Bireuen is a city located in Aceh, Indonesia. Nicknamed the "City of Struggle," Bireuen served as the third capital of the Republic of Indonesia for a week after Yogyakarta fell to the Dutch colonialists during World War II.
On this occasion, I would like to share some images of Bireuen City at night. At 12:00 AM, or precisely midnight, the city, which is flanked by Pidie Jaya, North Aceh, and Bener Meriah Regencies, was much quieter than usual. I took the time to take some photos. And this time, I'll share some of those images with this beloved community.
My friends...
The city of Bireuen is a transit point for vehicles on the Banda Aceh-Medan national highway and the route to the cool city of Takengon, a tourist destination. It's no wonder Bireuen is known as the Golden Triangle for its economy. Furthermore, this city is never empty of vehicles, even in the middle of the night. However, I noticed that the atmosphere at night was a little quieter than usual, so I took a moment to take some photos to share with this beloved community.
So, please continue to follow my blog to see the beauty of this city at night.
One evening, I happened to be passing through Bireuen after returning from a cafe in the city center.
As is well known, cafes and coffee shops in Bireuen are usually open from morning until night, some even staying open until the early hours.
Furthermore, the city is also famous for its culinary delights, one of which is the famous ApaLeh satay.
Looking at my watch, it was exactly midnight. This is how the city's streets looked at that time. I took these photos in front of Ibu Fauziah General Hospital (RSUD Fauziah).
There are several relaxing spots in Bireuen, including a row of cafes lining the Bireuen Elak Road leading to Matang Glumpang Dua.
One such relaxing spot in the city center at night is the Bireuen town square, located right next to the traffic light leading to Jalan Johan Alamsyah. Here are some images I captured there, a popular spot for both young and old.
However, after the city's 12:00 PM traffic control order was implemented, young people were no longer allowed to hang around. The town square was now empty after 12:00 AM, as you can see in the image I shared above.
Then I went to the front of the square where in front of it there is a pendopo which is one of the very historic buildings in the city and this is its beauty at night where colorful lights decorate the building along the fence.
Then I took a moment to pass through Bireuen City Park. This is the highlight of the city: Bireuen City Park, which houses the Batee Kureung Monument and the Mini Monas Monument. Usually, after sunset, this area is crowded with local residents sitting with family and friends. However, this time, the atmosphere was very quiet because it was already 12:00 AM, and the traffic was also quite light.
Okay, friends, those are some of the images and a short caption from me for this post. I hope you all enjoyed and enjoyed what I shared. If you ever pass through Bireuen, I highly recommend stopping by this city park, located in the center of Bireuen, to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.
I will also share some other blog posts about the city in my next post.
Greetings, everyone.
See you in my next blog.
