Lately, I've been really enjoying finding quiet places in Jakarta. It's not that I want to escape reality , but more because I want to discover a different side of this city that's not just traffic jams, noise, and vehicle exhaust fumes...😮💨
One place that has successfully made me pause for a long time, thinking, "Is this really in Jakarta?" This place is like a breath of fresh air for city dwellers looking for a break from the fast-paced world...
• A Tranquil Path 🍃
As soon as I entered the reservoir area, I was immediately greeted by a path lined with shady trees on either side. The tree branches formed a kind of natural tunnel , it making the walk even more serene. The atmosphere was serene , with only the sound of footsteps and leaves rustling in the wind to be heard...
• Vast Lake & View of Residential Areas 🏘️
From the side of the reservoir, I could see a vast lake, with a backdrop of neat , multi-story houses. The water sometimes reflecting the clear sky. There were several open spots under the trees where I could sit and relax while watching the water and the surrounding activities...
• Green Path for Jogging or Relaxing 🌳
The path along the reservoir is quite wide and clean, perfect for an evening walk or light jog. On the left and right sides, various types of trees are planted, including ketapang trees whose leaves are starting to turn yellow and fall scattered about, creating a cool and romantic atmosphere. 😇🥰
• Kids' Hangout Spots & Fun Activities 👦👧
