Kendari, Provincial capital in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Kendari spans across 270 square kilometers along Kendari Bay, featuring districts such as Mandonga, Wua-Wua, and Kadia at two meters above sea level.
Dutch explorers first mapped Kendari Bay in 1831, establishing a settlement that later developed into a Japanese naval base during World War II.
The population of 351,085 residents includes Makassarese and Buginese communities, who maintain traditions in gold crafting, weaving, and woodworking.
The city functions as a transportation center with an airport and seaport, connecting various regions through a principal road network to Kolaka.
Local artisans, particularly of Chinese descent, specialize in producing intricate gold and silver filigree ornaments, contributing to regional trade.
