Singkawang Hakka Town & Lemukutan Island
Head north from Pontianak to Singkawang to explore temples and old streets, stay at Pasir Panjang, and go snorkeling on the island.
After landing in Pontianak, head north along the coastal road, passing the Equator Monument, to Singkawang to explore temples, old streets, and enjoy Hakka snacks. On the second day, visit dragon kilns and ancestral homes before staying at Pasir Panjang Beach, then take a boat from Teluk Suak Pier to spend a night on Lemukutan Island. The schedule is compact but driving times are short. Accommodations are highly sought after during the Cap Go Meh festival, so this route does not include the festival; it is perfect for a short weekend trip and travelers interested in Chinese-Indonesian culture.
The west wind season from December to February brings rough waves, and boats to the island may be suspended; booking accommodation well in advance is required for the Cap Go Meh festival.
