The most important thing when traveling abroad is safety. After all, no one wants an accident like the one in Sri Lanka to happen. Manado is considered the safest place in the world, with a very low crime rate. How safe is it? Only one policeman can manage four islands with more than 15,000 people. The local police get off work at three o'clock!

Why is Manado so safe? Why is it so high? I believe it has something to do with the common beliefs of the locals - among the 300,000 people in the capital, as many as 65% of the residents believe in Christianity. Christianity always encourages people to do good, so it is not surprising that the residents are kind and tolerant.

Influenced by faith culture, Sulawesi has nearly 1,500 churches, one can be seen every 100 meters, so it is also known as "Little Jerusalem". Manado also has the second largest statue of Christ in the world, second only to the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

When you come to Manado, you might as well come to the Century Christian Church to listen to mass and choir. This church was built in the 17th century and is the earliest church building in Manado. After the artillery fire of World War I and World War II, it still stands and shines on the world. The red-roofed church is not as majestic as the European churches. The stained glass depicting Jesus is inlaid in the front of the church facing the world. Its friendly and kind appearance attracts people to do good all the time. How about traveling to Manado?
