Bitung, Port city in North Sulawesi, Indonesia
Bitung stretches along the northeastern coast of Sulawesi island, encompassing both mainland territory at the base of Mount Duasudara and Lembeh Island.
The transformation of Bitung from a small fishing village to an administrative city occurred in 1975, followed by its official designation as a municipality in 1990.
The population combines Sangir, Minahasan, Javanese, and Tionghoa communities, with Christianity and Islam as primary religions, while residents communicate in Manado and Sangir languages.
The Manado-Bitung toll road connects the two main cities of North Sulawesi, reducing travel time and supporting the transportation of goods through the deep-sea port.
Lembeh Strait waters next to Bitung contain specific marine species, making this location a destination for underwater photography and marine research.
