In this post, I will share my travel experience from Langsa City to the protected forest tourist destination, there were many moments that happened on this trip, and I also managed to capture some of those exciting moments,of course, every trip I take always gives the best meaning in life, and this trip itself managed to realize a difference that upholds the limitations and advantages of each different place, which means that differences are not a problem, but rather to complement each other. Langsa City is a city located at the eastern tip of Aceh and is also a city that is the largest trade center in Aceh Timur.
For me, Langsa city is a city full of surprises, we will not know how amazing this city is if we do not explore it directly, it is not satisfying if we hear about the wonders of Langsa city from other people's mouths because Langsa city is very interesting to visit directly, there are lots of hidden parks that are not visible from the highway, finding out via Google Maps is also the right choice or we can also ask local residents about hidden friends in Langsa city, do not hesitate to ask, because the people of Langsa city are also very friendly, until now there is a saying that might be a guideline when I want to go on a trip, namely, do not be shy to ask, because "being shy to ask will get lost on the road"
Right at the intersection, I stopped because the light was red and I was very surprised when I saw across the street was the Langsa city museum, actually I really wanted to visit that place, but unfortunately the museum was closed at that time. After the green light came on, I immediately continued my journey to the protected forest, from this red light area, it probably only took me about 8 minutes to get there.
Because the road conditions were not too busy, this trip was faster, after about 5 minutes of travel I finally arrived at the protected forest area of Langsa city, from the main road we only need to go about 70 meters to arrive at the entrance gate.
Arriving there, I immediately parked my motorbike to buy a ticket. 1 ticket is priced at IDR 10,000 in Indonesian currency per person, or equivalent to 2.8 Hive prices at the moment, of course, this is a very cheap ticket price, but this is for a motorbike and I don't know how much the ticket price is for a car, after getting the ticket I immediately entered the protected forest area that I had long wanted to visit.
Upon arriving at the protected forest area, I stopped for a moment to read the layout or directions for each place in this protected forest, reading the rules or directions given by each place is very important (in my opinion), especially if we have never visited the place before, of course, a place that is still unfamiliar will make us confused later.
After seeing the directions and layout of the protected forest from the banner, I immediately understood it, but at that time I chose to travel straight ahead because I had to find a safe place to park my motorbike first.
About 100 m from the main gate I have managed to find an area filled with ornamental plants, from this road I can see how amazing this place is, the surrounding atmosphere makes me forget my position at that time which is in the city of Langsa, I thought that the beautiful place in Aceh was only in the city of Takengon, but it turns out that my thinking was totally wrong, because the city of Langsa is also a place that has many extraordinary tourist destinations.
I am someone who really likes traveling and adventure, I have a lot of ambitions in my life, my first ambition is to travel around Aceh, my second ambition is to travel around Indonesia, and finally my third ambition is to travel around the world, but I am still unsure about my second and third ambitions, but as we know, nothing is impossible in this world, hopefully I can complete my three ambitions, and believe me Hive is the only place for me to share all my experiences
In the end, I managed to find a place that looked very romantic, especially if we go with our partner, but because I was still on my motorbike, I chose not to approach the place and preferred to look for a safe parking place for my motorbike first.Not far from the area, I finally managed to find a safe parking area, so I immediately parked my motorcycle there. From the parking area, I immediately walked, exploring every corner of this protected forest, until I finally managed to find a monument made of a large stone.
I learned some important information from the monument. It turns out that this protected forest was once a natural forest that functioned as a water catchment area with an area of 133,000 hectares, and over time its area decreased to 9,000 hectares. In 2013, this forest was designated as the Langsa City Forest Park, which was then developed into a tourist destination with the "Lambada" tourism concept, which combines nature tourism, educational tourism, and historical and cultural preservation. And in 2018-2019, the Langsa City Forest Park was expanded again to 48 hectares. This protected forest was inaugurated on December 31, 2021
Not far from this stone monument, I also managed to find a mini garden area that contained lots of ornamental plants in it, what was even more interesting was that the ornamental plants had been decorated with very romantic shapes, some were in the shape of love, to other romantic shapes, these were natural colors that looked very amazing.
I want to visit this place again with my partner, happiness, satisfaction can also be obtained when we have succeeded in making the people we love happy.
I'm 
♥️
