Highlights
  • Christ Blessing - The Jesus Bless Monument, commonly known as Jesus Bless (in Manado Language: Jesus Kase Blessing), is a statue of Jesus Christ situated in Manado, Indonesia. The statue reaches a height of 50 meters (158 feet), with a 20-meter support and the statue itself standing 30 meters tall. Constructed from 25 tons of metal fiber and 35 tons of steel, it is located atop the Citraland Manado housing complex. This statue has become a new symbol of Manado city and, in 2010, was the 2nd tallest statue in Asia and the 4th tallest statue of Jesus in the world (excluding the pedestal).
  • Mount Mahawu - Mount Mahawu is a stratovolcano located east of the Mount Lokon-Gunung Empung volcano in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. From a distance, Manado Tua Island and the surrounding islands appear to float in the vast Sulawesi Sea. Mount Mahawu has a crater 180 meters wide and 140 meters deep, with two pyroclastic cones on its northern slope, and it rises to 1,311 meters above sea level.

The Minahasa people named the mountain Mahawu because it frequently emits ash. It is also known as Mount Roemengas. The mountain experienced a minor eruption in 1789 and had fumarole mud eruptions and geyser activity along its greenish crater lake in 1994 and 1999. Although it is no longer active, the smell of sulfur is still noticeable. The crater lake has shrunk as some of its edges have dried up.

  • Narwastu Hills - Narwastu Hills is a new tourist attraction in Tomohon City, North Sulawesi, gaining popularity among young people. This recently opened site has quickly become a favorite for Tomohon residents, especially those who enjoy taking Instagram-worthy photos. Visitors from outside the city also come to witness the beautiful sunset from Wawo Peak.
  • Extreme Traditional Market Tomohon - The Tomohon City Faith Market, known for selling various unconventional animal meats, is an extreme market. The market offers meats such as cats, dogs, forest mice, bats, and snakes. Most of the meat is grilled, except for the python, which is sold as raw pieces.
  • Mahwatu wisata Tomohon - Paletupan Mahwatu in Lahendong is an alternative tourist destination for those looking for a change from the usual Manado attractions. Located in South Tomohon, Tomohon City, North Sulawesi, it takes about an hour to reach Paletupan Mahwatu from the center of Manado City.
  • Tomohon - Tomohon has been mentioned in several historical records, including the ethnographic work of Rev. N. Graafland, who wrote about visiting Tomohon around 1850. The name Tomohon is derived from the Tombulu language (Tou mu ‘ung), and the area is part of the Tombulu ethnic group, one of the eight Minahasa ethnic groups. Over the years, Tomohon has developed into one of the capital cities of the Minahasa Regency.

In the early 2000s, the people of Minahasa Regency expressed a desire for regional expansion. The reformation and regional autonomy policies accelerated the process, leading to the formation of South Minahasa Regency, Tomohon City, and North Minahasa Regency, supported by the Provincial Government of North Sulawesi. The Central Government established South Minahasa Regency and Tomohon City through Law Number 10 of 2003 and North Minahasa Regency through Law Number 33 of 2003.

Following the 2004 General Election, the Tomohon City legislative body enacted Tomohon City Regulation Number 22 of 2005 concerning Regional Symbols and Tomohon City Regional Regulation Number 29 of 2005 concerning the Tomohon City Anniversary. Tomohon City was officially inaugurated on August 4, 2003, by the Minister of Home Affairs Hari Sabarno on behalf of the President of Indonesia.

  • Manado - According to legend, the city of Manado originated from “Wanua Wenang,” founded by Ruru Ares, also known as Dotulolong Lasut, in the 13th century. Another version suggests that Manado developed from a place called Pogidon. The name “Manado” began to be used in 1623, replacing “Pogidon” or “Wenang.” The name comes from the Minahasa language, meaning “far away.” By the 16th century, Manado was known to Europeans for its natural resources.

In 1919, the Dutch East Indies Governor General designated Manado Gewest as a Staatsgemeente, with a Gemeente Council headed by a Mayor. In 1951, it became the Manado City Region of Minahasa, and in 1953, it was renamed the City of Manado. In 1957, Manado became a Township, and in 1959, it was designated as a Level II Region. In 1965, it became the Municipality of Manado, led by the Manado Mayor KDH Level II, as per Law Number 18 of 1965, later refined by Law Number 5 of 1974.

Manado’s anniversary, set on July 14, 1623, commemorates three historic events: the Red and White event of February 14, 1946, the Governor General’s Besluit of July 1919, and the year 1623 when Manado was first officially recognized. The city celebrated its 367th anniversary on July 14, 1989, and continues to mark this date annually.
