Padang to Remember

If you hear the name of Padang, we may immediately conjure up specific Padang cuisine, or a curved roof with a typical spike such as buffalo horn called gonjong-gonjong, Maling Kundang legend, the story of Siti Nurbaya, and "Teluk Bayur" song, sing by Ernie Johan in the 1960s. Geographically, the city is very interesting because it framed the Mentawai Strait and Thousand Mountains. So, we can enjoy the harmony between the rich culture and beauty or charm in urang awak called rancak bana and we always intended to make takana jo Koto Padang (remembering  Padang City). Padang is the initial settlement of fishermen in the estuary of several rivers, among others, Batang Arau, Kuranji Batang, Batang Muaro Panjalin, and Batang Anai. Since the ruler of the kingdom Pagaruyuang Agreement Painan years in 1667 to allow VOC trade monopolies and establish the fortress at the edge of Batang Arau, the history of Padang city. The growth of cities around the fortress began in the VOC and demolished by the British in 1781 and indigenous market (Gadang Market). Currently, the area around the former stronghold VOC become the old city center, or Koto Tuo This colonial building. Where there is called Chinatown full with Chinese building using typical Chinese form of row houses and shops of traditional temple, for example, Hin temple Sin Kiong. The Panorama of old city can be seen from the top of the Siti Nurbaya bridge in Batang Arau. Bridge is a landmark of Padang city. First, along the north side of the river, there is the railway. Once there is a revitalization project, former railway land is changed into parks and open land at the edge of the river. In Batang Arau, there are charming tourist jetty. From the pier that many foreign tourists rent a boat to Sekuai Island Resort, which is about 25 to 40 minutes from the dock. Wide island is surrounded by 40 hectares of white sand. Once exotic and interesting. Oher typical padang roof gonjong-gonjong. Such as the roof can be found in almost all buildings, especially offices. Office building which was the first to use the roof gonjong gonjong is the office of the Governor of West Sumatera. The building is from Netherlands era, but in the year 1959 when the Governor of West Sumatera Kaharroedin DT Rangkayo Basa ordered a changes to the office roof typical Minangkabau. In 1970 the Governor Azwar Anas called to the building of offices in the city of Padang built with a roof that also. Building "bagonjong" style that much neo-vernacular architecture is the latest Minangkabau International Airport. Other places that when I really miss is teluk Bayur. At The south bay of the most beautiful bay in the archipelago are many citizens who catch the fish, enjoy the sun sinking. Although still in the area of the city, the atmosphere there felt very natural because the road at the edge of the line the beach and sea are limited to natural forests with various animals such as monkeys, which appear very familiar with humans. When we enjoy roasted corn or bananas are sold at the edge of the bay, we must be vigilant because many monkeys that approach. The instinctive primates such generosity we hope to provide some roasted corn or bananas that we enjoy.  They give us stuntman attraction. See just how relaxed they crawl through the phone cable that extends the range between the poles along the roads. Other Enchantment can be obtained from the color of the water at the edge of the bay is clear blue. So, the bottom of full of fish ocean can be seen between the plants and coral. And at a distance appear commercial ships are anchored. Maybe the enchanting beauty that has been inspiring to toss Ernie Johan to sing "teluk bayur" decades ago. Buildings in the seaside complete the beauty. Because of the geographic location of Padang city in the seaside, so many buildings located on the coastline. One of the leading hotels includes some coastal areas as their backyard At last visits in the past; I choose to stay on one of the hotel with panoramic views directly to the sea. To satisfy the desire guests who want to swim in the sea, but fear the possible large waves, in the building between the hotel and the beach sand built freshwater swimming pool. So, while swimming in fresh water swimming pool, hotel guests can still see the sunset in the sea. Exotic! In addition, the campus of the University of Bung Hatta Padang also directly adjacent to the beach. Of course, it could spell a student from the routine stress of the course. Parties, each time they can enjoy the beauty of the sea without any trouble or cost. In fact, if interested, the campus, students can relax in the sand and swim in the sea. Padang community is no longer fear with the possibility of tsunamis because there is already "tsunami early warning system". Moreover, the city of Padang protected by the Mentawai archipelago directly from the Indian Ocean waves. One thing that can be the attraction in the city is unique transportation. Anyone who has ever been to a city that may want to discuss transport if there is the most attractive in Indonesia. Almost all the city buses are equipped with accessories that mixed together, plus colorful paintings throughout the car body. Be seen, is similar vehicle transport in the entertainment park "Disneyland". The average minibus has a full body colorful papers and accessories vessel equipped car racing. The inside is very startling. Structuring the sound system and the interior is like luxury car, complete with music boom that is not intended to make passengers asleep during the Padang city tour. All that is, once again, intended to make anyone takana jo Koto Padang. Padang Pariaman Fish style Padang have close linkages with neighboring cities, namely Padang Pariaman. On Sundays or holidays, many people who come to tour Cermin Beach in Padang Pariaman. Generally, they use train or private vehicle. Loka is also often used as a place to meet among teenagers. Which is very interesting from the beach is a form of religious procession "tabuik" in a particular month. Please note, the actual procession is a typical ceremony of Syiah Islamic community. Now, it has become a cultural tradition in the area of the beach. Ulaan, an area about 60 kilometers from the city of Padang, there is the tomb of Sultan sheik Burhanudin. Gate and the sheik is a roofed building "bagonjong." The sultan is the first person to propagate Islam in Minangkabau after himself started studying Islam for 30 years in Aceh. Its role in the spread of Islam similar to the Wali Songo Island. In the month of Sapar, thousands of people, especially the Islamic Sunni from all over the West Sumatra came pilgrimage. In the area we can also enjoy various dishes with fish. In general, visitors to buy as souvenirs typical Ulaan. How to fry fish, which can also become a unique attraction for travelers. Take for example, how thin the fish fry length about 50 cm and 3 cm wide. Fish is shaped like a spiral, a circle and being with bamboo and given the fried flour before. The uniqueness about the way also fascinates peanut brittle to be viewed. Imagine, a dough of flour to pour in on the aluminum plate diameter of 10 cm and then given a small shrimp or fish, and fried together with the molder. Once cooked, and lifted from the frying pan, peanut brittle aluminum separated from the base that serves as a mold that produced the peanut brittle thin and perfectly round. It feels good and crispy. Not only that, the nature of travel throughout the city to Padang Pariaman also very interesting. This view that we can enjoy more intensive when we eat for the rest in one of the stalls are located along the roads in the area Sicincin, Kiambang Village. While enjoying the delights sate Padang, or fern leaf vegetables with coconut milk sauce with young coconut ice, we can see the Bukit Barisan natural background. That is added to the charm of fertile rice fields. Not surprisingly, Minangkabau called as a granary archipelago. Not to elegance estuary of the river stream. We cannot rest to take the picture of it. Source: SuaraMerdeka Peta Lokasi : Salam hangat dari Liburan.Info...
