The beautiful island of Belitung is indeed known as the land of "rainbow irregulars". Laskar Pelangi itself is the name of a booming novel and film in Indonesia in 2008. The film, which presents the figure of Ikal and Lintang and 8 other children who later came to be called laskar pelangi, was very touching. From setting the location of the film in Belitung, the island in the Bangka-Belitung Islands Province has a trail of "rainbow irregulars" which is interesting to be explored in tourist activities.

Even though it is only a replica, the situation of SD Laskar Pelangi is made very similar to the story and told by novelist Andrea Hirata, which is full of simplicity. The elementary school, which is actually called SD Muhammadiyah Gantong, itself is also one of the filming locations of the film "Laskar Pelangi". Narrated in Gantong Muhammadiyah Elementary School, Ikal and 9 other children studied enthusiastically. Here also Muslim women teacher who in the film played by Mini Cut passionately teaches science to the children of the rainbow irregulars.

As the Capital City of Belitung Regency, the City of Tanjung Pandan cannot be separated from the life of Ikal and Laskar Pelangi. Although now it has changed a lot because of modernization, but some places still keep the story of Laskar Pelangi. One of the places that keeps the story of Laskar Pelangi is a number of coffee shops, especially Waroeng Kopi Ake. Waroeng Kopi Ake itself is the oldest coffee shop in Belitung since 1921. Here, besides being able to enjoy a cup of typical Belitung coffee, you can also reminisce about the past and the setting of the film Laskar Pelangi.
