Payakumbuh, Administrative center in West Sumatra, Indonesia.
The second largest city in West Sumatra province sits at 520 meters elevation, surrounded by Mount Singgalang and Mount Malintang valleys.
In 1840, Dutch colonials constructed the Jembatan Ratapan Ibu stone bridge, connecting Nagari Aie Tabik to central Payakumbuh during their regional control.
The city preserves Randai performances, a traditional Minangkabau art form combining martial arts, dance, and music with Talempong and Saluang instruments.
The city maintains connections to Padang and Pekanbhu through road networks, while local transportation includes the Sago transit system and horse-drawn bendi carts.
Local residents organize flying duck races and produce regional specialties including batiah sweet rice cookies, gelamai coconut snacks, and rendang dishes.
