If we hear something about a tourist spot, what comes to mind is a beautiful place with its own uniqueness and a place that is crowded with visitors, and goes viral within a certain period of time, but what if we find a place with extraordinary beauty and even the place is not a tourist spot at all, surely we will be very happy, right? Of course finding a new place is a satisfaction in itself because the place is still beautiful and there are still few people visiting it, so the place is still warm to talk about, especially if it has become a tourist spot later.
And this is what we will discuss together in this post, which is about my journey to a remote place that has extraordinary beauty, namely Reule Manyang beach. Reule Manyang is a beach located in Jeunieb sub-district and is about 25 kilometers from the center of Bireuen and will take about 35-40 minutes by motorbike, and this is a beach that is not exposed by social media and not many people know. I have visited this beach a few months ago, maybe about 5 months ago, and now I am visiting it again to see the difference that occurs on this beach.
From the entrance I did not find many changes around this beach, even some large trees still stand firmly here, but in this visit I was able to realize many new things, and I was able to realize an important statement why a place as beautiful as this is not used as a public tourist spot and the reason is because it turns out this place is a public cemetery, so the residents here do not allow this place to become a tourist spot.
So it is not surprising that when I asked for permission to enter the area of this place, I was given several prohibitions and taboos that should not be done, namely not to say rude words and not to be too cheerful, and the cemetery here makes these prohibitions a natural thing. And because I am a newcomer here, I must respect every custom and taboo in this place, because respecting each other is the most important thing.
And I immediately walked towards the edge of the beach and was right on top of a steep cliff.
The beach conditions at that time were high tide and the water almost reached the footpath area that people often passed. When I arrived at this beach, I felt like I was at Lampuuk Beach, Banda Aceh City because the high cliffs on the edge of this beach gave a different impression from other beaches in my area.
And another prohibition is that it is strictly forbidden for people who visit this beach to play on the edge of the cliff, because the cliff often collapses, and there have been incidents of visitors falling along with the landslide of the cliff on this beach so that this is now strictly prohibited.
Indeed, from the edge of the cliff we can see a lot of beauty because there are no more obstacles such as trees, but this is what causes accidents, prioritizing selfishness that can harm yourself. Because of the prohibition, I did not dare to approach the edge of the cliff any further and only stood in a safe place.
What if I walk a little further forward and this is what the cliff looks like?
Very beautiful, isn't it?
On the way to this beach I traveled alone so I had to be very careful. Although at the edge of the cliff we can see a lot of beauty, it will feel different when we see some of these landslide cliffs.
In my opinion, the reason this cliff is prone to landslides is because the soil here contains a lot of lime, so it is often called limestone soil, and this soil is not as strong as other soils, so the possibility of landslides is very high.
Moreover, there are many large and sharp rocks underneath, and it is very scary. However, my purpose here is to enjoy the beauty of this place, so no matter what, I still try to enjoy the beauty of this place as much as possible.
After enjoying the beauty of this cliff, I immediately decided to go to the other end of the cliff, because this place has a lot of cliff ends, and from each end of the cliff, the beauty that we can see will also be different.
To walk to the other end of the cliff, I decided to walk through the plantation area to avoid unwanted things from happening. And as I said before, at each different end of the cliff, the beauty that we can see will also be different.
However, when I wanted to go down to the edge of the cliff, suddenly something happened that I didn't want, namely I slipped and fell hard, causing my leg to be injured because it hit a rock.
Luckily I didn't fall down the cliff, That's why being careful is the most important thing when doing any activity.Because the injury I suffered was not too serious, I continued with my main activity, which was exploring this place and enjoying its beauty.
And when I arrived at the edge of the cliff, this was the beauty I could see.
After being satisfied enjoying the beauty offered by this place, I immediately walked back to the plantation to rest.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.
