The Uniqueness of Eastern Indonesia

Warm greetings from eastern Indonesia!

From the east of Indonesia stretches the natural beauty that cannot be described with words and sentences, although it must be admitted that the lives of the easterners are still lagging behind in the fields of science and technology but the virginity of natural beauty is still awake and protected. Eastern life is still attached to conventional ways or still using traditional ways based on culture.

Footsteps walk through the beauty of a place that is far from settlements and is in the middle of the wilderness with a position towards the east, there are several buildings built by ancient people, maybe this is a colonial era building according to the story of a building guard when I interacted with him.

From corner to corner of the area there are several buildings that are still maintained and used as a place for various traditional or religious ceremonial activities. The green grass adds to the atmosphere to be very attractive and contrasts with the natural state of the surrounding which is overgrown with trees.

One of the most unique things is the presence of two fairly large stones in front of a building. This large stone is an icon of the location of this religious tourist spot. This is not a lie or a fictitious story but I have to be honest that in this eastern region, life is indeed still tied to cultural elements so that sacred places such as the presence of stones and old buildings are made into tourist attractions or nature reserves because according to the elders these places are sacred. is the residence of the elders or the founding elders of the area. To respect their heritage, places or buildings like this must be guarded and protected.

These two large stones have become icons of religious tourist attractions

The beauty of nature is a form of God's gift to us humans. So that its beauty will not fade, then as people who inhabit the earth must preserve it so that children and grandchildren can feel and enjoy it.
