Tugu Khatulistiwa



From Java Island, let's jump to Borneo. In West Kalimantan, Pontianak City precisely, there is one tourist spot that is very often visited by tourists, especially on the weekend, the Tugu Khatulistiwa. The monument is located exactly on the Equator Street was built as a marker of zero degrees latitude of the earth. Every March 21-23 and September 21-23, the Equator monument is the site of the Sun's Cultivation Day celebration. The culmination point is the point when the sun's position is exactly above the equator. As this event progresses, the shadow of the object will disappear for a few seconds. This event has always been an exciting entertainment for residents and tourists who happened to visit on that day. Another interesting thing that you can get after visiting this monument is a proof of equator crossing crossing. In the charter will be listed the name and time when visitors crossed the equator. Well, it's unique, yes.
