The Beautiful View of Kelok Sembilan, West Sumatra, Like a small town located in the middle of the forest.
Hi friends, we meet again in this wonderful community. I hope you are all well and able to carry out your daily activities as usual.
I'm back to share with you all. It's certainly a pleasure to see another side of the world, which has its own unique beauty, and we discover it here by sharing.
Today I'm sharing a stunning view I captured during my trip. This tourist destination is located in the middle of a forest, right along a road accessible by land, called Kelok Sembilan, West Sumatra. Even those heading to Pekan Baru or vice versa will surely pass through Kelok Sembilan, West Sumatra.
This trip passed through forests on both sides of the road, so I didn't take any photos of the journey within the forest area. However, when passing through an area that resembled a small town, I took a few photos, especially as the road began to become congested and traffic began to slow down. It was already quite dark, and this was a forested area with dense, tall trees. The Android camera wasn't very sharp at capturing images.
There were many road users parked here, but they could have been visiting or were passing through the area, like me. There's certainly something interesting here that draws people to stop by.
A moment later, I immediately understood why they had stopped there. It turned out that right on the side of the road, a stunningly beautiful object was clearly visible, captivating my attention. The waterfall, located right next to the road, was clearly visible, and I could hear its roar even while in my vehicle.
A special road has also been built here, accessible only by walking along the river to get closer to the waterfall. The road is located alongside the highway I and other vehicles were on.
Many people stopped here to take photos or get a closer look, but not me. I was forced to capture the moment from inside my car and had to continue my journey to Kelok Sembilan. It was already late afternoon, and if I arrived at Kelok Sembilan at night, I wouldn't be able to enjoy the panoramic view, and I wouldn't be able to share the pictures with my friends.
I continued my journey, hoping to arrive while it was still light, as the area I had previously traveled was a winding, hilly road.
Well, friends, from afar, I could already see the nine bends, each painted yellow and the bridge red. My final destination was the highest bridge of the nine bends. It was starting to get dark, so I increased my speed a bit to get there quickly.
This red bridge at the top is my target and I will soon arrive there in a few more turns.
Finally, at the end of the day, as the sun began to set and the light was almost gone, I arrived at Kelok Sembilan, West Sumatra. It was like a city in the middle of a forest. Imagine, after driving through the silence of the forest roads, I encountered people enjoying the beautiful natural scenery.
I immediately parked my vehicle and pointed my Android camera at several corners where there was still light. Several bridges, solidly constructed and painted red, stood out in stark contrast, especially amidst the forest's dominant green trees.
I chose the highest bridge for a brief stop, where many people had already arrived. I could even feel the bridge vibrate as large vehicles passed over it, a bit eerie.
This is really beautiful, my friend, especially now that it is almost evening and the shop lights have started to be turned on so that the place looks like a city in the middle of the forest.
I felt like I had found a small town in the forest after a fairly long journey.
I actually wanted to linger here, especially since it was already so crowded, and the scent of the forest carried by the breeze was incredibly refreshing. If I could linger, I would certainly enjoy this peaceful and comfortable atmosphere even longer. However, driving at night is certainly dangerous, especially in an area we've never been through before.
Finally, I decided to move again to get out of the forest area. It was certainly a very enjoyable trip, especially since I stopped and captured some incredibly beautiful tourist attractions along the way.
Finally, I'd like to thank everyone who has visited and viewed my post. See you again in the next post.
