Sanggau, Administrative regency in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Sanggau is a regency in West Kalimantan spanning a large territory divided into fifteen administrative districts. The region is shaped by river networks and vegetation that characterize the landscape and daily life of its people.

Sanggau developed from a small trading port connecting islands across the Indonesian archipelago. Over time, the region evolved into an established administrative division within modern Indonesia.

Sanggau is shaped by Malay, Chinese, and Dayak communities who maintain their traditional practices in daily life. In villages and at markets, you can observe how these groups continue their ancestral crafts and farming methods.

The capital city Kapuas serves as the main transportation hub connecting the regency through river routes and road networks. When exploring the different districts, expect longer travel times and water-based transport options.

The Kapuas River, one of the region's longest waterways, flows through Sanggau and shapes local life and economy. These water routes have always been vital for connecting isolated communities to the wider region.
