A Tourist's Guide to Pontianak ( Equator City) Indonesia

- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- I fly off to the Indonesian city of Pontianak, also known as Equator City due to its location on zero-degrees longitude.
To stand on the equator has long been on my bucket list and, in Pontianak (incidentally, named after the vampire witches who once resided there) I finally got the chance.
As well as the Equator Monument I see the following things:
Kapuas River Cruise
Landak Bridge
Digulis Monument
Alun Alun Kapuas
St. George's Cathedral
Kadriah Palace
Rumah Adat Radakng Dayak
Grand Mosque
🇰🇪 My Country KENYA is devided by half by the EQUATOR. I never head of Pontianak, KILIMANTAN until now and I found you. 😂
I lived on BOTH sides of the Equator ALL life going to School & going back to thr Farm where I grew-up. I now live in Canada.👌👍 🇰🇪🇨🇦
I've been living there for 5 years, a city of diversity. Malay, dayak, thiong hoa, and the others ethnic living in harmony. People smile at each other.
And the sun right above us. It's extremely hot sometimes but since kalimantan is a green island and known as the lung of Indonesia, you won't feel the burn.
One thing I also remember about this place is the smell of rubber from a factory in "Siantan" area
Thanks for the info!
Can't wait to get back to Pontianak and will try remember to check out the zero-degrees longitude 🤣
Thank for sharing sir. one day I'll be there.
Hey man Hey guys glad you enjoyed the vid!
Hello Brother, nice to meet U in this channel.
Thanks!
Pontianak on the equator but actually on 0 01 S its very close to the actually equatorial line!!
Awesome!!!
I was born and raised there.
12:38 "Ruang Serbaguna" means multifunction room/space. So there was probably a wedding ceremony.
That's cathedral church very near from my house the very Big St Joseph church in Pontianak city.
When the Chinese were brought over to Kalimantan in the 18 and 19 century, Indonesia was a Dutch colony. Meaning they were most probably brought over by the Dutch. Thank you very much and kind regards, fsw
Thanks for the information.
@@JasonSmartTravel Always a pleasure Jason have a most wonderful day. Kind regards, fsw. Also on instagram @ fredsimcha018
Dutuch means Germans ?
At minute 2:05 duh.. There's "Bonjol" The Equator monument on "Pasaman" regency of West Sumatra.
But, if you're a city person, the area and surrounding are less interesting for city lovers.
It's more for nature lover.
Natural beauty of West Sumatra and the whole Sumatra, Borneo, whole Indonesia are astonishing.
the original monument is not exactly on the equator because back then the measuring technology that was used wasn't very accurate...
the real equator is actually across the monument, follow the green path out of the monument to the blue globe..
Thank you
13:13 yes, traditional meeting house for traditional ceremonia events of the "Dayak" tribe.
In fact every tribe in Indonesia has such building.
Why don't you try visit "Taman Mini" in Jakarta.
It's mini version of Indonesia, a little clue about Indonesian provinces and islands was built in late 1960's and one of my favourite places in Jakarta since I was born.
Here's funny vlog at TMII

@@janepercia6550 ☺️☺️☺️
First time there was late 90s for me, I don't think they had seen to many Westerns at that time, they were queuing to have a photo with me.LOL. Friendly people but you need to be more careful walking back to your hotel by yourself at night, that was very dangerous thing to do in that part of the world especially for a western.
11:11 LOL poor her.. your sarcasm
Interesting place that I had not heard of before. May I ask which camera you film with?

Hi Cessnagbdso. I'm off to Pontianak end December 2019. How do I contact the lady who drove you around? Thank you.
Mizzie hi, the hotel Santika organised the taxi for me. So if you’re staying there, I suggest you ask them. Have a great time in Pontianak.
Thank you for your prompt reply. I'll be staying at Aston so I'll get them to book one for me then. Looking forward to more of your travel videos.

dude remember me?
Did I meet you there?
In Philippines tianak means a witch or devil woman
In Indonesian mythology it’s called Kuntilanak. In Malay it’s called Pontianak, and that’s actually what the city is named after (because Pontianak is a Malay Sultanate territory).
Haha
"PON T ARN A" is how you say it.
Wish I had known that before!
A Christian cathedral in Borneo "Who'd have thought it?" Well, anyone who wasn't completely ignorant is the answer to that.
Hi i am from west borneo. Maybe i can explain a little bit. Most of the native borneo are the dayak people most are Catholic. They are converted by the Ducth missionaries during the Ducth colonial era. This Cathedral was build not long ago to replace the old catedral building by the local governor which is also a dayak.
Btw, the best from Pontianak is the culinary, one of the kind. 😁
Home of the best kratom. Borneo is.
Did he say “he’s my driver “ lol
