It is built directly under the 0 degrees equator line. It is 11 km from the city centre and is comparably easily and quickly reachable by public buses (Rp2,000). There you can learn lots of interesting facts about the equator and to see how unique is Pontianak, one of the few cities in the world situated exactly on the equator line. There are friendly English-speaking staff and a souvenir shop, actually maybe the only one in Pontianak.
The Equator Monument is located on the equator in Pontianak, Indonesia. It marks the division between the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The monument was built along the Kapuas River.
