The Bukittinggi City Government plans to make the railway station, Lambuang Station, the largest culinary center in West Sumatra.

The construction land area reaches 2.1 hectares, with a budget of IDR 17.1 billion originating from the Bukittinggi City Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) for 2022 and 2023.

The construction of the largest culinary center in West Sumatra is targeted for completion and can be occupied by traders by December 2023.

There are at least more than 2,500 varieties of culinary specialties from West Sumatra that will make Lambung Station the largest culinary center.
