Hello, Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh!

I’m Hikmah Savira Mansur, I live in Sidenreng Rappang Regency and I was born in Sidenreng Rappang too. I’m studying as sixth year student in Tarbiyah Faculty majoring in English language in this prestigious college, State Islamic Institut of Parepare (IAIN Parepare).

This time I got an English class assignment for extraordinary tourism, I really enjoyed the work because I just visited one of the beautiful traditional houses in Soppeng.

By the way, I previously also did my English for tourism assignment, which is to be a tour guide here :)

When you visit Sidrap or Soppeng, there is nothing wrong with visiting cultural tourism in Soppeng City. There, tourists can see the Sao Mario Traditional House in Awakaluku Village. Not only beautiful, travelers will also get a lot of knowledge about the unique Bugis culture.

The Sao Mario Soppeng Traditional House has a variety of unique features.

The Sao Mario Traditional House is also known as the 100-pole house or 'Bola siratue' in Bugis language. This traditional building now functions as a museum with various collections of antiques, both from within and outside the country.

Standing on an area of ​​two hectares, this tourist spot was built at the end of 1989. Its founder is Professor Andi Mustari, also known as one of the successful Bugis people in the overseas land.

The Sao Mario Traditional House is located in Manorang Salo Village, Marioriawa District, Soppeng Regency. It is about 30 kilometers from the city center and close to the Lejja hot spring tourist attraction.

The facilities in this tourist area are fairly complete. There is a large parking area, toilets, food stalls, and lodging with varied prices according to the facilities. In addition, there are a number of officers who are ready to explain the history of the establishment of the Sao Mario Traditional House to visitors.

Visitors to the Sao Mario Traditional House can not only see the typical buildings of the Bugis Tribe, but also various types of traditional houses typical of other tribes in Indonesia. In addition to the Toraja Traditional House, there are also traditional Minangkabau, Mandar and Batak-style buildings.
