Silversmiths occupy several old Dutch houses of Koto Gadang, 5km from Bukittinggi (an angkot costs 3000Rp). Alternatively, it’s an hour’s walk from Taman Panorama. Silver Work (Jln Sawahan 1) by Weli Syar Mak Wan is particularly worth seeking out for his intricate, fine models of traditional houses, delicate rings and more.
