Lonely Planet review for Jam Gadang
Jam Gadang is Bukittinggi's Big Ben and is the centre of the city's provincial activities: schoolchildren crowding under shade trees and day-trippers smiling for photo opportunities. The tower was built in the 1920s to house the Dutch queen's clock gift. After independence, the European homage was refitted with a Minangkabau roof.
