Sidikalang is a city that is famous for its coffee and one famous tourist attraction, this tourist attraction is the Faith Park. It is said to be the Garden of Faith because this place is a religious tourism that deserves to be visited. This park stands on more than one hectare of land. because of the breadth of this leg you can break if you walk through this park. In this park, we can find the tolerance of religious people in Indonesia is very strong. How come? In this place we can find 4 places of worship with 4 religions that have been recognized in Indonesia. The religions that have been recognized in Indonesia are Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism.
Upon entering the Entrance Gate, the place of worship and its history is Christian. We can enter the Paradise Gate to know more about Christianity, besides that this place is very cool, so the people who live around the place often choose Sunday services in this place. In this place we can see many statues of Jesus with all the stories and sundries that are in it. Even though I am Muslim, I also have to know the history of other religions. However, when we entered the garden of paradise, it turned out to be very wide and we haven't explored everything, while there are still 3 other places of worship that we haven't visited, so we decided to get out of the garden of paradise and move to other places of worship.
At the second gate we will find a Buddhist monastery for worship, but this place is very quiet, no Buddhists visit this monastery. When we enter this place, we can see a pretty beautiful view here, we can see Sidikalang city from here, because this place is on a hill. We decided to sit for a moment and take pictures while capturing the moment. Because it can't be denied that my knees were shaking because they were still tired at the Paradise Gardens earlier.
We still visited two places of worship, but because the faith garden was so wide that it made my husband and I very tired, moreover we were not used to walking too far. Actually not far from the monastery there is a temple for Hinduism but because we are tired and we also have to continue our journey, we decided not to visit the temple.
And we immediately rushed to visit the last place of worship, namely the Mosque, a place of worship for Muslims, this place of worship is at the very end directly adjacent to the exit from the Sidikalang Faith Park.
At the last place of worship, we can find a mosque and a miniature Kaaba as well as the process for performing tawaf during Umrah and Hajj. Usually the surrounding community with their respective travels who will go to Mecca to perform Umrah or Hajj will perform worship simulations in this place. Not only that, in this mosque area, we can also see a cool green landscape with very cool air and a light breeze.
In this faith park, we can also find traders selling souvenirs or souvenirs for visitors who come from outside the city of Sidikalang. Not only that, in this place there is also an information room so that we don't get lost in this park because of the vastness of this area. To enter this faith garden we are required to pay an entrance fee of Rp. 5,000 per person. And you are free to park anywhere as long as it doesn't prevent other vehicles from passing to this place. Other facilities in this place are clean and well-maintained toilets and abundant water availability.
Actually there are many more cool places that can still be told from this Sidikalang Faith Park, but forgive us who have weak physiques so that we can only tell stories up to here. When we return from our main destination for traveling. We promise to come back to this place and finish the places we haven't visited in the future.
