Tourist Destination

Losari Beach and Monas

One of the tourist destinations in Sulawesi Island is Losari Beach. Losari Beach is the icon of Makassar City. It is located in Penghibur Street in the heart of Makassar City, South Sulawesi. Before known as Losari, resident called this beach as Fish Market. You can find many characteristic Makassar foods like pisang epek, coto makassar, conro soup, and palu butung. But now, those small shops had been relocated into nearby place. This step was taken by the local government so the beach will stay clean and comfortable.

We can enjoy the beauty of sunset and sunrise from this beach. While waiting for it, we can try various fresh sea foods, like lobster, calamari, stingray fish with affordable price. You can also use the internet facility while eating or waiting for sunset or sunrise. This beach is really unique because it doesn't have sand. Also it's prohibition to swim in this beach because the water is really deep. But we can still enjoy the beauty of this beach by using boats.

We don't have to pay any tickets to enter Losari Beach unless you have to pay for your vehicles.

Monas is one of the popular tourist destination. Monas is a National Monument in Jakarta. Monas is a tall white building with 132 meters with a big fire statue on top of it. The statue of fire symbolizes a spirit of soldiers who fought colonies for Indonesia. The fire statue can glow in the night, so it might more beautiful if we see it in the night.

Monas was created by R.M. Soedarsono and Frederich Silaban. It took 14 years to build it. Monas opens from 6 a.m until 10 p.m. Yo can enjoy some Dioramas and view from Jakarta from the top of the building. Dioramas are kind of miniature of some specific events (ex: war, Soekarno's speech etc). The ticket for entering Monas is only Rp 5.000,00.
