Hello...
In the PhotoFeed Contest - Cityscape Photography Round 136 hosted by 
From an aerial view, the main road that cuts through the city is clearly visible, neatly lined with residential houses, shops, and modern buildings. One striking icon is the Sultan Jeumpa Grand Mosque, with its majestic white dome, which serves as the center of religious activities. This building is not only a place of worship, but also a spiritual symbol and an important landmark in Bireuen.
Furthermore, the urban area of Bireuen showcases a blend of modern architecture and traditional Acehnese houses. The bustling main roads, bustling with commercial activity, reflect the city's growing economy.
Bireuen has developed into one of Aceh's educational centers. The presence of leading universities and schools makes the city a destination for the surrounding community. Economically, Bireuen is known for its vibrant trade, traditional markets, and the agricultural sector, which remains its mainstay, particularly the rice fields seen in the background of the photo.
The people of Bireuen are known for their friendliness, religious beliefs, and strong adherence to their customs. Acehnese traditions are still strongly felt in daily life, from the language and culinary specialties like kuah beulangong to the preserved arts and culture.
With its strategic location on the Banda Aceh-Medan route, Bireuen is an important transit point on Aceh's east coast. The combination of historical struggle, economic growth, natural beauty, and local wisdom makes Bireuen not just a transit city, but also a destination worth visiting.
That concludes my post for now. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.
