Traveling to Taman Sari Bustanussalatin in Banda Aceh City // The Extraordinary Beauty of the Park and Full of Stories

Good night to all my beloved hive friends all ♥️

This morning I did a lot of activities that made my body feel very tired, Starting from the morning I took my mother to the hospital to accompany her to do a blood test because the plan is the day after tomorrow my mother will undergo her fifth chemotherapy. And after returning from the hospital I also helped my uncle with a little work at home and that really made me very tired.

And because I was in the city of Banda Aceh which is the capital of Aceh province, I chose to walk around the city while enjoying the very refreshing afternoon air, but I don't have many friends here and I chose to go by public transportation.

I went alone to the city center to find peace for myself, and I passed several streets with views of several beautiful and magnificent buildings, I was amazed by several beautiful objects during this trip, and after arriving at the city intersection I chose to get off at the intersection in the middle of the city and immediately paid for public transportation.

And when I arrived at the intersection, I saw a very beautiful monument with an extraordinarily beautiful architecture. The monument was made of several pieces of iron shaped like a blooming flower, and on each piece of iron, several small lights were installed to decorate the night with colorful night decorations from the small lights.

Here are some of its beauties.

Taking the time to look at this beauty makes me very happy, the beauty with its architecture is extraordinary, and I'm sure at night it will be the attention of people who pass this road, but after I took some pictures of the monument I immediately continued this journey, even though I was only walking but my destination was not far away, namely Taman Sari which is located in the middle of Banda Aceh city and is a park that is a favorite of many people because of its beautiful place and very cool atmosphere.

I walked while enjoying every beauty that accompanied every step I took, and I saw with my naked eyes that the park was right in front of me, so I immediately quickened my pace to quickly reach the park.

And when I arrived at the park, I immediately chose to visit a unique place first, namely a place where there were several round irons stuck into the ground and painted with several colors that made the place decorated with truly elegant colors. Rather than being curious, here are some pictures.

I myself don't really know the reason why these irons were made, but these irons look very beautiful with colorful paint and irregular iron lengths, making my curiosity arise and full of question marks, but I just ignored it and immediately continued with some of my personal activities, namely enjoying the beauty and taking some beautiful pictures there.

And when I was in the middle of the park, I was amazed because I could see the magnificent tower of the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque that I had visited a few weeks earlier.

And stupidly I just realized that this park is very close to the grand mosque, if only I knew from the beginning maybe a few weeks before after taking some beautiful pictures at the mosque I would have gone to this friend, but this is the first time I know. And after taking some beautiful pictures at the park I immediately continued my journey deeper into the park.

And from a distance I could see a building with walls that had extraordinary architecture, before I arrived at the building I tried to photograph it from a distance first.

And after taking a picture of the building from a distance, I became even more curious about the building and started walking to get closer to the building, the distance was not too far so I ran to get there quickly, i couldn't wait to see everything in the building.

And this is what the building looks like from the front, it turns out that the building has many stairs to go up to the 2nd floor, because of my great curiosity, I finally decided to continue exploring the building to go up to the 2nd floor.

And I immediately climbed some stairs to go to the second floor of the building, and when I arrived at the second floor, I was immediately amazed by the extraordinary beauty that I could witness with satisfaction from the top of the building. Here are some photos that I took while on the second floor of the building.

And when I was already on top of the building, I met one of the residents there and immediately asked about the building, and the person's answer was that this was a very historic building, but the person also didn't know much about this building, the point is that this is a very historic building.

There wasn't much information that I could get about this building, but I didn't really mind it and continued to explore the park, and after coming down from this building I took the time to go to the children's park provided in this park and I immediately took some pictures there.

It looks like a very beautiful park and some beautiful facilities there, and there are some pictures showing small children playing on the small slide and there are some activities of residents such as sitting together with their families on the grass of the park, everyone looks very happy and makes my heart feel better when I am in this park.

And I had a rest in this park for a few minutes to restore my stamina which had been drained because I walked using only my two feet. And after resting for a while I immediately got up from my seat and went straight to a very beautiful monument and this is a very historic monument in Aceh from several other historic monuments.

I immediately approached the monument and took some pictures there.

On the monument there is an inscription about the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence, but in this post I will not discuss politics and history, because I myself do not really understand about it, and I am afraid there will be misunderstandings that we do not want. Because my goal in this post is to share some pictures that show my very pleasant journey.

And the monument looks sturdy with its extraordinary architectural beauty, I myself am very amazed by this monument and I took some pictures that show the beauty of the monument with full confidence so that it produces beautiful and of course detailed pictures.

After taking some pictures of this beautiful monument, I headed straight to the concert hall next to it.

This is what the concert hall looks like, the place looks empty because there are no events being held yet. However, it feels less satisfying if you don't try to approach this concert hall and take some pictures from a closer distance.

This concert is very spacious, and the floor looks dirty, indicating that this concert has been used for a long time, but the color of this building is very beautiful, and is able to attract people's attention to approach it. And besides this beautiful concert hall, the front yard of this building is also very spacious so that it can accommodate many spectators who want to watch the concert in this place.

These are some pictures showing the courtyard of this concert hall, and you can also see some big trees in the park which create a peaceful atmosphere and protect from the hot sun, which is why many people want to spend their time in this park.

Many tourist attractions in Aceh are visited in the afternoon to avoid the heat and scorching sun, but this place is different, this place will always be crowded with visitors even though it is still morning, and this place will be full of visitors on Sundays because Sunday is a holiday.

Without realizing it, it was already evening, before going home I decided to rest in this park while enjoying the natural beauty and some of the buildings there, the clean place made me want to linger in this place, and the cool atmosphere made me not want to go home. However, it was getting dark so I had to go home immediately, especially since I had to book public transportation first to be able to go home.

Well, that's my excitement this afternoon and some pictures that I shared on my trip this time, hopefully this post can provide entertainment for all my friends.
