Bukittingi (Sumatra)

I have 3 times visit to “ Bukit tinggi “, a small town in west of sumatra a fresh tube and keep the natural, Bukit tinggi can be reached in 2 hours from the Minangkabau international airport, through “Padang panjang “ that is also cool.
Bukit tinggi is one of the city which is very historic in the struggle of the Indonesian people drive out imperialist.Historic heritage sites and the physical struggle of the revolution still here. One of them is the House of "Bung Hatta" (one of the leaders proclamation of independence of Indonesia), many other historic buildings, one of which is "Jam gadang" Building the hours that have been laying very old. Some people say that big clock is not broken a bit when the earthquake in west Sumatra some time ago.If you enjoy shopping do not forget to visit the market town tour around the “Jam gadang “, almost all goods and souvenirs typical of western Sumatra is available here, the price is very cheap, also visit the zoo because it is near from the center of Bukit tinggi , you only need to run feet a few minutes only, if you do not understand the direction the road should not be reluctant to ask the community here, people here are very friendly, they still adhere to adapt nuances of local tradition of Islam, so if you're dating this place, keep adapt their tradition, as long as you still adapt their respect, you will feel safe here.
