---

Jam Gadang clock tower is considered an icon of Bukittinggi and the city's main tourist attraction. Built in 1926, during the Dutch colonial era it was a gift from Queen Wilhelmina to the city's controleur. The four clocks were made in Rotterdam, Netherlands. This beautiful image of the Jam Gadang depicts the traditional horse-drawn carriages known as Bendi which transport tourists or local people around the city at the base of the clock tower waiting for business.
