One area that is famous throughout Indonesia because there gadan's house cames from. Typical forms of art like gadang's house no more in the other parts of the world heritage of the ancestors of Indonesia. Besides the famous West Sumatra also with their distinctive cuisine is rendang. A diet of processed beef is already global flavor. You ever try rendang? if you do not hurry up to try before rendang disappeared from world cuisine. West Sumatra society at large Moslem majority. And they are very ethics of Islam, so you should be able to maintain ethical and moral here even though the law here is not like in there Aceh.Dan unique culture of West Sumatra. If the majority of the earth wherever men should apply the woman that does not apply here. Women have to apply for males. Yup cultures are slightly different but that West Sumatra. And we see any kind that can represent our journey to visit West Sumatra.

Sorry fella all of yesterday I have not been able to post for a reason. Today we will continue our journey to Jambi. Need comrades know, Jambi Province in Indonesia is the cultural heritage of Srivijaya kingdom. It is estimated that there are still many relics are still buried in the ground. Interesting is not for you were pleased traveled once researched the history of civilization of human culture. Quiet here too there is a place for you who love marine tourism or who love adventure. If you say Jambi actually has a lot of potential for tourism but as is the case already Riau yesterday I discussed, the natural beauty of Jambi start undermined by the irresponsible who want to enrich themselves. Here there are a lot of rubber and oil palm plantations. Of course we hope that this does not become an ongoing thing. We hope that our grandchildren can still enjoy the natural beauty of our earth.

Our journey should begin to see nature Jambi first. Precisely I will explain the natural beauty of the National Park Kerinci. Actually, this national park located in four regions, but more are in the region of Jambi. Alright now I give a picture of the natural beauty that exist in this national park. You may be visit to the zoo frequently to see the animals such as elephants, tigers, monkeys, and other animals. In this forest was also no animals with the same type but different species. I mean here the animals that are here all dalah typical animals of this national park. Nothing in the other hemisphere. Interesting? certainly very interesting if we can meet these animals. But if the less fortunate, we still can see the unique plants that are here. Because here live dozens of rare species of orchids, or would like to see Kantung Semar, dead flowers, flower raflessia, all can be found here. If you're lucky you can see Sumatran elephants, clouded leopard, Sumatran tiger, Sumatran rhinoceros, Siamang, Ungko, and other sorts of unique animals. See not mentioned the name includes the word Sumatra because the animal is only found in Sumatra. Curious? you could find the picts on the Internet or not enough? please go the National Park.

2.Danau Gunung Tujuh

Continue our journey to a beautiful lake. Besides this beautiful lake is the highest lake in Southeast Asia. Precisely this lake located at an altitude of 1950 meters. Yes the name of the lake is Lake Gunung Tujuh. Thus it its name because the lake is surrounded by seven mountains. Namely Tujuh Mount with a height of 2,735 meters above sea level, Mount Jar Panggang at an altitude of 2,469 meters above sea level, Madura Besi Mountain with an altitude of 2,418 meters above sea level, Hulu Tebo Mount with a height of 2,525 meters above sea level, Lumut Mountain  with a height of 2,350 meters above sea level, Hulu Sangir Mount with a height of 2,330 meters above sea level and Selasih Mount the has a height of 2,230 meters above sea level. This lake has clear water and cool. The scenery around it was still beautiful and natural. Not many tourists are attracted to come here because the terrain is quite difficult and far from the big city. In this lake there are also elongated like beach sand. So you can set up a tent to spend the night here and see the sunrise here. Or want to drive around the lake you can also rent a boat belonging to the local community who work to find fish in the lake. This is certainly an interesting adventure seuah come to the lake and can then move around reach the top of the seven mountains are nearby.

3.Cemara Beach

After the adventure in a place that is full of forests, it is time now we go to the beach. Indeed, we are going to visit the beach is different from the other beaches in Bali, or maybe your place. The beach here is still very natural yet well maintained. But, this beach save tens of beautiful natural charm. If you are a fan of birds, here the suitable place. You can come here during the winter in the northern hemisphere. Here you will find thousands of migratory birds that stop. They migrate because in the place of origin of these birds had run out of their food such as fish, worms, mussels. While the evergreen coast provide all their wishes. However, the greedy and greedy human nature bird migration is considered as the harvest birds. So they hunt birds. Of course over time of these birds will be extinct. Clear loss for us all. We can no longer enjoy a holiday on the beach by watching thousands of birds who fish, worms and clams. Hope we hope humans who hunt birds with haphazard as they soon realized. So that the natural balance is maintained.

4.Muaro Jambi Temple

source pict

Our final trip time to admire the beauty of the culture of the ancestors of the people of Indonesia. We will visit the temple complex Muaro jambi. This complex is the largest temple complex in Indonesia. Here you can see 80 more temple ruins. And it is estimated there are dozens of others were buried in the soil. This temple complex is located in the village Muarajambi new village hamlet, village lake Lamo, kemingkin outside, kemingkin in. Although there are many ruins of temples that have not been rearranged, but some of the main temple you can already see its splendor. The temple here is built with the main ingredient of red stone. It is here not as grand as Borobudur or Prambanan, but the atmosphere of the temples here is a mixture of various cultures of India, Persia, and China. Due to the discovery of patterns of these places are then assimilated. Unfortunately, access to the temple was badly damaged due to road used frequently bypassed trucks coal and oil. Even the bad news circulating that the temple complex will be demolished to be replaced with oil palm plantations or mining of coal. It is ironic to hear it. Though this temple is the world's cultural heritage not only Indonesia sees shades of this temple were mixed. Exploring the complex is like to make we are in the era. Is the government not concerned with it? so hopefully the news was not true

The last of me, actually Jambi save extraordinary nature. Greed and human greed again spoil everything. I do not know until when nature in Jambi will last. Authorities also seemed silent witness the destruction. This nature should we watch for the sake of our survival as human beings. If human nature were damaged would also be extinct. We have brains to think but we forgot have a heart to feel the things that are important to ourselves. See you in the next article.

Until now there has been none climbers both from within and outside the country that managed to reach one of the peaks of the mountain. Many factors were the reason for the failure of climbers have reached the top of this mountain. Though it has only high mountains 1365 meters above sea level. One important factor is the unpredictable weather. The city looks bright but so try to climb the foggy weather will turn out to be so difficult for climbers to reach the summit.
