My Lovely Hometown

My hometown is a beautiful place around the coastal area. It is located in Southern Pesisir. It has many green hills and clean water. Some of them are famous in the world. They are Cingkuak  Island, a legendary Island of  Indonesia, 

Carocok Beach, Jembatan Akar, and Bukik Langkisau. There are more interesting spots, but people do not know them before. They are Tembulun and Batu Kalang Beach.

          The first spot is about Tembulun. Tembulun is the sort of Tepian Mandi Beralun-alun. It is located in Tambulun, Painan, Southern Pesisir, Indonesia; about 75 kilometers from The Padang City. It is only about 3 hours driving. According to the name, people think that it is a swimming area, but it is not different. It is a river under the hills. The fantastic one is people can see many beautiful waterfalls which one of them has 7 meters in lenght. It looks like a way for climbing a mountain area. Visitors will not find a forest, but only the waterfalls. If everyone climbs the top of the hill, they will find more beautiful waterfalls. If they reach the top of the waterfall, they can find a small swimming pool likes a lake. It is awesome! Besides, if they go down, there is a hole that the water is hot. There, they even can boil an egg. Then, if they want to stay for having lunch or having meals, they can go to the park beside the waterfall. There, people can enjoy their meals and take some photos around the area. Morever, the ticket for Tembulun spot is only Rp 2,500.

          The second spot is Batu Kalang. It is a beach in Ampang Pulai, Tarusan, Southern Pesisir. It is about 55 kilometers driving. Actually the topography is similar to the beaches in Southern Pesisir that has clean water, beautiful corals, and sceneries. However, it can not be used for sports like diving and surfing, even more swimming. The water in the middle of the sea only reachs people’s ankle. Therefore, they can walk in the middle of the sea without sink underwater. Based on the history, it is called The Dead Sea. It consists of the rock corals on the surface of the sea. The best part is there is no cost for it.

          In conclusion, Southern Pesisir still has fantastic spots which are not popular yet, but they are important history to be known for the domestic or foreign people. They are Tembulun and Batu Kalang.
