Rumah Radakng
Touted as the largest replica Dayak longhouse in Indonesia, measuring about 138 metres long, and a window into Dayak culture.
Rumah Radakng was completed in 2013, modelled on the traditional Dayak longhouse (betang) of West Kalimantan. It is about 138 metres long and 7 metres high. The timber stilt house is entered by climbing a notched log ladder, and its interior is one continuous gallery with partitioned rooms, reflecting the Dayak way of life in which many families live together under one roof. It is usually used as a cultural venue and occasionally has craft stalls for sale. Every May, during the Dayak harvest festival Gawai Dayak, it hosts dancing, rituals and markets, and is at its liveliest. Entry is free. It is on Jalan Dr. Sutomo in the western part of the city, and the Malay traditional house is nearby, so you can visit both on the same route.
