Gunung Padang

Thursday, April 27, 2006


Just outside the city is Gunung Padang, a jungle covered hill that provides visitors with a very "green" and pleasant stroll to Siti Nurbaya Park, named after a novel written by Marah Rusli about the frustration of love in this traditional society. A few kilometres south of the city across a large and scenic estuary are the Old Chinese cemetary and Air Manis beach. The cemetary is also lush with greenery and faces the estuary and old Dutch section of Padang. From this hill, visitors can see all views of Padang as the splendid Southern coastlines.
There are handfuls of enchanting islands just to the south of the city : Sirandah, Sironjong, Pasumpahan, Pagang, Sikuai, Cubadak, and Kasiak island. All of the island are very nice places for snorkeling, diving, swimming, or sunbathing.
