[ENG] Hi bloggers and community. Today, I’ll share with you my night walk as I enjoy the city’s mix of bright and dimly lit nightscapes.
[IND] Hi bloggers dan anggota komunitas. Hari ini aku akan membagikan pada kalian kegiatan jalan-jalan malamku menikmati suasana malam kota yang terang dan gelap.
[ENG] I walked around the downtown area of Medan, known as Kesawan—a place with a long history stretching from ancient times to the present.
[IND] Aku berjalan di sekitaran pusat kota Medan, yang dikenal dengan nama Kesawan. Tempat yang memiliki sejarah panjang dari jaman dahulu sampai saat ini.
[ENG] Walking around this oldest district and the heart of Medan brings a classic and warm atmosphere; along these streets, there are still many well-preserved and well-maintained old European-style buildings.
[IND] Berjalan di sekitaran daerah tertua dan pusat kota Medan ini membawa suasana klasik dan hangat, di sekitaran jalanan ini masih banyak bangunan-bangunan tua bergaya eropa yang masih dipertahankan dan dirawat dengan baik.
[ENG] One of them is the London Sumatera Building, which still stands tall in the city center—this white-painted building with its large European-style columns is very famous and has even become an icon of the Kesawan area.
[IND] Salah satunya Gedung London Sumatera yang masih berdiri kokoh di pusat kota ini, bangunan bercat putih dan pilar-pilar yang besar bernuansa eropa ini sangat terkenal bahkan menjadi ikon daerah Kesawan ini.
[ENG] During the day, this area is filled with music stores, textile shops, and offices—typical downtown activity—but at night, it transforms into a tranquil tourist spot with many laid-back coffee shops, even though they’re bustling with visitors.
You can also buy flowers around here; there are street photo booths, and street snacks to enjoy.
[IND] Saat siang, daerah sini banyak pertokoan alat musik, textil, dan perkantoran, aktivitas pusat kota pada umumnya, namun saat malam tempat ini menjadi tempat wisata yang tenang dengan banyak tempat ngopi yang santai meskipun ramai pengunjung.
Kalian bisa membeli bunga di sekitaran sini juga, ada yang menyediakan photo booth jalanan, dan jajanan pinggir jalan yang bisa dinikmati.
[ENG] One spot that caught my attention is tucked away in a small alley, like a residential neighborhood passageway.
[IND] Satu tempat yang mencuri perhatianku, ia berada di dalam lorong kecil seperti gang perumahan masyarakat sekitar.
[ENG] Its walls are adorned with murals depicting the daily lives of the local community and childhood activities that evoke memories of the past.
This narrow alley is lined with colorful lanterns that help light the way.
[IND] Dinding-dindingnya digambar mural yang menggambarkan aktivitas masyarakat sekitar dan kegiatan masa kecil yang membangkitkan kenangan masa lalu. Dipenuhi lampion warna-warni yang membantu penerangan di lorong kecil ini.
Well, bloggers, that’s all for my story about this beautiful old place this week. Thank you for stopping by ☺️
