While my partner and I were traveling around tawar sea, we unexpectedly came across an open area that was already crowded with many people. It is important to note that this area was affected by a landslide disaster, and many places had been damaged or lost, including several tourist destinations that previously existed. There was a parking area located along the roadside, and its condition was severely damaged. The scene was quite heartbreaking, with a large amount of building debris and fallen trees mixed with the soil.
I no longer remember what this place looked like before the landslide occurred, but I do know that this area once had several tourist attractions, including cafés and food stalls. Now, the area has become an empty space covered with bushes and wild grass, and we can also find wooden debris almost everywhere.
However, the beauty of this place has not completely disappeared,from here we can still enjoy beautiful views of tawar sea and the towering mountains that surround it. At that time, I saw many visitors coming with their families, and some even brought mats and various cooking utensils. Most of them seemed to treat this place as a perfect recreational destination, where they could cook, swim, relax, and enjoy many other activities.
From some of the images above, we can see that the landslide originated from the mountains behind this area,i cannot imagine how devastating this disaster was. I could not even see the remains of the cafés and food stalls that once stood around this place, as everything had been buried beneath rocky mud. However, the mud has already dried, creating a thick layer of dust,but when it rains, though, the ground becomes wet again and turns into very slippery mud.
There are so many visitors who come with their families, on the mats they sit and relax as if this place is destined to make them happy. My partner and I can only sit on a large rock and see everything that happens in this place, the noisy voices of the visitors can be heard from almost anywhere, and that indicates that this place has succeeded in bringing happiness to many people.
From what I observed, most of the visitors who came to this place were local residents. There were also several young people who seemed busy taking photos and capturing their memorable moments in the most interesting way possible.
If we don't come to this place directly, maybe we can only see its beauty on social media, but if we come to this place ourselves, we will realize that this place is really damaged and needs our help to repair and renovate it.
The natural scenery that I could see was very beautiful, but there was another view that made me feel very amazed and scared at the same time, there were several small children swimming on the edge of the tawar sea, we could see that the condition of the sea was very blue which indicated that the condition of the water was very deep, they were swimming happily and the sound of their laughter could be heard clearly to where we were sitting.
