we waited for at least 30 minutes to have a driver. That time the driver was about to drop off another foreigner to that location, or else, no reason why he comes. In fact, we were the only foreigner and the other visitors were school children, whom the school organise some event and use that location as the venue for their activities. So in conclusion, it is almost impossible to get a Grab driver unless you are sooo lucky to find one. For my case when the grab driver drove off, when I think back, it was a lose lose situation. The driver have to drive out empty handed, while we took more than 30 minutes to find a driver. Just imagine we didn’t have our light breakfast, at least we can secure that driver whom brought us here and he can bring us back.

Tugu Khatulistiwa. Not so many things to see and not so many people come. Entrance ticket is 10k for domestic adult and 20k for foreigner adult. Recommended to visit on march and September to experience day without shadow. Yet it's very clean and comfortable place to gain knowledge. There are many souvenir shop and snack corner around. Nearby there's tiny park faces Kapuas river.

Tugu Khatulistiwa — one of Pontianak’s must-visit spots. Not much to do, but it’s a unique place and great for quick photos.They even give a certificate when you visit.

Tremendous potential here for tourists to be ferried here instead of driving here. The way here is certainly a challenge. Make it easier to get here would be very nice indeed There's 2 ferries tied to the pier ... Perhaps those types too expensive to operate here. The idea is to include the ferry tickets into the entrance fees or even package it with lunch in the boat or use a cheaper ferry for lunch/dinner by one of restaurants here. There need to be more efforts to bring tourists here. As it is was very hot and being in the doldrums would be nice if there are solar powered fans, even solar powered lights or other cooling equipments ... After all there is an abundance solar power on the equator. There's a good row of restaurants and cafes here ... All that's need is to bring in the crowds The museum by the equator monument is much nicer albeit can be bigger ... But the gardens are much nicer ... Love the pier and just chilling out under the thatchet roofs. Lost 1 star due to the inconvenience in getting here ... Need a determination to get here otherwise would not have the will to get here.

The Equator Monument, or Tugu Khatulistiwa, is located in Pontianak, Indonesia, marking the equator’s position. Originally built in 1928. The site features four ironwood poles and includes a museum showcasing its history. A notable phenomenon occurs during solar culmination when the sun is directly overhead, causing objects to cast no shadows. This event happens twice a year, attracting visitors to experience this unique occurrence. Once u pay ur entrance u will b given a short history after which u will recv a cert.

Nice place to spend time in Pontianak. You can take boat by paying Rp30,000 and enjoy Kapuas Rivet at night

Need more maintenance and cleaning up some space in here, just okay and recommend to come around 5pm above cuz more lovely and more people gather and come around that time

We read glowing reviews about this place, so, we wanted to visit when we were on Pontianak. But sadly, this place looks so poorly maintained when we visited yesterday. Only few people were there. This place gave an impression of an abandoned park. We came around 5 PM. We had our imagination about how our evening would be. So, we took Grab from our hotel. Initially, we planned to take the boat ride, while watching the sunset. But, sadly, no boat was seen around, neither any signs or anyone or anything that helped us to get more information. It was just a wide empty area. Plus, it was raining. So, idk, was it because of the rain, or just bad timing, but it was really not as we have imagined. So, we only stayed there for 10 minutes, then we left. We saw a big tourism bus was coming, but soon took off after the tour guide checked the place. Hopefully this place will be improved someday, because we think it has a potential. The Kapuas river is big and it does look amazing, almost like Chaophraya river in Bangkok. Just needs a little more care and maintenance.

So much fun activity, even in a hot day.

Thia park located at the kapuas river side, in front of the mayer's office. This park is a bit small, not too good for sport activity. People often go there for relax at the riverside. There so many tree here. It has a nice scenery. The less of this park is there are not enough lamp at the park, so it is so dark at the night.

Simple place and you can catch a boat ride here to some part of Sungai Kapuas. In Dec 2018, boat fare range is Rp15000 to Rp20000. I love the ride at around 3pm to 4pm, much to see and longer route and hence I've paid Rp20,000.

Nice garden, you can refresh your mind here or just hangout relaxing with friend or gf/bf. And you can enjoy the Kapuas river, there are boats too which can take you roaming around the river.

Discover comfort and excitement in this mall area! With a variety of interesting shops and a spacious jogging area, this place has become a favorite for Pontianak city dwellers to exercise on their days off and every weekend. The fresh atmosphere and ample facilities make every step more enjoyable🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

The first time I came to Kalimantan, I went to this mall, as I usually do when visiting a mall for the first time, just to watch a movie at the cinema. This cinema was the first and only one I had seen before, as the other cinema (which could be considered temporarily closed) was due to mall collapse. I wondered, “Do all residents who want entertainment have to go to this mall?” Especially if there are interesting movies that also happen to be available in neighboring countries, which can be reached via a more convenient land route. Although this mall does not have a ground floor like most malls in other cities on Java Island, the tenants also support local SMEs by selling one of their signature products. Like most other malls, this one also has tenants in the F&B, lifestyle, hobby, electronics, and daily necessities sectors. Aming Coffee, a legendary coffee shop from the 1970s, was one of the tenants worth trying. Although not all tenants have been experienced yet, especially those with the city's signature coffee flavor, I have had the opportunity to experience several other F&B tenants; such as Bakso Lapangan Tembak Senayan, a food court featuring Soto Medan with its tantalizing coconut milk aroma, CW Coffee with its original Arenga Sekar Asri blend, which has a strong palm sugar aroma and a bold taste on the tongue, Gramedia, and Hypermart. One memorable aspect of watching a movie here was getting a promo where you only pay the admin fee, which you can also get from a friend in one of the groups. My first movie watched here was GJLS: Ibuku Ibu Ibu, one of the most absurd films I’ve ever seen, possibly without any shortcuts or sharper editing. Everything felt authentic during filming, with a process filled with humor, as the three main characters were inherently funny and absurd. From this, I learned that not every area necessarily has good access to accommodate all residents, especially in areas with high income or state revenue (wkwk), such as public transportation on the island of Java. Although access to this mall from my boarding house or workplace can be considered close, as it is within walking distance, it requires more effort to get there, especially after watching a night movie at the cinema. However, in my personal opinion, this serves as a lesson for the future, enabling me to own a private vehicle and drive it without fear. Fortunately, this area still has access to online-based transportation services like online ride-hailing apps, and it also supports online food ordering, which I previously thought was less accesible to many people.

Ayani mega mall is the bigest mall in Pontianak. But actually it is just a small shopping mall. In the ground level, there a cafes and restaurants, clothes shop, bags shop and a supermarket 'hypermart', at fl1st and 2nd level there a matahari departement store, houseware, restaurant. There a gramedia book store at 1st level too. And food court located at the 2nd floor. At 3rd floor, there a cinema XXI and planet fit gym. So, it is a quite good and complete shopping mall, but it is to pity that no an international brands such uniqlo and H&M store there, since most clothes I used are those brands. At Sunday morning, they have a car free day event.

One of the best n modern shopping mall along the roadside towards the kota pontianak. Hypermarket at ground floor offer plenty of daily use food ,electrical , living room n hardware items under one roof, 1st &2nd floor offer food court, restaurants, fashion shop, mobile shop, AEC shop etc. Top floor was the XXI cinema, where you can watch the movie in day and night time. Ample of parking space at the back n surrounding of mall.

Best & biggest mall in the city. Since 2004, it's become the one and only pleasure place for every single citizen who want to enjoy the market

Still the best mall for exhibition or running a campaign despite the existence of few other bigger and modern malls in Pontianak.

"Mall nya orang Pontianak". Ahmad Yani Mall best known as Ayani Mall is one of the best Mall in West Borneo. This Mall is one of the icon of Pontianak City. Located in main Street of pontianak. This Mall is big, clean. Have 3rd main floor. This Mall doesn't have basement parking lot. You can find the masjid inside the mall, located in 4th floor, near from rooftop parking hall.

It has always been moving when I entered this mosque and felt the ambience.

This is the largest masjid in West Borneo. The masjid located in the Middle of Pontianak City. The masjid is so clean.

Very beautiful place to visit as a tourist.

Big mosque or probably the biggest in the area. Nice place that have good air circulation to help us hiding from hot pontianak wheather

Impresive, huge mosque, clean, tall tower, beutiful at night

Middle east design for this mosque, advice to improve facility like a door of refrigerator that was broke. Overall this is the biggest mosque in pontianak

A huge and also the main mosque in Pontianak. Impressive

Old palace in Pontianak. Interesting history. Apparently the old Sultan designed the narional crest of Indonesia. There is no entrance free, but you’re welcome to donate

The Palace is packed with historical items the Pontianak Sultanate Royal Family had left. Although the Palace is no longer the residence of the Royal Family, it now becomes akin to a museum. Throughout the visit, the local tour guide was welcoming and helpful in explaining everything we were curious about, including the political strife of the Royal Family (I dunno why but the story left a strong impression). Although, the local government, in my opinion, should develop the surrounding areas since honestly I was surprised and didn't expect that there's a Palace here.

The Istana gives a mixed impression: a big majestic building, but it does not impress. Probably because the surroundings are not well maintained. Was too early and istana still closed but had a walk around the veranda. Pictures paint a thousand words. Anyway a must visit if in Pontianak. And preferably during opening hours.

I got a lot of stories when I entered this palace. I have a slightly unpleasant experience when taking photos. My advice, before you take a picture of the surrounding area, it is better to get permission from the palace crew. There, you will meet someone who is ready to guide and tell about the history of the palace. So far, this is a destination that you must visit when coming to Pontianak.

Its sad to see the Istana Qadriyah Pontianak Almost like the abandoned palace..in fact there are so many historical events there Such as the emblem of "garuda pancasila" our national proud made and designed by Sultan Hamid Al Qadry the 3rd..which is the third generation of Sultan Al Qadry..

The environment is not so clean around the palace. I think the local government doesnt take a good care of this place.. I dont even need a ticket to enter the palace area.. There is a man whom I think is a guide there but more into the only one who cares this cultural building. He was friendly and nice..

Known as the largest catholic church in Asia. A very big and beautiful church that I ever see. Please wear appropriate clothing and keep quiet when you pay a visit to the church. It's completely free.

Majestic cathedral in the center of Pontianak, and in my opinion one of the grandest church in Indonesia. I came for 6pm mass, and the stained glass windows really stood out with colorful light, depicting saints and biblical scenes. The large, centrally placed altar, elevated and framed by tall Corinthian-style columns. It's certainly worth the visit.

This really the most beautiful church I ever come in. The concept, design, structure, till the altar was wonderful and really showcase the God's magnificence. If you are Catholic this will be one of your top priority and shortlist to visit in Pontianak. I notice there's also a lot of visitor or tourist while we are there taking a picture. So happy and glad to have a Eucharistic Mass here.

OMG, I finally visited the Pontianak Cathedral! 🤩 I can't believe it took me this long, being born and raised here. The architecture is stunning, so grand and impressive. Definitely worth the wait! I took tons of pictures, gotta share them later. Anyone else been? #PontianakCathedral #Borneo #TravelIndonesia

Very beautiful church. The building is still original, but the interior was just recently renovated. The parking lot is limited, better go there with taxi. If you go there for Sunday Mass, don’t come too last minute as the 2nd floor seating quite high.

The most beautiful church/cathedral in pontianak also nothing in sabah can match such marvel, pure artistry, from door carving to large vibrant stained glass whether Clerestory or Lancet thy r just beautiful to look at n the space is just breathtaking. I cld sleep here at peace. St. Joseph has the wow factor n kudos to the interior designer. I hv sum points i wld hv dun different but lets not take away the beauty dis cathedral has to offer. 👍🏼

Catholic church. Friendly to visitors. You can make prayer inside the church, at the adoration room, and in front of Maria’s statue beside the church.

Went there 1 year ago (September 2024), good collections and history. Sadly they updated the opening hours and its now closed on weekends & Monday (September 2025). Since we’re visiting from Kuching Sarawak mainly over the weekends this is quite dissapointing. We lose one of main attractions went going to Pontianak.

Came during lunch hour so had to wait for the staff to reopen the ticket counter at 1pm. However while waiting we could take some pictures of the outside area and then continue the inside part of the museum which was very, very interesting and air-conditioned too. Lots of things to learn about their culture. Very recommended place to visit.

Surprisingly, the indoor display is well designed! The color pallette is striking, the order of the artefacts are properly placed, in a reasonable chronology. Most museums in Indonesia can be disappointing: only a collection of random items dumped into one, with very little rhyme or reason. This museum is not one of those disappointing ones: it has enough information to be comprehensive, but without being overwhelming. The building could use better lighting. Inside it feels like a warehouse, or a brutalist architecture from the deep 50s. I'm sure there are ghosts inside -- it feels creepy and will definitely bring you goosebumps if you're the metaphysical type. But overall, great. The infographics in the museum (map of races in West Kalimantan, artefacts spread, etc) are surprisingly very good and enjoyable!

coming 30min before close, staff there is profesional and good. staff name eka is so nice, give tour and explanation. eka answered all my questioned. although, time has past the closing time. He keep guide me until finish. Thumbs up to eka 👍👍 free entry, no ticket needed

Still not a decent museum. I've visited several time from long time ago. I recommend to do a mayor renovation. Why not benefit from the plenty sunlight by making see through glass windows. Shame.

The ticket is very cheap, 3.000 rupiah. You can see many things like some ancient tools, some old buildings, culture in west kalimantan and many more. I think the facilities need an improvement.

It is a good place to learn about the history and traditions of the Dayaks. The tour guide of the museum was very friendly and knowledgeable. My family and I learnt lots from him.

The traditional Rumah Adat Dayak Betang in Pontianak. You can feel the heritage. Sadly its not maintained very well. But open for public and welcomed to visit

one proof of changing interests, hopefully their existence is maintained.

Iconic places but they don't maintain it very well

😃

Get to see the other cultures.

Ok

Traditional Dayak house

Wooden mosque from 1771 and until today still standing strong and in use. Majestic building. Visited early morning and building closed. This is a historic building for Pontianak and worthwhile a visit definitely in combination with Istana Qadriyah. Next to the mosque is a wet market which was very busy in the morning. One enters the compound over a small bridge.

Even i saw it mosque from far on boat, but it really beautiful mosque at night with colorful lighting MasyaAllah, i should to pray here next trip..

This is the oldest mosque in Pontianak for sure.

Well preseved heritage of mosque in the bank of Kapuas river

One of the biggest mosque in Pontianak. It was built using the strongest wood (Kayu Ulin) and it still strong until now

Good maintained historical man-made. It is easy to access if you go by rental car or you cross the Kapuas River by speed boat

The oldest mosque in Pontianak

A taoism temple situated right at the junction of the road. It has an interesting story why it can not be reallocated. Very nice view with the green mosque behind it.

At a relatively bizy corner, beautiful structure with deep history but small. One of those city attractions wen visiting Singkawang

It is told that this is the oldest shrine in the middle of the city of Singkawang. Every year at Chinese New Year celebration, this is the most beautiful and colorful spot with hundreds of red lanterns hanging in the sky. In the year of 2019, there is a couple of phoenix (bird from sky) beside this shrine.

This place really show it beauty at night when all the lights from the shops around the vihara is on. Right at the center of singkawang city. Lots of small and medium sized coffee shops. Crowded with people at saturday night. Coming he at saturday night is a must.

The oldest monastery in Singkawang. It is used for central activity of annual traditional ceremony of CapGomeh which attracts many tourists

The quintessential definition of a chinese town is a (tua) pekong. This is the one that is the pekong for Singkawang, as the ones that you have anywhere in towns of Borneo. It’s small, unlike the new ones that they are constructing (like the one at Roban) and worth visiting since you are at the area.

Singkawang's central Toapekong (Chinese temple). Always decorated merrily during Chinese New Year. A must see local tourist attraction. Nearby there's the Grand Mosque of Singkawang proving the religious tolerance of Singkawang people.

Beautiful building which brings you back in time. But the inside rooms are closed and no info about reopening.

Interesting place to visit. The structure is amazing even though it is modern. The giant steps can be climbed to get to the long house rooms. The rooms are closed, but you can peep though at the ends to see a little bit inside. There is food and toilets at the place. RPh 5000 to park.

Need major refinement works and it left unattractive physically due to the unfinished decorative structure of the building. From far it seems a tourist attraction by itself but not the inside. You won't spend more than 30 minutes here.

Great initiative by the government. The place looks well maintained. There's a souvenir shop which I bought a keychain at.

beautiful architecture..Must visit if you go to Pontianak.

A good placa to visit if come to pontianak. Dayak curture house, if come here we can see sun set in the evening and sun rise at the morning. It is a long house withe one side at the east and another side at the west

Amazing place. Good for taking pictures or just sitting around and having some convo. Bring your coffee because there is no worthy food and beverage here.

This is a traditional house of the Tjhia clan (谢协胜) which is located in Singkawang city. Inside this traditional house complex, there is a local restaurant that sells typical food from the city of Singkawang known as "Choi pan" or in English known as fried vegetable dumplings and in mandarin as "菜粿." Food prices are quite affordable and delicious. It would be better if you visit this place in the morning around 7 o'clock, because above the hour, the restaurant will be very crowded especially during holidays. The restaurant area is only allowed motorbike to enter. For cars, you can park it in a shopping complex located outside the area.

A heritage old house of Tjiang family. There's a dumpling restaurant inside. The flora is very much enjoyable. Must visit for tourist

The old buildings here are well preserved and they sell coifan mainly. Come here early in the morning and enjoy the food, then you can take a walk along the river, which is also good.

That's such a good place to go when you visiting Singkawang city. They serve one of the most popular Chinese food, called Choi Pan. and the food so amazing. The architecture of the Rumah Sejarah so cool, tho. It showed how traditional Chinese house really look like, and instragamable for y'all who want to take a picture. Here i put some pictures that i got there, Cheerio!

You need to come into a small alley (accessible by car) from the main road. Trust your GPS even though it seems like the alley is small. What makes this site special is the choi pan (a savoury dumpling Chinese dish) stall. It is known to be the best choi pan in the town. We had it for 15 cents for each piece (they really need to charge more for such delicacies) The chilli sauce that comes with it is simply superb. You also have the chance to chat and see the making process of the Choi pan.

great place, good food. i love the old chinese vibes. It is more than a century old but they manage to preserve the building well.

It's awesome and authentic from Singkawang. The choifan is delicious, and the history makes it special.

Unfortunately, I must to give this place a very bad review.. . It is so terrible that I don’t even know where to start... All of the animals are in horrible condition. They have no food or water, only a few have rodent-style water bottles, which are completely unsuitable. The enclosures are far too small, and many animals are clearly afraid of people. The whole place is unsafe — they really should take better care of security, especially the railings, because it’s very easy to fall somewhere. This place feels like someone tried to combine a funfair park with a zoo. Everywhere you look, there are giant statues of animals or cartoon characters (like spidrrman, dinosaurus, hulk, hellboy and etc...) that don’t fit in here at all. None of the attractions work anyway. We wanted to pay for tickets, looked for a counter, but some woman after asking said entrance is free. Come on people, how are you supposed to feed the animals if the entrance is free?!?! All the animals are skinny and have sunken bellies, no muscles. Honestly, this zoo should be shut down. The snakes have old skin stuck to them, they can’t shed properly, and they are given them old rotten meat that smells bad and they don’t even want to eat. Then there are the crocodiles — one has a bent snout, probably from being kept in a space that’s too small, and another had a very thin, collapsed belly... He just holding a piece of old meat in his mouth, and his teeth were stuck in it — the teeth are falling out and breaking... In the aquariums, you can even see dead fish mixed in with the live ones. The most bizarre thing about this “zoo”? Poodles and small dogs locked behind glass in a completely unsuitable place, without food or water, literally skin and bones. It was heartbreaking to see — I cried. This is nothing short of animal cruelty. I even found one small dog locked alone in a tiny cage far away from everything else, with nothing but a rodent water bottle... All these animals would be so much better off if they were released into nature. This is horrible. There is a small white monkey, very rare, but it is extremely frightened. He was cuddling with another monkey the way like abandoned children cling to each other in the streets. The giant squirrels had patches of fur missing from their tails. There was also a gibbon that was extremely — truly extremely — skinny, with no place to swing, which is essential and important for this type of primate. This whole place is nothing but a disappointment where animals are being abused. Yes, you can see that someone comes around to clean the excrement, but everything else is appalling. The animals receive no food or water, and when they do, it’s old and spoiled... Please just shut this zoo down. I’m attaching photos — make your own opinion...

Well. Its been a while since my last visit to this beach. I have to say. That im so impressed with what they have done. This place is really awesome for you guys who enjoy sunset and just walk around the beach. They got a lot of instagramable spot for you. Also you can see alot of marine life. Start from cat fish to dragon fish.... I highly recommend this beach for someone who just want to relax. Take some picture and calm yourself... But if you like. To get wet and do some swimming. Just drive 5 more mns and you will find a better spot for it. Just follow the road and you will found the better beach

The place is so beautiful and so peaceful but the only bad thing is the road to the beach is very bad.

Paid 60.000 rupiah can go to 4 places.. bajau beach, zoo..taman air and rindu alam. But taman air is worst. Nothing inside. I just love the beach and rindu alam.

Morning is the preferable time to visit, in afternoon it will be infested with trashes and litters. The nature view is exhilarating, the sand is tender, the playing facilities are mediocre.

Natural beach with beautiful scenery. If you go there with kids you can swim at the bay side because it has small wave and more safe for kids. They have theme park, hotel, and some cafe who sells coconut water and the other food in this area. You must pay Rp. 40.000 if you come in weekend.

When we came, we thought the place was still close since there was not so many people, no music, and there was people sleeping on some of the games. After taking pictures, we walked by the token booth and asked them what time will the place be open, surprisingly they said it was open and about to close at 6pm. The place have a lot of games but needs proper management and marketing. We were surprised that we lived just 5 hours drive away and we didnt know the place existed.

Best view

Amazing 🤩👍

A unique feeling just to stand & gaze at this beautiful piece of nature. Intrigued further by the legends shared by the local folks. A must visit if u are in the Sintang / Melawi area.

did caving here 7 years ago, climb up with the ladder to get it's entrance, what an experience...

nice

I lake

granite stone 🥰

Waterpark Paradise Q is an amazing place for a fun day out! Clean, safe, and full of exciting slides and relaxing pools. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is perfect for families or groups of friends. Totally worth a visit in Kubu Raya!

Good place for kids

the water is quite dirty in wave area, so many moss and leaf but the changing area is comfortable

This place provides best services for us, clean environment, amazing view, huge bathroom and toilet, good food with affordable price...

Clean,and many lifeguards on site. If you want to go, better try to get discount coupons of 50% from other sources. On weekday, the official price is 75000/person,whereas on weekend or holiday season, it is 125000/person (child below 80 cm get free entrance).

Pretty pricey on weekends. It cost 75k on weekdays, and 125k on weekends. Per person. You cant bring food from outside. The parking fee can be considered quite pricey for a swimming pool. I spent 3 hours and had to pay 4k, just for a HOT SUNBURN parking lot?

Good place to spend quality family time. Places is well maintained, staff is friendly, great waterpark.

Went there 1 year ago (September 2024), good collections and history. Sadly they updated the opening hours and its now closed on weekends & Monday (September 2025).

The ticket is very cheap, 3.000 rupiah. You can see many things like some ancient tools, some old buildings, culture in west kalimantan and many more. I think the facilities need an improvement.

It is a good place to learn about the history and traditions of the Dayaks. The tour guide of the museum was very friendly and knowledgeable. My family and I learnt lots from him.
