My Hometown
Hi friends, i’d like to tell you about Padang, a capital of West Sumatra Province, my hometown. I visited it last year in my holiday. If i go to Padang, i always go to Bukit Tinggi. By hearing the name of Bukittinggi, peoples immediately reminded of the Jam Gadang and Ngarai Sianok. And there are a lot of things to see: Jam Gadang, Ngarai Sianok, Japan holes, Taman Bundo Kanduang zoo, above market and below market, Maninjau lake, etc.
Jam Gadang, is the landmark of Bukittinggi. There is a oddity that is at the peak of Jam Gadang. When ussualy writng include a symbol of a Roman numeral “IV” to symbolize the number four Roman, but Jam Gadang four roman numbers marked with the symbol “IIII” (usually IV). You also do not forget the time, because Jam Gadang will show time for you.
Second, i want to talk about Ngarai Sianok. It located in the middle of the city. Sianok a beautiful canyon with a long green valley about 15 km. Nature really is amazing! The ticket is not expensive enough, in Rp 2000 per person ,and that price includes the cost to visit Japan holes. Cheap enough don’t you think?
In this city most of the traditional arts and the children playing in Minangkabau villages can be seen, including:
