Good evening, my friends, wherever you are. I hope you are all healthy and happy, allowing you to carry out your daily activities as usual. I hope you all have a pleasant day.
This time, I return to this beloved community and invite you to explore the city of Banda Aceh. This city is the capital of Aceh Province and has become a top choice for tourists from Aceh and beyond during holidays, especially Eid al-Fitr, due to its many religious tourism destinations. In this blog, I want to invite you to explore and experience the atmosphere of this city through some images that I share, along with a short article.
So, keep following my blog to see the beauty of this city, with its religious, relaxed atmosphere, and rich historical memories.
In a previous blog, I shared our initial arrival in the city. The first area I explored was the Adipura Monument park, located in the city center, not far from the famous Baiturrahman Mosque, which is a symbol of Banda Aceh.
My friends...
The Adipura Monument was built to commemorate the city's success in winning the Adipura trophy, organized by the Ministry of Environment in my country, which once earned Banda Aceh the title of cleanest city. A park has also been built within the Adipura Monument area for the local community to enjoy the open space of Banda Aceh. You can see my previous blog about the Adipura Monument park
After exploring the Adipura Monument Park, I continued my journey to enjoy the city's atmosphere, which is known for its peaceful atmosphere in the mornings.
I saw many easily accessible places known for their history and iconic buildings. These buildings are located in the heart of the city, and I feel that this area is very accessible if you're in Banda Aceh.
Now I'm on my way to the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque. This mosque is famous for its history. It was the first mosque built during the era of Sultan Iskandar Muda. It also witnessed the 2004 tsunami that struck Aceh, the largest and deadliest disaster in modern times.
I decided not to explore the mosque area yet due to its vast area. Therefore, I'll create a dedicated blog post about it in the future, and I'll only share a glimpse of it in this blog.
Here are some images showing the mosque's minaret, visible from afar, its majestic and beautiful architecture.
There are numerous relaxation areas throughout the city, and this is one of them. For me, this is one of the advantages of Banda Aceh compared to other cities in my province, and it also attracts many people to visit and explore the city.
At night, the parks look especially aesthetic, decorated with colorful lights. These parks are also used by local residents to simply rest or spend time and enjoy the city's nighttime atmosphere.
Most of the monuments in Banda Aceh were built by private individuals or sponsored by well-known businesspeople. Therefore, many inscriptions describe the main sponsors of the monuments in Banda Aceh.
The weather was starting to brighten and the sun was starting to shine on the city, but I didn't see much activity from the residents. The atmosphere was calm, especially since the city looked so aesthetically pleasing, especially with the monuments that had been built, making the city beautifully lit at night.
Furthermore, I noticed that traffic and the main roads in this city had been optimized, with parking spaces on the right and left sides for motorcycles and cars for those who wanted to spend the night enjoying the city's atmosphere around the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque.
Then I started to explore further in the city where I started to enter the street area where there were shops beside it, in the morning the atmosphere began to be marked by the air which was still cool and the activities of the residents were also going on with their ruku-ruku starting to open even though the activities were not that busy but for me this was one of the moments that was so calm
The sun has risen and the city is already bright. With that, I think I've briefly explored the city area. This morning, I'm returning to the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque.
And stay tuned for my next blog, where I'll discuss this mosque, which has become an icon and symbol of Banda Aceh, and which has a very interesting history.
Well, my friends, those are some pictures and a short article from me on this blog about Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh province. I hope you all enjoyed and enjoyed what I've shared. I also extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you who have taken the time to view and read my blog to the end.
Please leave your comments, support, and input, which means a lot to me so I can create a better blog in the future.
That's all for now.
Greetings, everyone.
See you in my next blog.
