MY HOMETOWN, MY TOUR TOWN

       I think all of citizens in West Sumatera almost know about my hometown. It’s in Agam regency where Bukittinggi is the town about 2-3 hours from Padang. My hometown has distance between 2 km from the town center. Its periphery town and so near with city hall in Gulai Bancah. Now, I will describe about my hometown, especially its tourist place.

       My hometown has cool climate because it is between the mountain range Merapi-Singgalang. It is makes some people have job like a farmer and seller. If we talking about Agam and Bukittinggi, we’ll talking about beautiful nature and tourist area. As we know, Bukittinggi has many histories like its buildings for instance jam gadang, Bung Hatta’s house, japan hole, etc. we also get beautiful view from Panorama, Sianok canyon, Kinantan zoo, Fort De Cock’s bastion,etc.

       Agam also has many interesting tourist areas like Bukittinggi. Firstly, there are not far from my house, Ngalau Tarang and a mysterious small lake that we called Tarusan lake. It is called mysterious lake because its water can come and lost suddenly in midnight without anyone know how the process happend. It is signed by loud sound from the lake, and so many mistics story about that lake. Secondly, the new interesting place is great wall of Koto Gadang that has long range in Sianok canyon, it’s like the great wall of China. Thirdly, it is grafity travel from Bukittinggi until Maninjau lake, you’ll see the beautiful view in Ambun Pagi, Puncak Lawang, and the road that can make you dizzy in Kelok 44.

       We can conclude, there are so many places where you can visit it in my hometown. It’s the reasons why so many tourists visit it from our country and another country. I’m so proud with my hometown and I’ll keep and love my hometown forever.
