We were so lucky that there was no rain when we visited the Stadion Kridasana the venue of the Chinese New Year or Tahun Baru Imlek celebration as the the Indonesians call it. It was always wet and drizzling when we visited it the past couple of years.stadium, Rumah Hakka, Tulou, culture, Chinese New Year, Indonesia, West Kalimantan, Kota Singkawang, Tourism, travel guide, Trans Border, Borneo, 婆罗洲西加里曼丹, 印尼农历新年, 山口洋客家土楼, Stadion Kridasana, stadium, budaya, Chinese New Year, festival, destination, TiongHoa, Indonesia, Kelurahan Pasiran, Tourist attraction, travel guide, Trans Borneo, 跨境婆罗洲游踪, 印尼西加里曼丹, 山口洋农历新年 Stadion, budaya, Tahun Baru Imlek, destination, TiongHoa, Indonesia, West Kalimantan, Obyek wisata, Travel guide, Trans Border, Borneo, 穿越婆罗洲游踪, 印尼西加里曼丹, 山口洋农历新年 Stadion Kridasana, stadium, Chinese New Year, festival, Tahun Baru Imlek, Kelurahan Pasiran, Tourism, travel guide, Trans Borneo Stadion Kridasana, culture, Chinese New Year, festival, backpackers, destination, Indonesia, Kalimantan Barat, Tourism, tourist attraction, travel guide, Trans Borneo,

Drawing activity for the kids

The crowd was mostly found taking photos at the mock ‘Tulou’ 土楼, a very unique circular residential structure invented by the Hakka people in olden day China to protect themselves from enemies and earthquakes. Kudos to the Singkawang team for putting up such a nice setup.Stadion Kridasana, stadium, budaya, culture, Chinese New Year, Tahun Baru Imlek, Ethnic, TiongHoa, Tourism, travel guide, Cross Border, Borneo, 探索婆罗洲游踪, 印尼西加里曼丹, 山口洋客家人土楼 Stadion Kridasana, budaya, culture, Chinese New Year, Tahun Baru Imlek, TiongHoa, Indonesia, West Kalimantan, Kota Singkawang, Tourism, travel guide, Borneo, 探索婆罗洲游踪, 印尼西加里曼丹, 山口洋客家土楼

So guys, make a date with Singkawang. The drive to Singkawang through Biawak in Lundu and Sambas is very much shorter now, under 5 hours. Road condition is good. (Click here on our Trans Kalimantan drive post) Do include snorkeling in Lemukutan island as well when you do visit.
