Have you ever been to Batusangkar ? Now, you must go there because Batusangkar is a wonderful city in West Sumatera. It is not a big city and the weather is nice. Every year, many tourists visit there because it has many interesting places, such as : “Rumah Gadang”, Ombilin river and “Batu Angkek-angkek”.
First,”Rumah Gadang” is the traditional house of West Sumatera, it is located in Pagaruyung, 4 kilometers from Batusangkar city. It is a very large house and it has “gonjong” on the roof. It is very unique because the construction of this house is like a ship. There, we can see history things and history books of Minangkabau, named is “Tambo Alam Minangkabau” and we can also take a photo by wearing the traditional clothes of West Sumatera. But, now “Rumah Gadang” is recovering because it was burned by thunder about 2 years ago.
Second, Ombilin river, 15 kilometers from Batusangkar city, it is the beautiful and clean river. Near the river, we can see Singkarak Lake, from there, we can enjoy the scenery of the mountain and get the fresh air. On the weekend we can go there with the partners or family.
Third, we can see “Batu angkek-angkek” in Sungayang. The people believe, if we can to lift up the stone, all of our dreams will be come true. But, until now, I still confused about it. So, let’s visit Batusangkar soon. I am sure, many people will feel comfortable in Batusangkar and will not bored there.
