Manado, has a reputation for spectacular beauty. Three volcanoes tower over the city, and much of the surrounding area has been set aside for a nature reserve, including the crystal-clear waters of Bunaken Island, off the north coast of Manado.

Bunaken National Marine Park was formally established in 1991 and is among the first of Indonesia's growing system of marine parks. The park covers a total surface area of 89,065 hectares, 97% of which is overlain by sparkling clear, warm tropical water. The remaining 3% of the park is terrestrial, including the five islands of Bunaken, Manado Tua, Mantehage, Nain and Siladen. Although each of these islands has a special character, it is the aquatic ecosystem that attracts most naturalists.

Gorontalo, the city is quite pretty, clean and very friendly with beautiful old colonial buildings. Gorontalo extending from hilly area to lower ground on which volcanoes stand is very fertile and generous. The agricultural crops that include corn, rice, coconut and dry season crops are very abundant. The sea is very rich and generous.

Togian Islands, located in the heart of the Tomini Gulf. Reachable from Ampana or Gorontalo. To get really off the beaten trek hop on one of the boat & ferry ship running between Ampana and Gorontalo with stops on the way at the islands Bomba, wakai, Ketupat and Dolong The Togian Islands are also unusual in being surrounded by all major types of coral reef environments.

Lake Poso, Tentena, according to the legend Lake Poso is the pivot around which heaven and earth revolve. Indeed, located dead in the center of Sulawesi, the lake appears to be the force around which the pinwheel arms of Sulawesi turn. Rich in history and local legend, this area is fun to explore. Lake Poso, 37 kilometres long and 13 kilometres wide, offers rainforests, love and coffee plantations, and villages connected by lush green rice fields.

LORE LINDU NATIONAL PARK
Comprises an area of 217,991 ha in Central Sulawesi. It’s isolation, cool, high altitude seclusion and spectacular vistas of untouched mountain ranges swathed in the dark green of virgin rain forest make it one of Indonesia best trekking site. Megalithic stones, traditional culture, and a unique mix of flora and fauna all add to its wealth.
Lore Lindu National Park encloses the valleys of Bada, Besoa and Napu, which are the most visited areas inside the park. The valleys are also visited by tourist interested in Indonesian history. They visit the various archeologic site where megaliths can be found.
THE MEGALITHS OF LORE LINDU
Megalithic statues that are hundreds, if not thousands of years old, dot Bada Valley, Besoa and Napu are considered to be the finest stone monuments of their type in Indonesia. The origin of these massive, well-worked, yet elegantly simple, granite carvings has been lost over time as they pre-date the existing ethnic groups found around the park. Various archaeological studies date them as early 3.000 BC or as recently as 1.300 AD. They are believed to relate to ancestor worship. The tallest megalith stands at a height of over 4 meters, but most are 1,5 – 2,5 meters tall.
CULTURE
There are seven closely related ethnic groups living in and around the park.
A century ago these people lived in small warring clans practicing shifting agriculture. Today, they have a settled village life farming rice in the valleys around the park. These communities use the forest as a source of resources for trade and cash, but do not have any cultural or spiritual attachment to it. The majority of the indigenous people around the park is Christian and has been under missionary influence since the turn of the century. Traditional bark cloth called Kain Kulit Kayu is still made in the Bada Kulawi Valleys. Music played on bamboo instruments, and traditional dances are a part of wedding ceremonies and other important celebrations in most of the valley.

Qinghai Lake, The Beautiful Lakes in China

Qinghai Lake
Facing each other, the two islands are also called "Bird Islands" because of the large number of birds residing on them. The most charming islands in the lake are the Egg Island and the Haixipi Island, both lying in the northwest of the lake, not very far from the oasis of Buh River, the largest of its kind, whose water empties into the lake. During the Tang Dynasty that followed, the Sun and Moon Mountain became a place for horse and tea trading and the horses thus bought were enlisted in the cavalry. During the Sui Dynasty(581-618), people cross-bred the horse here with Kazak and Fergana horses to develop a unique breed known as the Qinghai horse, which was most popular for fighting wars. The "Qin horses" raised locally were known for their strong bodies and fast speed as long as 2,000 0r more years ago during the Warring States Period(220-280).

Around this island can be easily found groupers, jellyfish, snappers and some small reef fish. Unfortunately, due to the impact of blast fishing, coral reefs in the surrounding so many have died. However, in the back of the island, there are still a few surviving corals.

The Jetty of Tanjung Piai (Cape)

The Jetty of Tanjung Piai trail is around 300-400 meter long. When we started the trail not too far from the main entrance, we saw a group of Nature and Wildlife Photographers setting up their gear and waiting to shoot on the Eagles around Tanjung Piai.

We were impressed by the Telephoto Lens they use...

After passing them, we met another group of peoples fishing along the pathway. What they caught for that day were mostly catfish....with one Blue Spotted Ribbontail Stingray (more than 1KG weight). I will blog about it after this post.

I love the walk to the Jetty, it's relax and especially cool sea breeze...we really enjoyed it!
We passed by the swamp area and noticed that the mangrove trees were planted nicely on it...
