Hello Hive friends in this community, today I will invite you to take a virtual walk in the city of Langsa, which is one of the small cities on the border of North Sumatra and Aceh Tamiang Regency. Although Langsa is a small city, this city also has many tourist attractions. One of the objects I visited was the mangrove forest. But here I tell you about the conditions around the mangrove forest in Langsa city.
The Mangrove Forest in Langsa Regency is located close to the Port in Langsa City and this Port itself is a Port where fishing boats dock to catch fresh fish in the open sea. Not only for catching fish but the ships in this Port also function to transport passengers who will go to Telaga Tujuh Island. One of the small islands that borders directly with the Malacca Strait in Malaysia. And Telaga Tujuh Island also has beautiful white sand but unfortunately due to time constraints I did not have time to cross to this island so now I only invite you to walk around the mangrove forest.
And around this mangrove forest there is also a village for the community whose life depends on catching crabs and shrimps that are found in between the mangrove trees. And these houses are built from very strong sea wood and the houses stand on a swamp surrounded by mangrove forests. Sometimes I see many monitor lizards swimming leisurely around the mangrove forest but they are just normal to see it, in fact I am the one who feels scared.
The best time to come here is in the afternoon when the sun is not high and the breeze removes our sweat slowly and at times like this drinking young coconut water is very fitting for our bodies. Enjoying the swamps in the Mangrove forest that are like lakes and of course you can also take shelter and observe the small crabs hiding around the mangrove trees without fear.
And if you ask what we can get from walking to this mangrove forest? the answer is there are many, besides the green scenery with a bonus of mangrove lakes and the open sea at this Port. the typical food here also won't make you bankrupt. The food has a delicious taste, the portions are quite large and of course the thing that is awaited is the price which is quite cheap and very friendly to the pocket. Likewise with the people who are friendly to newcomers like us and the price of the accommodation is also quite cheap, clean and the facilities are also very good. so walking around the Langsa mangrove forest will not make you traumatized due to excessive spending.
if I have a day off I will come back to this city especially to this mangrove forest destination to enjoy the scenery and culinary tourism. And you need to know the distance from my city to Langsa city is about 4 hours and the journey from Medan to this city has a smooth and unwinding road so for those of you who are not very familiar with the road this place is very safe.
Greetings from me tomi diwirja, Indonesia and follow my next journey friends.
