WW: Singkawang, West Kalimantan, Indonesia

As I post this WW from Yangon, Myanmar, I have seen so many Buddhist temples, monasteries and 'dragons' in this golden land.

I instantly remember my visit to Singkawang, one of the big cities in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. 

Although not pretty much the same as the shiny temples in Yangon, but the vibrant colors really caught my attention...

Amazing Indonesia: #Singkawang, West Kalimantan

I welcomed myelf to Singkawang last October 2012..

We had an official visit to West Kalimantan, exploring Pontianak, Singkawang and Entikong, Indonesia's border with Malaysia..

Quite a colorful journey for sure...

And this time, let me share my lovely time in Singkawang...


Literally adorned with thousands of temples, Singkawang is indeed the jewel in the western part of  Kalimantan..

traditionally composed of Chinese- descent offsprings, the city indeed reflect the vibrant cultural heritage of our Chinese ancestors..


Wherever you look, you'll easily spot temples...colorful ones for sure :D...

After religious visit to the Budhist temples, it's time to hit the beach...

Yuuuup ..... it's Pasir Panjang Beach, still in Singkawang, West Kalimantan...



Well, well...surely we were having fun thereeee...

It was a windy and cloudy day when we came, but we still found it amusing to stay on the beach while waiting for our lunch..

clear, blue sky coupled with turquoise water...guarantee to feast your eyes and refresh your body, mind and soul...

So, all in all....do take some times to visit Singkawang....I heard the best time is during Cap Go Meh or Chinese New Year...hmmm, I can't wait to come back...
