As far as the eye can see, there are expanses of green rice fields interspersed with trees that add to the unspoiled atmosphere. The vast rice fields make this area a rice granary area. The area is still green and beautiful, far from pollution and city noise. Most of the people in the Minggir area make a living in agriculture.

The condition of the area that still has a village feel has left traces of the Dutch colonial heritage. This area turns out to have several buildings which are heritage buildings of the Dutch government in Indonesia. Some of these relics are still intact as in the original form and building, but some have been destroyed. We can find these relics, especially in the villages of Sendangagung, Sendangsari, Sendangmulyo, Sendangarum, and Sendangrejo. The building consists of nine classifications, namely buildings in the form of buildings, factories, schools, baths, churches, markets, irrigation canals, clinics, and guard posts.
