Discover the culture and history of Monado — the provincial capital of North Sulawesi — on this city tour.
Monado is located on an eponymous bay and is surrounded by mountains. A traditional war dance of the Minahasa region welcomes you as you board your coach.
You'll drive into the heart of Chinatown to visit the Ban Hin Kiong Temple — one of the oldest Chinese temples built during the Qing Dynasty. This red temple is elegant and attractive and is covered with ornaments on every side.
Head towards the central city and visit the Paroki Hati Kudus Catholic Church.
Take in the scenic views and enjoy a traditional Indonesian lunch at a local restaurant.
En route back to your ship, pause at the Monument of Christ's Blessing — one of the tallest monuments in Asia and the fourth-tallest statue of Christ in the world.
