About this place
Singkawang is a multicultural trading city on the west coast of West Kalimantan, roughly halfway between Pontianak and the Malaysian border. Known as "The City of One Thousand Temples" and home to a large Hakka Chinese community, it offers a relaxed, hospitable atmosphere that reflects its diverse heritage.
Recognized as one of Indonesia's cleanest cities, Singkawang pairs its cultural landmarks with a lively local food scene. The compact center is easy to explore, and the city serves as a convenient stop on overland routes connecting Pontianak, Sambas, and Kuching in Sarawak.

Planning Tips
- Overland logistics — pre-arranged shared taxis (travel) are the standard way to move between Pontianak, Singkawang, and Sambas; book through your accommodation or a local agent.
- Crossing into Malaysia — a direct bus to Kuching departs from Singkawang Grand Mall at 6am; flying to Kuching first can be a practical alternative for entering overland.
- Packing for the tropics — expect frequent downpours and constant humidity; lightweight quick-dry clothing, a sturdy rain jacket, and waterproof footwear are essential.
- Eating around the clock — Pasar Hongkong is a good hub for cheap local dishes from morning until late; try Hakka-style choi pan dumplings and rujak ju hie.
