Taman Sari is the place a tourist attraction located in downtown Banda Aceh.
After the devastating tsunami devastated Taman Sari, revamping was enormous. Taman Sari changed. Even in the park area that builds the main building as a resting place, library, showroom, to fish pond. Taman Sari again throbbed with a new breath.
Formerly, Taman Sari named Taman Ghairah is located in the compartment of Taman Bustanul Salatin known as the park of the King of Aceh. This sultanate park of Aceh was built in 1514 M Tempo Tempo first, this area is very wide until reaching 1/3 from Banda Aceh. Bustanul Salatin Park stretches from Gunongan, Pinto Khop, Kandang, to the Great Mosque of Baiturahman. The beauty of this garden is more perfect because in the middle of the flow of Krueng Daroy which is an artificial channel.
This name is Pinto khop. This building is a historical heritage of the people of Aceh during the reign of the young Sultan Iskandar.
However, when the Dutch colonization began, the area was slowly changing. More change when independence. Taman Bustanul Salatin complex is slowly decomposing no longer in one area. Road construction produces several objects, such as Gunongan, Pinto Khop, and Baiturahman Mosque separate mileage.
Well, to commemorate and re-lift the heyday, Taman Sari also clean up to have the spirit like Bustanul Salatin Park. This triumph is manifested in the form of a new building with a very futuristic design.
Location Bustanul Salatin Park is located right in front of Banda Aceh DPRK Building. The building is ethnic style with Islamic ornaments are so thick. There are two gates located on the right and left side of the building. In the corner of the building there is a circular staircase to climb. Taman Sari Building or Bustanul Salatin Park is prepared as the first digital museum in Aceh. Later, in this building will be exhibited the narration of the ancient Acehnese who displayed the modern. So that presents a museum that is far from the impression of monotonous and boring.
Uniquely, the building is designed to resemble hills. On the back side of the building facing the Proclamation Monument, there is open space like a hill. Open space is planted with dense grass. Here can be used by visitors leyeh-leyeh and relieve fatigue. While under it is used as an exhibition area.
Taman Bustanul Salatin Building has not been completed 100%. But, because of its unique and striking shape, many townspeople are starting to arrive and take pictures-photos ria. It looks like this place will hits as a new tourist attraction in Banda Aceh. I also tried to explore it more deeply. Climb up the ramps to the top floor of the building. It turns out the upstairs is open like a balcony. There are two fish ponds built near the stairs. From above, the scenery is clearer. I can see more free area of the park. In various parts I can see from a distance the Mosque of Baiturahman with an electric umbrella.
I can not wait to enjoy Bustanul Salatin Park as soon as possible. Surely, this building offers new tours that are rarely found elsewhere. Moreover, the digital museum located in this building is the first digital museum in Aceh.
