Salinan dari remember_20250426_001938_0000.png

Hello everyone, how are you? I hope you are all well. Recently, I was in Bandung, and I visited a park. This park is called Badak Park, and on the edge of Badak Park there is Dewi Sartika Park. Well, what I want to review is Badak Park. Where this park has a body monument in the middle of the park.

After being investigated, Badak Park or the Badak Monument, has been inaugurated since 1981 by one of the incumbent mayors, the incumbent mayor of Bandung. Well, what is interesting is that there is a philosophy why choosing the Badak. Until now, the monument is present in the city of Bandung, and continues to be preserved by subsequent mayors.

A long time ago, in several places in the city of Bandung there were several wild animals, and one of them was the rhinoceros. And there is also one place in the city of Bandung with the name Cibadak. And that indicates that the place is where the rhino lives.

Well, that is also why the rhinoceros was chosen as a monument to the city of Bandung. Another most philosophical thing is that these rhinos became extinct because of the unclean air. So in 1981, the mayor erected this monument to remind Bandung families to live healthily.

On the other hand, there is also a very deep philosophy behind this rhino. This rhino is also a symbol of the longing of Bandung residents to have healthy, cool, and orderly air, where Bandung used to be known as a very orderly place, a very cool place, and a very clean place.

And this place indicates that a number of animals also live around Bandung. Bandung is a basin, or a basin area, where the air is cold. And today Bandung is a little hotter than when I was little.

On the other hand, this place is also very opposite a park called Dewi Sartika. In this Dewi Sartika park, there are also a number of animals that are kept from chickens, pigeons, turkeys and so on. In the past, there were deer in this park. But, now there are none.

There is also a monument to Dewi Sartika as one of the female figures from Bandung. On the other hand, this Badap Park also has a number of very large trees and Tamanan which make the Badak Park and Dewi Sartika Park even cooler.

On the edge of this is rhinoceros Park there are also children's recreation, swings, slides, and so on. This is also what makes this park interesting. On the other hand, this park also allows us to have recreation, relax, moreover we can also enjoy the weapons in the city of Bandung.

Wow, A beautiful insight about the park. It’s awesome how a simple monument can carry so much meaning. I love how the rhino monument symbolizes Bandung Park's hope for a cleaner, healthier future.
