A Peaceful Atmosphere in the Park Located at Sabang Fair // Corners of Weh Island City: Part 2
If in the previous blog I invited you to take a brief look at the Sabang Fair area, then this time I want to invite you all to go a little deeper, specifically to a park which is also located in that area too.
Good evening to all my friends, wherever you may be. I hope you are all healthy and happy, allowing you to go about your daily activities smoothly, and I wish you all a wonderful day.
In this blog post, I would like to invite you to take a look and get a feel for the garden area within the Sabang Fair complex through the photos I am sharing.
So, please stay tuned to this simple post to see the images of the location and read a brief write-up from me.
As I mentioned in my previous post, the wide asphalt road in this area is flanked on both sides by tall, shady pine trees; furthermore, the Sabang Fair area is not actually a beach but rather an open field—a hub for activities and the first gateway one encounters before exploring the town center of Weh Island.
This time, I will be exploring the park located within that area.
Now, let us delve deeper into the area. What immediately caught my eye was a towering monument—shaped like a trumpet or a torch spiraling upwards—bearing Arabic inscriptions that signified its status as a sacred memorial. To be honest, I stood there for quite some time, simply gazing at and admiring the form of the monument, which still exuded a palpable sense of dignity.
My friends...
This monument serves as the focal point of the park I am exploring; all the pathways seem to lead toward it. Surrounding the monument is a wall featuring bands of black, yellow, and red—colors now partially covered in moss, a natural sign of its age.
All the pathways in the park lead to the iconic monument I shared photos of earlier.
My friends...
Now, let’s explore the area of the park I like best. It features a circular paved walkway with a painted map of Indonesia in the center. Unfortunately, since I only had my mobile phone with me, I couldn't capture a detailed shot of the map beneath my feet. Surrounding the path, Indian almond and pine trees grow neatly, providing cool shade; the scorching heat of the day seems to vanish here. There are no street vendors or loud music—just a place that offers and delivers a sense of tranquility.
As for facilities, the area is well-equipped, featuring a prayer room, restrooms, and standard amenities found in public spaces.
Here are some photos I took showing the vastness of the park. There are numerous garden beds separated by paved paths; I imagine each bed once held different types of flowers, though now the empty soil is covered in sparse grass. Nevertheless, the pathways remain sturdy, and the trees stand in neat, well-maintained rows, seemingly waiting for visitors to arrive.
It is difficult to put into words the tranquil atmosphere of this park, but I personally believe it is a must-visit spot if you ever vacation on Weh Island. Based on my own experience exploring the park alone, there was no entrance fee and no staff on duty; it was just the trees, the iconic monument, and a very quiet, peaceful ambiance.
Alright, friends—that wraps up the photos and brief write-up for this post about one of the places I visited. If you are vacationing on Weh Island and focusing solely on the beautiful beaches or the famous "Kilometer Zero" monument, I suggest setting aside about 30 minutes to stop by the Sabang Fair area. Visit on a quiet weekday afternoon, and you will experience a sense of peace and tranquility—and perhaps find a story worth sharing.
Personally, I feel that while this park might not be perfectly manicured, it retains its soul; I am convinced that every corner of Sabang City has a story to tell.
Thank you to everyone who followed my journey through this corner of Weh Island in this post, and a huge thank you to those who took the time to view and read my blog all the way through.
Please leave your comments, words of support, or feedback—it means a lot to me and helps me create better content in the future. See you in the next post!
