also so many tourist places which are visited by foreign tourists and also
local. One of them is Ladder 2000 located in the Village Pohe, South City
District, and Gorontalo. Stairs 2000 was already so much to know because it is
already quite long, because it has a panoramic and extraordinary beauty
beautiful.
Now
Stairs 2000 has had an increasingly crowded visitors related to local
government projects in the development of the tourist site. Stairs 2000 has its
own charm as a tourist attraction. In addition to enjoying the scenery that is
very exotic, especially if it came at dusk, visitors will also be treated with
a variety of foods, such as Milu Bakar (Corn), Sate Tuna, and Ilabulo.

Gorontalo, visitors can enjoy the view of the ladder in 2000 and thatched
fisherman who would go to sea at dusk. Visitors will also be treated to a view
of the large ships that rely on the Port Gorontalo.
It
is unfortunate, though it has become one of the tourist icons in Gorontalo,
until now the Stairs 2000 seemed not managed professionally. As a result,
tourists who come to the place it has not been able to enjoy optimal view of
beauty. In the vicinity of the beach is a still visible pile of garbage
crashing of the waves.
Shores
of the coast, especially in puppies’ stairs lot of rubbish such as food scraps
scattered. It is certainly detract from the beauty of the beach. If this is not
observed, it is certain attraction will fade charm Stairs 2000.

in 2000 seemed to be the attractions are losing the attention of the
government. And with regional autonomy, each municipality has the authority to
manage their potentials. Local government can embrace the private sector is
ready to become an investor to manage and develop Appliances 2000. If Stairs
2000 are properly managed, in turn, will contribute to development in the city

the southern part of Lake Limboto, and about 2 kilometers from the Archaeological
Park Otanaha Fortress. Route public transportation that crosses the site is
subject to the District Batudaa Gorontalo city, and vice versa.
Initially,
the museum building is a house built during the Dutch colonial master Gorontalo
with a size of 5 x 15 meters, and is expected to be built in 1936.
Once
upon a time, Sukarno never set foot on Earth Gorontalo in 1950 and 1956.
Sukarno came to Gorontalo through the air to land on the lake Limboto. First
arrival, he uses amphibious plane. Then, upon arrival both in 1956 he wore the Catalina’s.
Sukarno came with his aide with a pilot named Wiweko Supono. At that time,
Amphibious aircraft can still land and dock at Lake Limboto because when the
water flow is still possible that the white sand beaches.
According
to historian Gorontalo, BJ Mahdang, said that the arrival of Sukarno to
Gorontalo time was to carry out inspections to ensure that the Gorontalo still
faithful to the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). In those years, Indonesia was
plagued by rebellion. The separatists People's Struggle (Permesta) resonates in
North Sulawesi. Soekarno just want to make sure, when it does not happen a
split in Gorontalo although there are some groups or councils who want to
secede from the NKRI. Departing from the story, building a small house on the
shore of Lake Limboto was designated a Cultural Heritage / Holiday Home
Soekarno landings by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and Archaeological
Heritage Preservation Hall Gorontalo. The house to witness the arrival of
Sukarno in Gorontalo. Subsequently, on June 29, 2002 the house was renovated
and inaugurated by President fifth, Megawati Soekarno Putri, as a museum.

morale as listed in the NKRI nameplate museum. In this museum, you will be
invited to briefly go back to the past to observe a variety of documentation
coming of the first President Ir. Sukarno to Gorontalo at that time, also in
the museum is housed antiquities and historic. Because the museum is located
right on the banks of Lake Limboto which has a natural beauty that is cool and
calm, so it may as well enjoy the beautiful scenery while fishing at the
lakeside lodges that have been provided. Once we do guiding in this museum, we
are getting ready to go to the next attraction is the Tower of Greatness
Limboto.
5. Greatness Limboto Tower and Mosque Baiturrahman
At
15:55 pm we arrived at the Tower of Greatness Limboto and Baiturrahman Mosque.
Gorontalo was, of course, can be proud Charm travel, a triumph monument stood
since 2004, standing erect towering into the sky at a height of nearly 100
meters, that is the Tower of Greatness Limboto, towers symbolizing majesty, the
glory, and the success of Gorontalo province, in building a life nation and
Air statesman. The tower is made of a complete range of iron and
steel is part of history, that is not the city of Gorontalo old and die. The
majesty of the tower, symbolizing the triumph of loving. into space towering buildings,
withstand the sting of the sun, the cold rain and strong stem the moist,
Gorontalo philosophy is to continue to grow, continue to survive despite the
continuing global strength of whack and crush increasingly become a problem,
Gorontalo remain there until whenever.
It
also symbolizes the high spirit of the people of Gorontalo to build, provide
and preserve the culture of Gorontalo, as part of the nation's heritage. With
the presence of this building, no longer cover the eyes of the world that is not
a small area Gorontalo unable to do the best for the country, not a country of
losers who will not obey the law. Local knowledge is Kenta with the teachings
of Islam was reflected in this building pharmaceutics, more so this building
stands beside the historic mosque, Mosque Baiturrahman Limboto, a large mosque
in the district of Gorontalo.
Tower
of Glory, of course, is not the building of dying out like a statue standing in
the city, but also the economic value for local residents. Miniature Eifel, has
four floors, the view of the city allows travelers Limboto Gorontalo district,
where terms with serenity. Even on the height of the tower, visitors can
observe and see the building away Botu Region (Government Office Location
Gorontalo province), until nature painting Limboto Lake and faces the city of
Gorontalo. Of course, we can say, anyone who took the time to Limboto Tower
will be amazed; because this is the only tower in Sulawesi in Indonesia valued
even businesses in tourism. After performing guiding in this place, we went
straight to the tourist attractions of the last without using the car again,
Because of its location so close to the Tower of Greatness Limboto. Travel we
were to visit as a tourist spot that last one is the traditional house Gorontalo
(Bantayo Poboide).
6. Traditional House Gorontalo (Bantayo Poboide)
At
17.WIB we get to the last tour and conduct more joint guiding their respective
groups.
The
existence of the traditional house or often called Bantayo Poboide in Gorontalo
Regency was built by Colonel A.U MI Liputo as tauwa lo lahuwa which was
inaugurated on 23 Robiul 1405 Hijriah or January 15, 1985 became the pride of
the people of Gorontalo.
The
traditional house is a symbol of pride of an area that needs to be maintained
and preserved. Even if necessary, become a source of tourist attraction which
could boost local revenue. Similarly Bantayo Poboide in Limboto, Gorontalo
district needs to be polished in order to restore to its original level.
Construction of custom house itself is said to serve as a gathering place for
elders to discuss a traditional procession. One cultural Gorontalo Hamzah Irwan
said, the custom house for Gorontalo generally the same although the names in
each region is different, but that is obviously a function of the traditional
house all same. However unfortunate this time the custom house lived a building
that looks deserted and only save some custom equipment as well as objects of
history, and no traditional procession activities undertaken at the site. So
expect the government to fix the custom homes and custom homes can make these
functions back to its original level.
Although
the current government still maintains the existence of the custom house, but
it is expected in terms of the government's efforts to introduce more and make
this traditional house as one of the locations where traditional performances
so exciting excursions. After doing the guiding, we were close guiding us in
this place, and then all students regrouped to take a picture in front of the
traditional house Gorontalo (Bantayo Poboide).
At
17.30 pm we were all students and lecturers back to our campus and ended the
Study Tour.
