Selamat Datang is a thirty-meter pedestal installed in the center of a fountain 50 meters in diameter, on which there are six-meter bronze sculptures of a man who raised his hand in welcoming gesture and a woman holding a bouquet of flowers. The monument, designed by the famous architect Edhi Sunarso, expresses the openness and friendliness of the Indonesian people. Probably for this reason, it is so popular with tourists in a hurry to take pictures with the sculpture in the background.
