Good evening, my friends, wherever you are. I hope you are all healthy and happy so you can go about your daily activities as usual. I hope you all have a pleasant day.
In this blog, I want to invite you all on a tour of Banda Aceh. A few days ago, my friends and I traveled to the city with the main goal of visiting and vacationing at several tourist destinations.
However, before visiting some of the city's tourist destinations, I took a little time to explore the area of Banda Aceh. The first thing that caught my eye was the Adipura Monument Park, located in the city center.
Therefore, in this blog, I want to invite you all to explore the Adipura Monument Park through the images I share and a short article I will write later.
Continue following my blog to see the place up close.
After traveling from Bireuen to Banda Aceh, which took almost 6 hours, we finally arrived in the city. It was still early morning after dawn, the sun was starting to rise, so I began exploring the Banda Aceh area. The first thing that caught my attention was the city's atmosphere, which was still a bit quiet, even though Banda Aceh is the capital of Aceh Province, which is known for its busy activities compared to other cities in Aceh.
Here are some pictures I took as the sun began to shine and make the city start to brighten, and the lights that decorated the night began to disappear in the city. For me, the atmosphere at that time was so calm with the activities of residents starting to go, making the atmosphere begin to come alive in the city.
Then, a park in the city center caught my eye: the Adipura Monument.
My friend...
The Adipura is an award for cities that have successfully managed cleanliness and environmental management. This competition has been held by the Ministry of Environment in my country since 1986. Since its inception, Banda Aceh has received this award as a symbol of city cleanliness. To commemorate this achievement, the Banda Aceh City Government erected a monument. This is the Adipura Monument, commemorating Banda Aceh's achievement as one of the cleanest cities in Indonesia.
Initially, this area caught my attention, and I approached it. After getting closer, I realized that this was the Adipura Monument after reading the notice below the monument, which also provided details.
A park has also been built in the area around this monument for the local community. The area is surrounded by trees, making it a popular spot for street vendors to relax. During the day, one area of the park is filled with people enjoying the cool breeze that helps ward off the heat. However, in the early morning, the atmosphere is still quiet, and even the cleaning crews haven't arrived to clean the area yet. I only see people busy going about their daily activities.
Furthermore, the park is equipped with solar-powered lighting, thus saving energy for the city of Banda Aceh.
A friend of mine who lives in Banda Aceh City said that city residents rarely use this open space because it lacks adequate facilities like public restrooms and children's playgrounds, even though the park is located in the city center.
He said that its proximity to the Military District Command (Kodim) office may have made residents avoid it, as trauma from the military could play a role in keeping the park quiet.
In addition to the park surrounding the monument, there is also an ATM from a national bank specifically for Acehnese people, as we enjoy special autonomy, making Aceh a unique and somewhat special city compared to other cities in Indonesia.
Okay, my friends, those are some pictures and a short post from me on this blog about a park. There's a monument built to commemorate the cleanliness of Banda Aceh's Adipura award.
If you ever find yourself in Banda Aceh and want to experience an open space with a beautiful atmosphere, I think you might want to consider this place for a short break and enjoy the atmosphere.
Those are some of the pictures I'm sharing in this post. I hope you all enjoyed and enjoyed what I've shared. I also want to thank all of you who have taken the time to view and read my blog to the end.
Please leave your comments, support, and input, which means a lot to me, so I can create a better blog in the future.
That's all for now.
Greetings, everyone.
See you in my next blog.
