Langkisau Hill in the Pesisir Selatan District, West Sumatra. To reach this location, visitors can travel from the Padang City to Painan City, the capital of the Pesisir Selatan District.

Travel time from Padang to Painan about two hours, as quoted by Kompas.com, Thursday (17/01/2013). While from Painan to Langkisau Hill very close, only about 15 minutes by road. So, if you come from outside the Sumatra Island, then you can enter through the Minangkabau International Airport in the Padang City.

The journey to this hill alone is impressive. From the city center of Painan to the Langkisau Hill, travel through winding streets and shady trees on either side. Occasional shade trees invisible and appears only in the form of stunning panoramic sea far below there.

Reached the parking lot, just walk up the stairs. Just for a moment, just a few steps and I reached the top of hill at an altitude of 400 meters. Panorama near the parking lot alone is mesmerizing.

Up on the top of hill, seas and Painan City become dominant landscape. Shaped hill sloping green lawn stretching the field. As little golf on the side of a cliff.
