A hilltop viewpoint and paragliding launch site beside the town of Painan, overlooking Painan Bay and Carocok Beach.
Bukit Langkisau lies near Painan, the capital of South Coast Regency, about 75 kilometers from Padang. Cars can drive to the top, where the wide viewpoint overlooks Painan Bay, Carocok Beach, and Cingkuak Island.
