Bukittinggi, Administrative center in West Sumatra, Indonesia
Bukittinggi stretches across 25 square kilometers at an elevation of 930 meters, surrounded by Mount Singgalang and Mount Marapi in West Sumatra.
The city, formerly known as Fort de Kock, served as Indonesia's capital during the Emergency Government period and as the administrative center of Sumatra.
The Minangkabau people of Bukittinggi maintain a matrilineal social system and prepare traditional dishes such as Rendang and Sate Padang.
The temperature ranges from 16 to 25 degrees Celsius throughout the year, with direct bus connections available from major cities in Sumatra.
The Jam Gadang clock tower, constructed in 1926, stands in the city center as a fundamental landmark with colonial architectural elements.
