Manado, Indonesia.
Manado is known as one of the world's diving paradises. Here, you can see many sea turtles, octopuses, sharks, and coral reefs. Manado, also known as "Manado," is the capital of North Sulawesi Province in Indonesia. It is located at the northern tip of Sulawesi Island, facing the Sulawesi Sea, and surrounded by mountains. It is famous for its beautiful scenery of "half volcano, half sea." It is also the filming location for the female lead's heartbreak healing in "The Ex-File 3: The Return of the Exes," Bunaken, Siladen, and the third largest Jesus statue in the world.
🚗 It is called the "God's Fish Tank" for a reason, as it is certified as one of the world's best diving spots by the "World's Top Five Diving Organizations." The underwater cliff is truly breathtaking.
🚗 Besides "diving," "city | island | exploration tours," each activity is tailor-made for vacation, and they are all very fun.

Sacred Serenity: A Scenic Journey to Manado’s Iconic Jesus Monument
Last September, I had the chance to visit Monumen Yesus Memberkati in Manado, traveling there by rented car. The monument itself is impressive, with the statue of Jesus standing tall, symbolizing peace and blessing over the city. The surrounding area is very serene, giving a sense of tranquility.
What made the trip even more memorable was the view. From the monument, you can see a beautiful church nearby, adding a spiritual touch to the landscape. Beyond that, the majestic mountains create a breathtaking backdrop, especially on a clear day when you can see the peaks stretching into the sky. It’s a fantastic spot for photography and to just take in the natural beauty around.
The drive up to the monument was smooth, and having a car made it easier to explore at my own pace. I highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Manado who appreciates both spiritual sites and nature. It’s a peaceful retreat with an inspiring view of both the mountains and the city below.
