Places You Must Visit In Pesisir Barat

This is my father hometown, it’s located in Pugung Penengahan; Lemong; Pesisir Barat. I go there once a year on every before or after Eid Fitri Pray, but mostly i celebrated my Eid Fitri there. It takes 8 or 9 hours to get there from my home in South Lampung. You will never be bored on the road, the beautiful scenery will make you enjoy and you won’t let your eyes miss the scenery; i’m sure.

There are beaches, mountains, lakes that are connected to the sea, fields, old houses which is so unique, some fountain(i’m not sure you still can find it because there is a roadrwork) and there are animals too if you are lucky, like monkeys. I ever saw a monkey when i’m passed the Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan (TNBBS).Usually, on my way back to home. There are so many fruits seller, it depends on what season but usually durians, rambutans and duku.

Actually, there are two ways to get there. First, you can take the road through Liwa. It takes much longer of time If you take this road but you will find some cool places to stop by like a place to take a picture with mostly. I’ve ever take this road and i stop by at a huge Mosque in Liwa named Islamic Center Mosque Baitul Mukhlisin. It is an amazing Mosque, the building is spectacular.  There are trees that makes the atmosphere cool and so peaceful and also a large hall to park the vehicle. The water is cold and the floor of the Mosque is cold too and it makes the visitor feel cool.

Besides Mosque, there are some nice park in town and an iconic place to take a picture with. I would rather to take the second way by the way, because i can’t stand with the twist and turns road if i take the road through Liwa. All i can do along the road is just sitting and trying hard not to vomit hahaha. even though the scenary is so damn good, I can’t enjoy  it or even see it because i will feel dizzy.

Second way is through Kota Agung. This road is more challenging and faster than the first (if you don’t stop by too long).  You will have to pass a horrible sharp steep climb(called Tanjakan Sedayu) , there are some of this because you are going to climb a mountain. You always have to be careful even you are already a pro driver because we don’t know what will happen next heheheh.  Next, be careful if you stop by around the forest  to take a rest after you reach the top of the mountain and about to get down. Due to that it is a wilderness, i’m afraid there will be a  wild animal that crossed the road. But all this time i never see one except monkey. At the top of the mountain, there is a small store. You can feel the quiet situation, breath the fresh air and enjoy the scenery . After you get down, the scenery will slowly change into wide seas. 

There are some famous places along the road to my dad’s hometown :


   1.      

Some huge Mosque
   2.       Tanjung Setia Beach

       This place is good for surfing. It has been proved that there are many tourist go surfing here or even   stay for a couple days. There is a place for the visitors to stay.

   3. Labuhan Jukhung Krui





   4.       Pulau Pisang (Banana Island)
        This place called as “Banana Island” because some people said that the shape of the Island is like       banana and the others said that there are so many  banana trees in that island. You can get to the     Island by a little ship from Krui port or Tebakak port (across of the Banana Island). It cost around     Rp.25.000/1person.



These are some photos that i took :

I’m sure you will never regret or disappointed once you get there.  There are so many spot for you to enjoy the scenery that you wont miss. See the picture od the sunsets, it is totally stunning if you see it for real!
            You can go surfing too in Pugung Penengahan because i’ve ever met a tourist went surf.
  
      Oh may God, i’m not satisfied yet describing the every place that i’ve seen and enjoying the scenary. It’s like there is no word could ever describe this God painting.

 Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila Kearifan Lokal "Lestarikan Budayaku, Cintai Negeriku" SMP Negeri 6 Natar 22 Januari - 1 Februari 2024 (Tari Muli Nyambai - Kelompok Tari 4) Mulai tahun ajaran 2023/2024, hampir semua sekolah menerapkan kurikulum merdeka untuk siswa/i kelas 7 termasuk di SMP Negeri 6 Natar. Salah satu yang menjadi ciri khas kurikulum ini adalah dengan adanya projek penguatan profil pelajar pancasila (P5) dengan berbagai tema yang dapat diterapkan sesuai dengan kondisi dan urgensi disekolah. Pada semester 2 ini, tema yang dipilih adalah Kearifan Lokal. Saya dan tim memutuskan untuk berfokus pada seni tari dan lagu Lampung. Hal yang mendasari fokus projek ini ialah kurangnya pengetahuan siswa terkait dengan seni tari dan lagu lampung. Selain itu, siswa pun tampak kurang peduli dengan warisan seni budaya yang dimiliki daerahnya. Oleh karena itu, projek ini bermaksud untuk memperkenalkan kepada siswa tentang tarian dan lagu lampung, mengajak siswa untuk m...

Accomplishing my second and third degree in a row ...

There was a sudden driving force inside my heart to continue my study in English Education right after I graduated in 2022. The battle in that year and the following year is totally clear in my mind. The time that I spent searching for a university and a scholarship to continue my study. The time to think about what is a better thing to choose and do. The time to work at a school to earn my own money. Then, there was an announcement sent from my parents of a scholarship to pursue teacher professional education; the scholarship was funded by Kemendikbud . I did not think twice about registering my name and followed all of the requirements needed, including writing a lot of essays about my life, my work, and my experience in education. It was a really great memory to remember actually, not mentioning the hard work of opening my laptop all night in a week after a day of working to keep writing an essay :D. Besides, in the same month, I registered myself as a master student at UNILA as wel...

Living gratefully in 1/4 century era

People said that the age of 25 is a quarter-life crisis era; well, that phrase doesn't work for me. Being 25 means facing exciting things in my life, jumping to the next phase of life, and becoming more steady and mindful about life. Realizing that life has gone far that takes me to where I am right now and become who I am right now, I couldn't be more grateful for how Allah wrote down my destiny beautifully. With all of the situations and people in my life up to this point, i'm in awe at how they've shaped me into the person I am today. All the ups and downs, the laughs and cries, the weird and marvelous moments. I learned a lot from what I've been through. I will never become the person I am today if there wasn't any time in my past. I'm content with how I've spent my life. I focus on myself, work on my skills, make experiences, and spend quality time with people around me. I study and strive with my education and career, building myself to be a woman ...
