Wisata Belanja di Kampung Cina

2011-07-12T19:10:00.001-07:00

Kampung Cina berada dalam kawasan perumahan Kota Wisata Cibubur. Untuk menuju Kampung Cina, Anda akan melewati deretan rumah-rumah mewah dengan ciri khas dari berbagai negara. Ada pula taman-taman dengan patung-patung unik yang khas seperti patung liberty, orang Indian dan patung lainnya.

Kampung Cina bisa dibilang sebagai tempat belanja yang menarik karena bangunan semua kios di kawasan ini menggunakan arsitektur Cina, begitu pula dengan warna merah dominan yang identik dengan kebudayaan Cina. Pada pintu masuk, terdapat gerbang yang mirip dengan pintu masuk sebuah kota yang ada di Cina yaitu Kota Terlarang. Gerbang ini berbentuk setengah lingkaran dan disebut Gerbang Kemakmuran.

Ada pula patung orang-orang Cina lengkap dengan pakaian dan rambut layaknya yang dipakai di Cina. Selain itu terdapat jembatan dengan sungai dibawahnya dan ikan mas. Tempat ini memang dibuat menyerupai negeri tirai bambu. Sepanjang perjalanan, terdapat kursi-kursi dari batu dan patung-patung lainnya sehingga nuansa perkampungan Cina tetap terasa. Pernak-pernik yang dijual berhubungan dengan konsep yang ada, yaitu barang-barang yang menggambarkan negara Cina. Yang paling banyak dijual adalah baju chongsam (baju merah dengan kerah dan kancing khas orang Tionghoa), payung, tas, dompet dengan bordiran khas Cina, patung-patung untuk pajangan dan pernak-pernik lainnya. Tetapi, ada pula kios-kios yang menjual topi atau tas yang tidak bernuansa negeri Cina.

Barang yang dijual antara satu kios dengan kios yang lain tidak jauh berbeda. Harga yang ditawarkan juga hampir sama dan tidak bisa ditawar terlalu banyak. Para penjual di sini tidak memanfaatkan keadaan dengan mematok harga yang terlalu tinggi. Mungkin inilah sebabnya masih banyak orang yang senang untuk berbelanja di sini. Pengunjung bisa membeli pernak-pernik yang unik dengan harga yang tidak terlalu mahal.

Wisata Keluarga di Kampung Cina

Pada bagian belakang kawasan Kampung Cina terdapat danau dengan sepeda air berbentuk bebek serta perahu motor yang akan mengajak Anda berkeliling di atas air danau. Kurang lebih, 1 perahu ini dapat menampung 12 orang. Ada pula kawasan yang disebut "Fantasy Island" dimana terdapat replika dinosaurus yang besar. Ini dapat menjadi tempat favorit untuk anak-anak.

Bila Anda merasa lapar, ada pula kios-kios yang menjual makanan untuk mengisi perut Anda. Di dekat danau ada food court yang menyediakan makanan ringan seperti bakso, gorengan, siomay, es durian dan jenis lainnya.

5 Tempat menarik di Paris

2011-07-12T18:53:00.000-07:00

1. Menara Eiffel

Tempat wisata ini adalah hasil rangkaian 18.083 besi yang dibangun antara 1887 dan 1889. Meski dibangun untuk merayakan seabad revolusi Perancis, pembuatannya sendiri mengundang kritik dari seluruh Perancis. Kalangan seniman menilai tidak adanya keindahan dari Eiffel, sedang para arsitektur mendebat ketahanan angin pada strukturnya. Meski begitu, ikon Perancis ini tetap setia dikunjungi jutaan orang setiap tahun. Mungkin lebih banyak orang yang ingin melihat Paris dari ketinggian 275 meter lewat Dek Observasi, termasuk Tom Cruise yang melamar Katie Holmes di restoran yang terkenal romantis.

2.Arch de Triomphe

Di ujung lain Champ Elysee, tempat wisata yang akan agan temukan adalah bangunan menyerupai gapura besar. Arch de Triomphe dibangun Napoleon pada 1806 sebagai simbol kemenangan Perancis. Sayangnya, "Si Pendek" Napoleon keburu digulingkan sebelum bangunan ini rampung didirikan.

3.Champ Elysee

Menjadi salah satu kawasan elit di Paris yang digunakan sebagai tempat wisata. Di sini agan akan menemukan etalase berisi barang dan parfum ternama, selain cafe-cafe mahal yang berjejer di sepanjang jalan. Kenyamanan pedestrian juga terjamin, mengingat lebarnya bagian trotoar di sini. Dulunya, bilangan ini pernah digunakan tentara Sekutu untuk berpawai merayakan kemenangan pada PD II.

4.Place de la Concorde

Lain lagi dengan cerita Place de la Concorde . Tempat wisata yang merupakan alun-alun terluas di Paris ini, dibangun pada 1755 di lahan seluas 86.400 meter. Ciri khas tempat ini adalah monumen dan air mancur. Dulunya, kaum bangsawan tertawa-tawa sambil menonton eksekusi terbuka para penjahat hingga penentang kerajaan. Pasca Revolusi Perancis, ganti wajah-wajah para borjuis itu yang murung menghadapi eksekusi. Nama tempat wisata ini sendiri berubah beberapa kali. Dimulai dari "Place Louis XV", "Place de la Révolution", dan terakhir "Place de la Concorde" sebagai simbol rekonsiliasi.

5.Musee Du Louvre

Museum Louvre merupakan salah satu museum seni terbesar di seluruh dunia. Jika anda tidak menyukai seni, tetapi ingin memenuhi rasa ingin tahu anda akan lukisan Monalisa (di Paris disebut “la joconde”), atau mungkin tertarik karena buku “The da vinci Code”, anda tetap harus masuk ke museum ini. Dahulu gedung yang dijadikan museum Louvre adalah istana (Palais de Louvre) yang dibangun tahun 1190 dan mengalami tahap penyelesaian menjadi seperti gedung yang terlihat saat ini di tahun 1870. Dan tahun 1989 arsitektur Amerika asal China, I.M Pei membuat piramida kaca yang dijadikan salah satu dari 3 pintu masuk.

Untuk bisa menikmati Museum yang memamerkan lebih dari 35000 obyek seni dari jaman pra-sejarah hingga abad ke-19 ini, anda harus datang pagi-pagi sekitar jam 09.00 karena antrian yang panjang, dan anda pasti tidak akan menyia-nyiakan uang 9 euro anda setelah membayar tiket masuk.

Gunung Patuha - Kawah Putih Bandung

2011-06-11T19:58:00.000-07:00

Gunung Patuha adalah gunung yang berada di Bandung Selatan, tepatnya di daerah Rancabali, Ciwidey. Objek wisata yang menarik dari gunung ini adalah Kawah Putih.

Pendakian Gunung Patuha telah direncanakan sejak awal April 2005, dan baru dilaksanakan pada tanggal 1 Mei 2005. Pendakian direncanakan dengan menebas hutan, saya tuliskan dalam email di kantor; dengan informasi tentang Kawah Putih yang saya tulis lebih banyak, supaya banyak teman yang bersemangat untuk ikut.Sesuai dengan perjanjian, kami berkumpul di kantor, jam 05.30; tetapi biasa kebiasaan buruk saya membuat tim menjadi terlambat.

Di kantor telah berkumpul teman-teman: Abdul Fattah, Arief, Fadli, Indarum, dan Wawan. Andriansyah, Ogun, dan Rusydan menunggu di terminal antar kota Leuwipanjang. Perjanjian bertemu di depan bus yang akan berangkat ke arah Ciwidey.

Tim berjumlah seluruhnya 9 orang. Tim dari kantor baru berangkat jam 06.10, sampai di Pasar Simpang Dago, saya belanja makanan kecil - odading - terlebih dahulu, karena belum makan pada saat berangkat dari rumah. Saya borong odadaing yang tersisa seharga 5 ribu rupiah.

Kami naik angkutan kota (angkot) Dago - Kalapa. Kebetulan, setelah melewati jalan Merdeka, isi angkot tersisa tim kami saja. Saya tanya kepada supir, apakah berani mengantar kami sampai ke Rancabali? Si supir, masih muda, berkata bahwa dia berani saja.

"Sabaraha?". (Berapa?).
"Kumaha Bapak wae", jawab supir. (Bagaimana bapak saja).
"Lima puluh rebu nya?", kata saya. (Lima puluh ribu ya..)
"Ulah sakitu atuh Pak, tambihan kanggo bensinna", kata supir. (Jangan segitu dong Pak, tambah lagi untuk bensinnya".
"Tos, genep lima", kata saya (Sudah enam puluh lima ribu saja).
Supir setuju.
"Ngan urang nyimpang heula ka Leuwi Panjang, da aya rerencangan anu ngantosan di ditu", kata saya. (Tapi kita harus ke terminal Leuwi Panjang terlebih dahulu, karena ada beberapa teman menunggu di sana).

Sepanjang jalan, saya dan Arief mencoba kontak teman-teman yang sudah menunggu di terminal, untuk segera menuju pinggir jalan, karena kita mencarter mobil angkot. Ogun dan Andri berangkat sendiri-senidri, sehingga kami mengontak secara orang per orang, karena ternyata mereka belum saling bertemu. Sebelum sampai di terminal, Andri berhasil dikontak dan suadh bergerak menuju pinggir jalan yang saya tentukan; tetapi Ogun tidak bisa dikontak-kontak; ternyata HP-nya di dalam tas, dan keadaan ramai sehingga tidak terdengar. So, kami belum ada kontak dengan Ogun. Rusydan dikontak ke HP-nya, ternyata ditinggal di rumah.

Sesampai di terminal Leuwi Panjang, saya coba kontak lagi Andri; karena ternyata salah tempat, dia berada di jalur seberang angkot kami. Ogun akhirnya berhasil dikontak juga, posisinya sudah tepat di depan bis yang akan berangkat ke Ciwidey. Kemudian kita bertemu di depan ATM Bank BCA yang ada di depan terminal Leuwi Panjang. Rusydan ternyata telah bertemu dengan Ogun, so, lengkap sudah tim kami.

Perjalanan dilanjutkan menuju Rancabali. Kami sekali berhenti untuk mengisi bensin, di daerah sebelum masuk ke Ciwidey.

Di Ciwidey, kami berhenti sebentar untuk membeli golok, makanan dan minuman bagi yang belum membawa bekal yang cukup.

Saya membeli 2 buah golok kerja orang kampung. 40 ribu rupiah dapat 2 golok, cukup murah, walaupun masih bisa ditawar lagi. Teman-teman masih belum sadar benar, mengapa saya memaksakan diri untuk membeli golok, karena beberapa kali naik gunung bersama saya tidak membawa peralatan seperti golok ini.

Setelah membeli golok, saya membeli dua botol air minum 600 ml, dan nasi bungkus dengan tahu dan tempe saja, karena saya tidak membawa bekal makanan selain sebungkus biskuit dan odading yang telah dimakan sebagian oleh teman-teman juga. Teman-teman lain tidak berminat membeli nasi bungkus, so hanya saya yang membawa nasi bungkus.

Dari Ciwidey kami melanjutkan perjalanan, ke arah Rancabali. Supir saya tanya, apakah mau menjemput kami nanti sore, sekitar jam 15-an; setelah saya mengetahui supir ini menjalankan mobil milik bapaknya, dan tidak dikejar target setoran. Supir menyanggupi. Saya kemudian memberitahukan ke lokasi mana dia harus menjemput. Pada saat melewati belokan ke arah Kawah Putih, saya memberitahu supir bahwa dia nanti sore harus masuk ke arah Kawah Putih, sekitar jam 15-an, dan biaya untuk masuk akan saya tambahkan. Kami sendiri tidak masuk ke Kawah Putih, karena kami akan mulai pendakian dari perkebunan teh Rancabali dan akan berakhir di Kawah Putih.

Sekitar 20-menitan dari Ciwidey, kami sampai di perkebunan teh Rancabali. Setelah mengamati daerah yang kami lalui, dengan melihat ke arah Gunung Patuha, maka saya meminta supir untuk berhenti di daerah belokan yang cukup datar, dan pemandangan ke arah Gunung Patuha cukup baik, walaupun pada saat itu Gunung Patuha sedang tertutup kabut; tetapi karena saya masih yakin dengan medan yang dulu saya kenal, semasa mahasiswa, sekitar 15 tahunan yang lalu.

Visitor attractions in New Delhi - India: Part Qutb Minar and Red Fort

2011-02-20T18:44:00.000-08:00

Conference 1 minggu di Kalkuta. Saya melanjutkan perjalanan ke New Delhi, tadinya emang ga ada rencana untuk pergi ke kota ini tapi berhubung tidak ada direct plane ke Jerman jadi harus pake penerbangan di new Delhi, saya pikir sayang banget kalo kesempatan ini terlewatkan, akhirnya saya spend 1 hari di sana. Sampai di bandara New Delhi kira-kira jam 11 siang. kemudian saya menggunakan kendaraan 'tuk tuk' alias bemo (mobil mini 3 roda) total 1300 rupee untuk keliling new Delhi dan si 'tuk tuk' menemani saya berjalan-jalan berkeliling kota Delhi. Dan si 'tuk tuk' dengan setia menunggu saya jika ada spot yang saya suka. New Delhi kota metropolitannya ala India..lumayan lah setiap spot jaraknya sangat berjauhan, dan macet...persis Jakarta. Sebenernya harga 'tuk tuk' lebih mahal dibandingkan taksi yang harganya sekitar 1050 rupee. Waktu yang saya miliki sangat terbatas hanya 6 jam di New Delhi, dengan macet mungkit spot yang saya kunjungi akan sedikit. Akhirnya saya memilih 'Tuk tuk 'karna lebih fleksibel.
Rute yang saya kunjungi Qutb minar, Lotus temple, India Gate, Ja'ma Mesjid dan Red Fort.

Rute pertama adalah Qutb Minar. Tiket masuk untuk turis mancanegara sekitar 150 rupee , sedangkan untuk turis lokal 10 rupee...perbandingan yg sangat jauh.
Qutb Minar adalah sebuah menara yang berada di New Delhi - India. Qutb Minar merupakan menara yang terbuat dari batu pasir dengan ketinggian ketinggian 72,5 meter (237,8 kaki). Konstruksi ini dimulai setelah kemenangan umat Islam atas Hindu tahun 1200., dan untuk merayakan kemenangan raja Mohammed Ghori dari Afghanistan terhadap raja Rajputs tahun 1192.
Sejak tahun 1993 tempat ini dinyatakan sebagai bagian dari warisan budaya dunia oleh UNESCO. Tempat ini sangat luas. Saya waktu cukup lama disini. Disana saya dapat kenalan orang Polandia yang bekerja di IBM UK, jadi lah kami bersama jalan-jalan dan saling memoto.
Saya sangat impesif melihat tempat wisata di India. Bagaimana tidak sisa kejayaan Islam masih kokoh berdiri disana. Dengan relief-relief Al Quran yang menghiasi tembok Qutb Minar.

Stepping on India Tourism Objects

2011-02-20T18:31:00.000-08:00

Glamorous, full of romance and feel of beautiful art, that India lives in Bollywood films. Many of course asks, really like it real life in India. Lives of most people in India are very far from the truth''''with what is shown in Bollywood films. Nevertheless, there are still lessons to be learned to be a lesson or comparison. Perhaps, travel journalist, I Nyoman Sugiarta Bali Post that following the "ASEAN-India Media Exchange Programme (ASEAN Media Visit to India)" 23 November to 2 December 2006 to give actual conditions there.

Departure from Denpasar, Bali with Singapore airlines, I have to transit a few hours in Singapore airport, before traveling to New Delhi. I landed at the IG International Airport in New Delhi at midnight. Here was beginning to look a difference between what is presented in Bollywood films. The condition of the airport in New Delhi this looks very old, appears without structuring and restructuring. Very much different than the Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali. In the dim evening, all the way to the hotel where I stay, the condition of slums was visible. Like a cliff in the area of Ubud, the gap between human settlements around the hotel looked so tall and wide.

In the morning, I met with delegations from other countries in the ASEAN region. We all received N. Venkataraman, Head of State Publications Publications Division, Indian Foreign Kemeterian. He was the only person who accompanied our trip for a few days exploring some tourist and industrial center in India. There was no response from the local media there, let alone their visits to the editorial. This could give rise to protests, because the title of this program is the''ASEAN-India Media Exchange Programme''. But as fatigue and burnout visit very, very solid, we forget about the problem.

Venkarataman then invited us to meet Indian Foreign Secretary N Ravi. Krodit atmosphere because of the multitude of men, though perfectly sound riuhnya vehicles ranging from motorcycles, bemo tricycle, taxi, private car or bus. More perfect, since almost all motor vehicle that emits a loud and long horn. New Delhi as the capital of India's independence in 1947, it has a very dense population. Originally the population of New Delhi is only about 0.6 million inhabitants, but as its development as a metropolitan city, its population now reaching 14 million people is more a result of urbanization. And, almost 99 percent of the population rely on motor vehicles as a means of transportation, only about one percent use the train.

Economics and IT
Many things related to cooperation in economic, industrial, technology, particularly information technology (IT), including tourism which we dialogkan between delegations from Asean journalists with N Ravi. Concerning this matter, India is very much shot. Especially after we visited and met directly with some of the sector actors. For example in India Habitat Centre, we met with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII, a sort of Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia - ed) which has about 60,000 members. One of them with the Society of Indian Automobile Manufactureres (SIAM).

"One of them with Indonesia, in automotive sector related to tourism, we organize Indonesia - Asian Car Relly. This is also in order to promote in particular the automotive business," said Director General of the Society of Indian Automobile Manufactureres (SIAM), Dilip Chenoy.

We also briefly visited the Delhi Metro, a fast train control center in New Delhi to address the transportation problems in this region. Also visit the Indian information technology, HI-Tech City, an international business school the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad International Convention Centre, Indian drug company association PHARMEXIL. Apparently, Indonesia became the fourth largest importer of medicines from India after Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines.

In Bangalore, we are invited to visit the Infosys Campus, the center of aerospace (satellite manufacturing, etc..) Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and place of manufacture of helicopters. Apparently, satellites and helicopters are also to be exported, including to Indonesia. We also visited a factory that produces various TVS Motor motorcycles and now also invest in Indonesia.

In Mumbai (onions), we visited the Tata Consultancy Services Hqrs. one of whose production is widely used Indian society is a sedan. Larsen & Toubro also visited the headquarters of many oil producing various exploration purposes and the like, especially offshore. For all of these matters, must be recognized in the ASEAN countries are still far less even lags behind India. Indonesia and other countries in the region should learn a lot from this country's Gandhi.

Local Tourists
Lessons can also be learned from India's ability to optimize the potential of local tourists. India sells a variety of historical heritage to the tourists. More interestingly, the dominant attending various heritage objects that are local tourists from various Indian states.
In the Heroes Cemetery in New Delhi, for example, local tourists seemed crowded even have to queue. In fact, the parliament building (Parliament here - ed) was crowded domestic tourists. This scene also appears in the Hussein Sagar Lake is at its center stands a statue of Buddha and the statue of Shiva. "On average 1,000 people per day visit here," said Somaiah, tour guide who accompanied us. Riot local and international tourists looking at the Taj Mahal. "This place is a romantic place. Who comes here nearly 7,000 people per day. Taj Mahal done by Isac Han Effendi, a Turkish architect," said tour guide there.

Another interesting tourist attraction, Charminar, which is an old mosque and built combines Hindu and Islamic architecture. Similarly, Mysore Palace, an historic heritage building the King of Mysore. Other places are "sold" almost everything in the form of historic relics. And who came berkunujung mostly local tourists from other states of India. This is where their advantages in utilizing and optimizing the local potential.

The less pleasant, almost at every crossroads and on every tourist attraction surrounded by beggars and traders acung. They not only lifted the hand, even the busy-busy banging on the car door or pulling at hand. They also exploit their children to go begging. In fact, there are beggars tend to "do business". Because the author's experience, they do not want to be given money, but ask for a variety of goods bought in the supermarket or mall. Perhaps this is not enviable, especially to Bali.
