Lawang Kuwari

If you are a history enthusiast, come to Lawang Kuwari. Here, the history of Sekadau begins. However, if you are an ordinary traveler, enjoy the various beauties offered. For example, the view of the Kapuas River. How the longest river in Indonesia carries endless water flow to the open ocean in Pontianak. Motorboats, rowboats, and barges pass by in succession. The chirping of air birds, the song of swallows, and forest insects can still be heard.

Sekadau Regency is also rich in historical tourism, including Lawang Kuari. This historical tourism object is unique because to reach it, you have to cross the Kapuas River first using a speed boat. We can enjoy maritime views while traversing the Kapuas River with its tidal waves. An incomparable pleasure. In the era of the Sekadau Kingdom, Lawang Kuwari was used by Prince Agong for hiding and meditation.

The charm of the historical tourist destination Lawang Kuwari today.

Lawang Kuwari is one of the flagship historical tourist attractions in Sekadau. "We intentionally built it in such a way that people get to know Sekadau from this place. In addition to being a living museum, Lawang Kuwari is a representation of the history of Sekadau in the past," explained Paulus Misi, who was the Head of the Department of Culture and Tourism (Disbudpar) of Sekadau Regency, who sincerely and wholeheartedly built this area.

Now in the era of Aron as the Regent of Sekadau, the name "Lawang Kuwari" has come to the forefront again. It has even become a kind of icon. At the same time, it signifies that the land of Lawang Kuwari is the Sekadau of the past. The terminal, the traditional market, the fountain, and even public places are named after "Lawang Kuwari."
