As we all know, in the city center of Banda Aceh we can not only see the charm of the city, because in this city we will also be able to find many parks in every corner of the city, and it is impossible for us to visit all of these parks in just one day, there are places that are identical with natural nuances and there are also those that are identical with historical buildings, and this also depends on our initial goal of wanting to visit what kind of park.
Do you feel bored when you have to pass the same road every day when you want to visit a place? Maybe I don't, unless there are some other routes that can be passed, and the same thing happened when I visited Sari Park in the center of Banda Aceh, on my previous visit I passed the route next to the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque, but this time I chose to take a different route but with a longer distance, but if I didn't take this different route, maybe I wouldn't be able to see the beauty of the Krung Daroy River.
It should be noted, this river also has a strong history for the city of Banda Aceh and this is what makes every visit to the city of Banda Aceh always filled with extraordinary experiences. So this river was built by Sultan Iskandar Muda in the 17th century, this river comes directly from the mountains so the water is very clean, Sultan Iskandar Muda built this river also has a very romantic purpose, namely so that his wife can swim and play water, this river flows rapidly through several parks which are now known as Taman Gunongan and Taman Putro Phang (if you are curious you can see it in my previous post), and with the existence of this river also beautifies the condition of the park. However, now the water in this river is not as fast as it used to be and the water is not as clean as it used to be, but history is still history and it is a joy to be able to learn it.
Apart from having a rich history, this river also offers beautiful natural scenery and not only that, because on the banks of the river there is also a footpath which is now often used by local residents as an evening walk or jogging path.
This branching road made me a bit confused in choosing the right road to get to my destination, but at every corner of the road there are road signs so that it is easy for us to choose the right route.
After making sure that I was on the right path, I continued walking until I arrived again in front of the monument in the middle of the road.
I don't know whether this monument also has a history or not and I didn't get any information about this monument, so I had no other choice but to photograph its beauty, especially since its position is in the middle of the road and intersection, so anyone who passes this road can see it.
And from this monument, it only took me about 2 minutes to get to Taman Sari, and as soon as I arrived at the park, I immediately captured some of the beauty in the main area.
To get to this park, I probably walked for about 20 minutes, of course it made me feel very overwhelmed, so I decided to take a short break before exploring the rest of the park.
And while resting, I also had time to open a chat with the officer there and ask a little information about the history of this miniature park, and according to the information I got, this park used to be a place to relax and joke around the Aceh Sultanate, this park is also decorated as attractively as possible so that it provides a beautiful view to see, after getting this information I was even more amazed by this park, and not only its history that amazed me, but also the role of the Acehnese people in maintaining and preserving this park also deserves to be appreciated, so that the beauty of this park can still be enjoyed today.
And after getting enough rest, I immediately decided to explore the park, and started from the front area first.
We can see beautiful views, from several welcoming monuments to the pool in the middle, but what amazed me even more was the presence of several block-shaped chairs on the side of the pool, and there was also a roof made of wooden blocks, and from here we can also see the extraordinary value of traditional architecture.
The sensation that I can feel when I am in this park is a sense of tranquility, the many large trees in the park area make the atmosphere very cool and calm, but the condition of the water in this pool also looks very dirty, even the fountain monument is no longer functioning.
This pool is round in shape, after I explored it from the front side, I immediately stepped to the back side, the view that I saw was a little different, but still with the same atmosphere.
The view is very beautiful, both from the front and back, this park is indeed small, but its beauty and uniqueness are truly extraordinary. I happened to visit this park during the day, but if we want to see the many visitors who come to this park to relax, we can visit it in the afternoon.
And keep in mind, this park has a very strong and extensive history, and the reconstruction of this park is also related to the 2004 Aceh tsunami, but the information I obtained is still very minimal, so I only provide some strong historical information and what I already know.And this park is also located in the Bustanussalatin park area, so after I explored the entire Sari Park, I could immediately explore the next park.
Well, those are some pictures and stories from me in this post, I really hope that this post can provide entertainment for all of my friends. All of these pictures are purely my own, I took this picture using an Infinix 10 Pro cellphone and edited this picture using the Lightroom application.
