INTRODUCTION
Buton is an island in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, known for its historical significance and natural resources. It was once home to the Buton Sultanate, leaving behind a rich cultural legacy, including the impressive Baubau Fortress, one of the largest in the world. The island is also known for its natural asphalt reserves and scenic landscapes, with a blend of forests, hills, and coastal views. Buton’s cultural heritage, traditional festivals, and historical sites make it an intriguing destination for visitors seeking both history and nature in a relatively off-the-beaten-path location.
Baubau is a coastal city located on Buton Island in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. It serves as a gateway to the Wakatobi archipelago, a renowned marine national park known for its stunning coral reefs and rich biodiversity.
