Kelok 9
Kelok Sambilan
A serpentine elevated bridge on the road from West Sumatra to Riau Province, winding through jungle valleys. It is especially striking when lit up in the evening.
Kelok 9 is a winding old road through a tropical rainforest valley. The elevated bridge built in 2013 turned this stretch into a photogenic landmark. Beside the bridge are scenic parking areas and snack stalls, where you can photograph the whole curve. It is about 20 km from Harau Valley and is usually visited together with it. Traffic on the bridge is heavy, so do not stop randomly to take photos.
