One Fine Day Exploring Singkawang

Singkawang is located 3 hours away from Pontianak by car. Heard and read so many stories regarding Singkawang, especially the Chinese New Year celebration, where tourists are coming to Singkawang to celebrate the festival. I went there not to celebrate Chinese New Year Celebration, however I could feel the Chinese touch around the city.
