Konferensi Asia Afrika tahun 1955

2008-08-27T02:02:00.000-07:00

Asian-African or Afro-Asian Conference — also known as the Bandung Conference — was a meeting of Asian and African states, most of which were newly independent, organized by Egypt, Indonesia, Burma, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), India, Iraq, and Japan, which took place on April 18-April 24, 1955, in Bandung, Indonesia, and was coordinated by Ruslan Abdulgani, secretary general of the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The conference's stated aims were to promote Afro-Asian economic and cultural cooperation and to oppose colonialism or neocolonialism by the United States, the Soviet Union, or any other "imperialistic" nation.

Twenty-nine countries representing over half the world's population sent delegates. The conference reflected what they regarded as a reluctance by the Western powers to consult with them on decisions affecting Asia in a setting of Cold War tensions; their concern over tension between the People's Republic of China and the United States; their desire to lay firmer foundations for China's peace relations with themselves and the West; their opposition to colonialism, especially French influence in North Africa and French colonial rule in Algeria; and Indonesia's desire to promote its case in the dispute with the Netherlands over western New Guinea (Irian Barat).

Soekarno, the first president of the Republic of Indonesia, portrayed himself as the leader of this group of nations, naming it NEFOS (Newly Emerging Forces).[1]

Major debate centered around the question of whether Soviet policies in Eastern Europe and Central Asia should be censured along with Western colonialism. A consensus was reached in which "colonialism in all of its manifestations" was condemned, implicitly censuring the Soviet Union, as well as the West. China played an important role in the conference and strengthened its relations with other Asian nations. Having survived an assassination attempt by foreign intelligence services on the way to the conference, the Chinese prime minister, Zhou Enlai, displayed a moderate and conciliatory attitude that tended to quiet fears of some anticommunist delegates concerning China's intentions.

Later in the conference, Zhou Enlai signed on to the article in the concluding declaration stating that overseas Chinese owed primary loyalty to their home nation, rather than to China - a highly sensitive issue for both his Indonesian hosts and for several other participating countries.

A 10-point "declaration on promotion of world peace and cooperation," incorporating the principles of the United Nations Charter and Jawaharlal Nehru's principles, was adopted unanimously:

1. Respect for fundamental human rights and for the purposes and principles of the charter of the United Nations
2. Respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations
3. Recognition of the equality of all races and of the equality of all nations large and small
4. Abstention from intervention or interference in the internal affairs of another country
5. Respect for the right of each nation to defend itself, singly or collectively, in conformity with the charter of the United Nations
6. (a) Abstention from the use of arrangements of collective defence to serve any particular interests of the big powers
(b) Abstention by any country from exerting pressures on other countries
7. Refraining from acts or threats of aggression or the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any country
8. Settlement of all international disputes by peaceful means, such as negotiation, conciliation, arbitration or judicial settlement as well as other peaceful means of the parties own choice, in conformity with the charter of the united nations
9. Promotion of mutual interests and cooperation
10. Respect for justice and international obligations.[2]

The Final Communique of the Conference underscored the need for developing countries to loosen their economic dependence on the leading industrialized nations by providing technical assistance to one another through the exchange of experts and technical assistance for developmental projects, as well as the exchange of technological know-how and the establishment of regional training and research institutes.

The conference of Bandung was preceded by the Bogor Conference (1954) and was followed by the Belgrade Conference (1961), which led to the establishment of the Non-Aligned Movement.[3] In later years, conflicts between the nonaligned nations eroded the solidarity expressed at Bandung.

To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Conference, Heads of State and Government of Asian-African countries attended a new Asian-African Summit from 20-24 April 2005 in Bandung and Jakarta. Some sessions of the new conference took place in Gedung Merdeka (Independence Building), the venue of the original conference. The conference concluded by establishing the New Asian-African Strategic Partnership (NAASP).

Historical Walk

Langkah bersejarah delegasi Indonesia

Sekitar pukul 08.30 WIB, para delegasi dari berbagai negara berjalan meninggalkan Hotel Homann dan Hotel Preanger menuju Gedung Merdeka secara berkelompok untuk menghadiri pembukaan Konferensi Asia Afrika. Banyak di antara mereka memakai pakaian nasional masing-masing yang beraneka corak dan warna. Mereka disambut hangat oleh rakyat yang berderet di sepanjang Jalan Asia Afrika dengan tepuk tangan dan sorak sorai riang gembira. Perjalanan para delegasi dari Hotel Homann dan Hotel Preanger ini kemudian dikenal dengan nama “Langkah Bersejarah” (The Bandung Walks). Kira-kira pukul 09.00 WIB, semua delegasi masuk ke dalam Gedung Merdeka.

Tidak lama kemudian rombongan Presiden dan Wakil Presiden Indonesia, Soekarno dan Mohammad Hatta, tiba di depan Gedung Merdeka dan disambut oleh rakyat dengan sorak-sorai dan pekik "merdeka". Di depan pintu gerbang Gedung Merdeka kedua pemimpin Pemerintah Indonesia itu disambut oleh lima perdana menteri negara sponsor.

Pembukaan KAA

Presiden Indonesia, Soekarno, menyampaikan pidato Pembukaan
Konferensi Asia Afrika, 18 April 1955
Pada pukul 10.20 WIB setelah diperdengarkan lagu kebangsaan Indonesia : "Indonesia Raya", Presiden Indonesia, Soekarno, mengucapkan pidato pembukaan yang berjudul "Let a New Asia And a New Africa be Born" (Mari Kita Lahirkan Asia Baru dan Afrika Baru). Dalam kesempatan tersebut Presiden Soekarno menyatakan bahwa kita, peserta konferensi, berasal dari kebangsaan yang berlainan, begitu pula latar belakang sosial dan budaya, agama, sistem politik, bahkan warna kulit pun berbeda-beda, namun kita dapat bersatu, dipersatukan oleh pengalaman pahit yang sama akibat kolonialisme, oleh ketetapan hati yang sama dalam usaha mempertahankan dan memperkokoh perdamaian dunia. Pada bagian akhir pidatonya beliau mengatakan :Saya berharap konferensi ini akan menegaskan kenyataan, bahwa kita, pemimpin-pemimpin Asia dan Afrika, mengerti bahwa Asia dan Afrika hanya dapat menjadi sejahtera, apabila mereka bersatu, dan bahkan keamanan seluruh dunia tanpa persatuan Asia Afrika tidak akan terjamin. Saya harap konferensi ini akan memberikan pedoman kepada umat manusia, akan menunjukkan kepada umat manusia jalan yang harus ditempuhnya untuk mencapai keselamatan dan perdamaian. Saya berharap, bahwa akan menjadi kenyataan, bahwa Asia dan Afrika telah lahir kembali. Ya, lebih dari itu, bahwa Asia Baru dan Afrika Baru telah lahir!

Pidato tersebut berhasil menarik perhatian dan mempengaruhi hadirin yang dibuktikan dengan adanya usul Perdana Menteri India dan didukung oleh semua peserta konferensi untuk mengirimkan pesan ucapan terimakasih kepada presiden atas pidato pembukaannya.

Pada pukul 10.45 WIB., Presiden Indonesia, Soekarno, mengakhiri pidatonya, dan selanjutnya sidang dibuka kembali. Secara aklamasi, Perdana Menteri Indonesia terpilih sebagai ketua konferensi. Selain itu, Ketua Sekretariat Bersama, Roeslan Abdulgani, dipilih sebagai sekretaris jenderal konferensi.

Sidang konferensi terdiri atas sidang terbuka untuk umum dan sidang tertutup hanya bagi peserta konferensi. Dibentuk tiga komite, yaitu Komite Politik, Komite Ekonomi, dan Komite Kebudayaan. Semua kesepakatan tersebut selanjutnya disetujui oleh sidang dan susunan pemimpin konferensi adalah sebagai berikut :

Ketua Konferensi
Ali Sastroamidjojo, Perdana Menteri Indonesia
Ketua Komite Politik
Ali Sastroamidjojo, Perdana Menteri Indonesia
Ketua Komite Ekonomi
Roosseno, Menteri Perekonomian Indonesia
Ketua Komite
Kebudayaan
Muhammad Yamin, Menteri Pendidikan, Pengajaran, dan Kebudayaan Indonesia
Sekretaris Jenderal
Konferensi
Roeslan Abdulgani, Sekretaris Jenderal Kementerian Luar Negeri Indonesia

Dalam sidang-sidang selanjutnya muncul beberapa kesulitan yang bisa diduga sebelumnya. Kesulitan-kesulitan itu terutama terjadi dalam sidang-sidang Komite Politik. Perbedaan pandangan politik dan masalah-masalah yang dihadapi antara Negara-negara Asia Afrika muncul ke permukaan, bahkan sampai pada tahap yang relatif panas.

Namun berkat sikap yang bijaksana dari pimpinan sidang serta hidupnya rasa toleransi dan kekeluargaan di antara peserta konferensi, maka jalan buntu selalu dapat dihindari dan pertemuan yang berlarut-larut dapat diakhiri.

Bandung History

2008-08-27T01:02:00.000-07:00

The earliest reference to the city dates back to 1488, but archaeological findings suggest a type of Homo erectus species had lived on the banks of the Cikapundung River and around the old lake of Bandung.[10] During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) opened plantations in the Bandung area.

A supply road connecting Batavia (now Jakarta), Bogor, Cianjur, Bandung, Sumedang and Cirebon was built in 1786. In 1809, Louis Napoleon, the ruler of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and its colonies, ordered the Dutch Indies Governor H.W. Daendels to increase the defensive systems of Java against the British from India. Daendels built a road, stretching approximately 1,000 km (621 miles) from the west to the east coast of Java, and passing through Bandung.[11][12] In 1810, the road was laid down in Bandung and was named De Groote Postweg (or the 'main post road'), the present-day site of Asia-Afrika Street.

Under Daendels' orders, R.A. Wiranatakusumah II, the chief administration of the Bandung regency at that time, moved its office from Krapyak, in the south, to a place near a pair of holy city wells (sumur Bandung), the present-day site of the city square (alun-alun). He built his dalem (palace), masjid agung (the grand mosque) and pendopo (public-official meeting place) in the classical orientation.[13] The pendopo faces Tangkuban Perahu mountain, which was believed to have a mystical ambience.

In 1880, the first major railroad between Batavia and Bandung was built,[14] boosting light industry in Bandung. Chinese workers from outside the city flocked in, to help run facilities, services and selling vendor machines. The old Chinatown district in Bandung is still recognisable in the railroad station vicinity. In 1906, Bandung was given the status of gemeente (municipality) and then later as stadsgemeente (city municipality) in 1926.

In the beginning of the 1920s, the Dutch East Indies government made plans to move the capital of Dutch East Indies from Batavia to Bandung. Accordingly, during this decade, the Dutch colonial government started building military barracks, the central government building (Gouvernments Bedrijven, the present-day Gedung Sate) and other government buildings. This plan, however, was cut short by World War II after which the Dutch were not able to re-established their colony.

The fertile area of the Parahyangan Mountains surrounding Bandung supports productive tea plantations. In the nineteenth century, Franz Junghuhn introduced the cinchona (kina) plant.[15] With its cooler elevated landscape, surrounded by major plantations, Bandung became an exclusive European resort area.[16] Rich plantation owners visited the city on weekends, attracting girls and businessmen from the capital, Batavia. Braga Street grew into a promenade street with cafes, restaurants and boutique shops. Two art-deco style hotels, Savoy Homann and Preanger, were built in the vicinity of the Concordia Society, a club house for the wealthy with a large ballroom and a theatre. The nickname "Parijs van Java" was given to the city.

After the Indonesian Independence in 1945, Bandung was determined as the capital of West Java province. During the 1945–1949 independence struggle against the Dutch when they wanted to reclaim their colonies, Bandung was one of the heaviest battle places. The Dutch military commander set an ultimatum for the Indonesian combatants in Bandung to leave the city. In response, on 24 March 1946, much of the southern part of Bandung was deliberately set alight as the combatants left; an event known as the Bandung Lautan Api or 'Bandung Sea of Flame'.

In 1955, the first Asian-African Conference -- also known as the Bandung Conference -- was held in Bandung, attended by head of states representing twenty-nine countries and colonies from Asia and Africa. The conference venue was at the Gedung Merdeka, the former Concordia Society building. The conference announced 10 points of declaration on world peace promotion and oppositions against colonialism, known as the Declaration of Bandung, which followed by wave of nationalism movements around the globe and remapped the world politics. The conference was also the first international conference of colored people in the history of mankind. Richard Wright in his book, The Color Curtain, captured the epic meanings of the conference for people of color around the world. Even black freedom movement activists in the United States referred Bandung as Afro-Asian solidarity in 1960s.

In 1987, the city boundary was expanded with the Greater Bandung (Bandung Raya) plan; a relocation of higher concentration development outside the city in an attempt to dilute some of population in the old city. During its development, however, the city core is often uprooted, old faces are torn down, lot sizes regrouped, and what was idyllic residence is bustling chain supermarkets and rich banks.

Additional In Indonesian Language

Mengenai asal-usul nama "Bandung", dikemukakan berbagai pendapat. Sebagian mengatakan bahwa, kata "Bandung" dalam bahasa Sunda, identik dengan kata "banding" dalam Bahasa Indonesia, berarti berdampingan. Ngabanding (Sunda) berarti berdampingan atau berdekatan. Hal ini antara lain dinyatakan dalam Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia terbitan Balai Pustaka (1994) dan Kamus Sunda-Indonesia terbitan Pustaka Setia (1996), bahwa kata bandung berarti berpasangan dan berarti pula berdampingan.

Pendapat lain mengatakan, bahwa kata "bandung" mengandung arti besar atau luas. Kata itu berasal dari kata bandeng. Dalam bahasa Sunda, ngabandeng berarti genangan air yang luas dan tampak tenang, namun terkesan menyeramkan. Diduga kata bandeng itu kemudian berubah bunyi menjadi Bandung. Ada pendapat lain yang menyatakan bahwa kata Bandung berasal dari kata bendung.

Pendapat-pendapat tentang asal dan arti kata Bandung, rupanya berkaitan dengan peristiwa terbendungnya aliran Sungai Citarum purba di daerah Padalarang oleh lahar Gunung Tangkuban Parahu yang meletus pada masa holosen (± 6000 tahun yang lalu).

Akibatnya, daerah antara Padalarang sampai Cicalengka (± 30 kilometer) dan daerah antara Gunung Tangkuban Parahu sampai Soreang (± 50 kilometer) terendam menjadi sebuah danau besar yang kemudian dikenal dengan sebutan Danau Bandung atau Danau Bandung Purba. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian geologi, air Danau Bandung diperkirakan mulai surut pada masa neolitikum (± 8000 - 7000 sebelum Masehi). Proses surutnya air danau itu berlangsung secara bertahap dalam waktu berabad-abad.

Secara historis, kata atau nama Bandung mulai dikenal sejak di daerah bekas danau tersebut berdiri pemerintah Kabupaten bandung (sekitar decade ketiga abad ke-17). Dengan demikian, sebutan Danau Bandung terhadap danau besar itu pun terjadi setelah berdirinya Kabupaten Bandung.

The Neighbour Country

Australia is one of neighbouring contries of Indonesia, not far away from Bali, only one hour by flight. From Bandung to Bali we can use flight, train, or buses.
This is an information about Australia.

Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the mainland of the world's smallest continent, the major island of Tasmania and a number of other islands in the Southern, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. Neighbouring countries include Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea to the north, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and the French dependency of New Caledonia to the northeast, and New Zealand to the southeast.

The mainland of Australia has been inhabited for more than 42,000 years by Indigenous Australians. After sporadic visits by fishermen from the north and by European explorers and merchants starting in the seventeenth century, the eastern half of the mainland was claimed by the British in 1770 and officially settled through penal transportation as the colony of New South Wales on 26 January 1788. As the population grew and new areas were explored, another five largely self-governing Crown Colonies were successively established over the course of the 19th century.

On 1 January 1901, the six colonies became a Federation, and the Commonwealth of Australia was formed. Since federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system and remains a Commonwealth Realm. The capital city is Canberra, located in the Australian Capital Territory. The current national population is approximately 20.8 million people, and is concentrated mainly in the large coastal cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.

Jaipongan

2006-12-27T19:55:00.005-08:00

Jaipongan

A fascinating document of the Jaipong popular style that swept through Indonesia in the late 1970s, typified by its highly dynamic drumming. Sung in the Sundanese language, with instruments and musical idioms drawn from the Sundanese tradition, it's an unlikely form of pop. And, indeed, to Western ears it hardly sounds like pop -- pieces like the lengthy "Serat Salira" seem to have more in common with an edgy type of avant-grade than anything else. Coming from the village genre known as ketuk tilu, which mixed singing and dancing, jaipong built on the foundation to create something new, also utilizing the instrumentation and structure of popular gamelan music. The hybrid, named jaipong, was instantly successful, initially as a musical style, but since then as a form of dance. Is it easy listening? Yes and no: The tones slide sinuously and beautifully, but the harmonies and melodies are definitely challenging to anyone grounded in Western music. At the same time, there's a definite beauty to it all that warrants repeated listenings to be teased out.
In 1961, Indonesian President Sukarno prohibited rock and roll and other western genres of music, and challenged Indonesian musicians to revive the indigenous arts. Gugum Gumbira took up the challenge, and studied rural dance and festival music for twelve years. Jaipongan, or Jaipong, was the most popular result of his study, derived from the updating of a village ritual music called ketuk tilu, with moves from Pencak Silat, the Indonesian martial art, and music from the masked theater dance, Topeng Banjet, and the Wayang Golek puppet theater.

In the original ketuk tilu, the group typically consists of the ketuk tilu pot-gong, other small gongs, a rebab (spike fiddle), barrel drums, and a female singer-dancer (ronggeng) who is often also a prostitute, who invites men to dance with her sensually. Gugum expanded the drum section as part of an urban gamelan orchestra, sped up the music, redefined the singer as just a singer (sinden), and came up with the catchy onomatopoeic name. Many listeners consider the music very complex, with the dynamic rhythm liable to change seemingly randomly.

Jaipongan debuted in 1974 when Pak Gugum and his gamelan and dancers first performed in public. Sporadic government attempts to suppress it due to its perceived immorality (it inherited some of the sensuality of ketuk tilu) just made it more popular. It survived even after the official Indonesian ban on foreign pop music was lifted after a few years, and became a craze in the 1980s. Since the mid-1980s Jaipongan’s importance as a social dance has waned, but it remained popular as a stage dance, performed by women, mixed couples or as a solo.

The most widely available album of Jaipongan outside Indonesia is "Tonggeret", featuring singer Idjah Hadidjah and Gugum Gumbira's Jugala orchestra, released in 1987, and re-released as part of "WestJava: Sundanese Jaipong and other Popular Music", by Nonesuch Records under their Explorer Series label.

Sejarah Sunda

2006-12-27T19:54:00.001-08:00

Sedikit Sejarah

Sejarah "Sunda" yang dimaksud di sini bersifat umum berdasarkan data atau tulisan terbatas yang digunakan. Menurut data dan penelitian arkeologis, Tanah Sunda telah dihuni oleh masyarakat Sunda secara sosial sejak lama sebelum Tarikh Masehi. Situs Purbakala di Ciampea (Bogor), Kelapa Dua (Jakarta), Dataran Tinggi (Bandung) dan Cangkuang (Garut) memberi bukti dan informasi bahwa lokasi - lokasi tersebut telah ditempati oleh kelompok masyarakat yang memiliki sistem kepercayaan organisasi sosial, sistem mata pencaharian, pola pemukiman dan lain sebagainya sebagaimana layaknya kehidupan masyarakat betapapun sederhananya.

Era sejarah di Tanah Sunda baru mulai pada pertengahan abad ke-5 seiring dengan dibuatnya dokumen tertulis berupa beberapa buah prasasti yang dipahat batu dengan menggunakan bahasa Sangsekerta dan Aksara Pallawa. Prasasti - prasasti itu yang diketemukan di Ciaruteun daerah Bogor, Bekasi dan Pandeglang dibuat zaman kerajaan Tarumanegara dengan salah seorang rajanya bernama Purnawarman dan Ibukotanya terletak di Bekasi sekarang. Pada masa itu sampai abad ke-7, sistem pemerintahan berbentuk kerajaan, agama Hindu sebagai agama resmi negara, sistem kasta berbentuk stratifikasi sosial dan hubungan antar negara telah mulai terwujud walaupun masih dalam tahap awal dan terbatas.

Kerajaan Sriwijaya di Sumatra, India dan China merupakan negeri luar yang menjalin hubungan dengan kerajaan Tarumanegara, tetapi kebudayaan Hindu dari India yang dominan dan berpengaruh di sini. Kerajaan Sunda baru muncul pada abad ke-8 sebagai lanjutan atau penerus Kerajaan Tarumanegara, pusat kerajaannya berada sekitar Bogor sekarang. Paling tidak ada tiga macam sumber yang menyebut Sunda sebagai nama kerajaan, pertama dua buah prasasti (Bogor dan Sukabumi). kedua beberapa buah naskah lama (Carita Parahiyangan, Sanghiyang siksa kendang karesian). Ibu kota kerajaan Sunda di namai Pakuan Padjadjaran.

Dalam tradisi lisan dan Naskah sesudah Abad ke-17, Pakuan biasa disebut untuk nama Ibu kota sedangkan Padjadjaran untuk menyebutkan kerajaan. Kerajaan ini hidup kira-kira 6 abad, karena runtuh sekitar tahun 1579. Pernah mengalami masa kejayaan antara lain ditandai dengan luas wilayah yang meliputi seluruh Tatar Sunda, kesejahteraan rakyat tinggi, keamanan stabil, hubungan dengan dunia luar (Majapahit, Portugis, Sriwijaya) berjalan baik. Dikenal ada dua raja termasyhur kebesarannya (Prabu Niskala Wastu Kancana dan Sri Baduga Maharaja). Ibu kotanya pernah berada di Kawali, Galuh. Pada masa pemerintahan Prabu Maharaja (1350-1352) terjadi konflik dengan Majapahit, karena masalah pernikahan putri Sunda dengan raja Majapahit Hayam Wuruk.

Pada masa pemerintahan Sri Baduga Maharaja (1482-1521), dan putranya, Prabu Surawisesa (1521-1535) terjalin hubungan kerjasama ekonomi dan keamanan antara kerajaan Padjadjaran dengan Portugis yang berkedudukan di Malaka. Dari kerajaan ini dihasilkan beras dan lada yang bisa diekspor. Kota Pelabuhan yang besar antara lain Banten, Sunda Kelapa (Jakarta sekarang) dan Cirebon, sistem ladang merupakan cara bertani rakyatnya. Ada jalan raya darat yang menghubungkan Ibukota kerajaan dengan Banten disebelah barat, Kelapa disebelah utara, serta Cirebon dan Galuh disebelah timur. Dari daerah pedalaman ke pesisir utara dihubungkan dengan jalur lalu lintas sungai dan jalan menyusuri pantai.

Pedagang Islam sudah berdatangan ke kota - kota pelabuhan Kerajaan Sunda untuk berdagang dan memperkenalkan ajaran Islam. Lama kelamaan para pedagang Islam bermukim di kota - kota pelabuhan Sunda, terutama di Banten, Karawang dan Cirebon kemudian penduduk setempat banyak yang menganut Agama Islam. Berkat dukungan Kesultanan Demak berdirilah kekuasaan Islam di Cirebon dan Banten yang dalam perkembangan selanjutnya mendesak kekuasaan kerajaan Sunda sampai akhirnya menumbangkan sama sekali (5179). Sementara di daerah pesisir berkembang kekuasaan Kesultanan Cirebon dan Kesultanan Banten. Sedangkan di daerah pedalaman muncul kabupaten - kabupaten yang masing-masing berdiri sendiri, yaitu : Sumedang, Galuh, Sukapura, Limbangan, Parakanmuncung, Bandung, Batulayang dan Cianjur.

Periode selajutnya (sejak abad ke-17) Sejarah Sunda mengalami babak baru, karena dari arah pesisir utara di Jayakarta (Batavia) masuk kekuasaan Kompeni Belanda (sejak 1610) dan dari arah pedalaman sebelah timur kekuasaan Mataram (sejak 1625). Secara perlahan - lahan tapi pasti akhirnya seluruh Tanah Sunda jatuh ke genggaman kekuasaan Belanda (sejak awal abad ke-19) karena itu mulailah zaman kekuasaan kolonial Hindia Belanda.

Tanah Sunda yang subur dan orang - orang yang rajin bekerja menjadikan pengeksploitasian tersebut sangat mengutungkan penguasa kolonial Belanda sehingga membawa kemakmuran yang luar biasa bagi mereka yang tinggal disini dan yang berada di tanah leluhurnya (Belanda). Sebaliknya rakyat pribumi tidak mengecap keuntungan yang setimpal dengan tenaga dan jasa yang diberikan, bahkan banyak yang hidupnya menderita, kecuali sekelompok masyarakat kecil yang dekat dan kerjasama dengan penguasa kolonial yang biasa disebut kaum Menak.

Pada sisi lain masuknya penjajahan itu menimbulkan ketidakpuasan dan bahkan penentangan sebagian masyarakat. Di bawah beberapa pemimpinnya timbulah serangkaian perlawanan dan pemberontakan rakyat, seperti yang dipimpin oleh Dipati Ukur di Priangan (1628 - 1632), Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa dan pangeran Purbaya di Banten (1659 - 1683), Prawatasari di Priangan (1705 - 1708), Kiai Tapa dan Bagus Buang di Banten (1750 - 1752), Bagus Rangin (1802 - 1818), Kiai Hasan Maulani di Kuningan (1842), Kiai Washid di Banten (1888), Kiai Hasan Arif di Garut (1918).

Ketidakpuasan masyarakat terus berlanjut, walaupun penguasa kolonial mengupayakan perbaikan kehidupan masyarakat melalui program pendidikan, pertanian, perkreditan dan juga menerapkan sistem ekonomi bagi Pemerintahan Pribumi. Sejak awal abad ke-20 muncul gerakan penentang sosial dan organisasi politik seperti Sarekat Islam, Indische Partij, Paguyuban Pasundan dan Partai Nasional Indonesia.

Melalui pendudukan Militer Jepang (1942 - 1945) yang mengakhiri kekuasaan kolonial Hindia Belanda (menyerah di Kalijati, Subang tanggal 8 Maret 1942) dan menumbuhkan keberanian di kalangan orang pribumi untuk melawan kekuasaan asing dan memberikan bekal keterampilan perang pada tahun 1945 masyarakat Sunda, umumnya masyarakat Indonesia berhasil mencapai dan mempertahankan kemerdekaan. Sejak itu masyarakat dan Tanah Sunda berada dalam lingkungan negara Republik Indonesia.

Secara historis Propinsi Jawa Barat yang dibentuk berlandaskan Undang - undang No. 11 Tahun 1950 dengan Bandung sebagai ibukotanya. Dalam menjalankan tugas dan fungsinya, Pemerintah Daerah berpedoman pada Undang - undang Dasar 1945, Undang - undang No.5 Tahun 1974 tentang Pemerintahan di Daerah dan peraturan perundangan lainnya, dan dalam perkembangan terakhir dengan berlakunya Undang - undang No. 22 Tahun 1999 yang lebih dikenal dengan Otonomi Daerah.

Dengan terbentuknya Propinsi Banten pada bulan Nopember tahun 2000, jumlah Pemerintah Kabupaten/Kota di Jawa Barat terdiri dari 16 Kabupaten, yaitu Karawang, Bekasi, Purwakarta, Subang, Bogor, Sukabumi, Cianjur, Bandung, Garut, Tasikmalaya, Ciamis, Sumedang, Majalengka, Cirebon, Indramayu, Kuningan dan 9 Kota, yaitu Bandung, Bogor, Sukabumi, Cirebon, Bekasi, Depok, Cimahi, Tasikmalaya dan Banjar.

Culture

The West Java people are called the Sundanese, endowed with language and traditions unique to that of the rest of Java. The Sundanese language has 3 distinct hierarchies, starting from the lowly harsh (kasar), middle, and soft (lemes) Sundanese. Many Sundanese words have been adopted into Indonesian, although many of its contributions consist of profanities. Pajajaran Kingdom was the oldest kingdom in the region. The West Java region is also named as Parahyangan or the "Land of the Gods". In its later history, the region fell under influence of the Central Java kingdoms, reflected in elite Sundanese having borrowed much of its vocabulary and grammar from elite Javanese.

In Indonesia, the Sundanese people are known to be more easy going and less formal in their temperament than their distant relatives from Central Java and East Java. This is reflected in the grammar of the Sundanese language, which has many forms allowing for meaningless light banter. Interestingly, Sundanese has contributed many swear words to the Indonesian language spoken in Jakarta.

The most popular traditional musical instrument is angklung, made of parallel bamboo tubes tuned to specific frequencies with a hammer and is shaken to produce certain notes. Music is performed by a choir of angklung players, each of whom are responsible for sounding certain notes. Its melody is only slightly different from that of Central Java's gamelan ensembles.

The Sundanese language is spoken by approximately 27 million people and is the second most widely-spoken regional language in Indonesia, after Javanese. This language is spoken in the southern part of the Banten province, and most of West Java (excepting the northern coastal areas which has seen significant urbanization), and eastwards as far as the Pamali River in Brebes, Central Java.

There are several dialects of Sundanese, from the Sunda-Banten dialect to the Sunda-Central Javanese dialect which mixes elements of Javanese. Some of the most distinct dialects are from:

Banten

Bogor

Priangan

Cirebon

Due to the influence of the Javanese culture during the reign of the Islamic Mataram kingdom, the Sundanese language - especially in the Parahyangan area - have different layers starting from the most formal, or "halus" version, to the everyday "loma/lancaran" version and the informal or harsh version. However, in the mountainous regions and most of Banten, the loma version is the most dominant. By contrast, this version is considered "harsh" by people from Bandung. In Central Java, Sundanese is spoken in the Cilacap region.

Kidung Sunda is a Middle-Javanese poem of probable Balinese provenance. In this poem, the story of king Hayam Wuruk of Majapahit who was looking for a bride to be, is narrated. At last he chose the princess of Sunda, a kingdom in West Java whose name remained undisclosed in this story. But his grand vizier Gajah Mada, rejected this idea. There was a dispute about geopolitical relations between Sunda and Majapahit (i.e. Java). Gajah Mada considered Sunda to be a vassal state of Java. For that reason a great battle took place in Bubat, the port where the Sundanese party landed as they refused to be treated as vassals. There the Majapahit-Javanese army slaughtered the Sundanese. The grieved princes of Sunda committed suicide not long afterwards. This historical story has to be situated somewhere in the 14th century.

History

History

Although the oldest reference to the city dates back to 1488, where it was the capital of the Kingdom of Pajajaran, there have been some archaeological findings of Homo erectus (Java Man) living in the banks of the Cikapundung river and around the old lake of Bandung[7] [8]. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Dutch East Indies company (VOC), made a small plantation area in the fertile and prosperous Bandung area. A supply road connecting Batavia (now Jakarta), Bogor, Cianjur, Bandung, Sumedang and Cirebon was built in 1786.

Gedung Sate

In 1809, Louis Napoleon, the ruler of the Netherlands and its colonies, ordered the Dutch Indies Governor H.W. Daendels to increase the defense system of Java island against the British from the Malaysian peninsula. Daendels built a road, stretching about 1000 km from the west coast to the east coast of Java. Since the northern part of West Java at that time was only swamp and marsh, the road was diverted through Bandung[9][10]. The Great Postweg (now Jalan Asia-Afrika) was laid down in 1810.

When Daendels was walking along the edge of the Cikapundung river, he was amazed by the site where he stood and he then put a stick at the edge of the Cikapundung river. He said: "Zorg, dat als ik terug kom hier een stad is gebouwd!" (Make sure that, when I return, there's a city here!)[11]. Now, it is the center of Bandung, the kilometer zero of the city.

In 1880, the first major railroad between Batavia and Bandung was laid down[12]. It gave a high boost of light industry in Bandung. Chinese who had never before lived in that area flocked in to help run the facilities, services and vendor machines. An old Chinatown district in Bandung can still be recognized in the vicinity of the railroad station. In 1906, Bandung was given the status of gemeente (municipality) and then later as stadsgemeente (city municipality) in 1926.

Having location in a lowland, surrounded by a ring of mountains, Bandung is strategically advantageous for military defense. In 1930s, the Dutch East Indies government had planned to move the capital from Batavia to Bandung. R.A. Wiranatakusumah II, the chief administration of the Bandung regency at that time, moved its office from Krapyak, in the south, to a place near a pair of holy city wells (sumur Bandung), now it is alun-alun (city square). He built his dalem (palace), masjid agung (the grand mosque) and pendopo (public-official meeting place) in the classical orientation[13].

The pendopo faces Tangkuban Perahu mountain, who was believed to have a mystical ambience. In the meantime, the Dutch East Indies government built military barracks, the central government building (Gouvernments Bedrijven, nicknamed Gedung Sate) and other buildings. However, this plan has never been realized as the failure of the Dutch to reclaim Indonesia after the World War II.

The fertile area of the Parahyangan mountains surrounding Bandung has made productive tea plantations. In the nineteenth century, cinchona (kina) plants was introduced by Franz Junghuhn[14]. Cinchona is a plant that can be used for the treatment of malaria and the old pharmacy factory of cinchona still exists in the city.

Bandung had developed itself into an exclusive European resort style with hotels, cafes and shops[7]. Rich plantation owners came during the weekends and so did girls and businessmen from the capital, Batavia. The promenade Braga Street grew into an elite area of cafes, restaurants and boutique shops. Two art-deco style hotels, Savoy Homann and Preanger, became two major accommodations there. The Concordia Society (now known as Merdeka Building) was built as a club house of these rich people, complete with a large ballroom and a theater[12]. The title of "Parijs van Java" was given to the city.
Gedung Merdeka during the Asian-African Conference in 1955

Bandung was decided as the provincial capital of West Java, after the independence. During the Dutch police action, there was an ultimatum for the Indonesian combatants in Bandung to leave. As for the answer, on March 24, 1946, the southern part of Bandung was deliberately burned down as they were leaving. This event is known as Bandung Lautan Api or Bandung as the sea of flame[15]. A heroic song "Halo-halo Bandung" was sang along by these hundreds of patriots.

In 1955, the first Asian-African Conference was held in Bandung. Twenty-nine countries attended the conference that established the Nonaligned Movement block.

Today, Bandung has growth more than its city core with the Bandung Raya plan. Traffic in Bandung is infamous with its complex, congested and chaotic nature[16]. The city core is practically uprooted, old faces are torn down, lot sizes regrouped, and what was idyllic residence is now bustling chain supermarkets and rich banks[7]. However Bandung is always be a weekend break destination for people living in Jakarta. A new Cipularang highway was recently completed, reducing travel time from Jakarta. The major attraction to come to Bandung is the food and fashion shopping. The food in Bandung is well known for their wide varieties and taste. Bandung is also a place to do fashion shopping with its numerous factory outlets and stock centres[17].

Tol Cipularang Rampung, Bandung Tambah Macet?

SEBAGAIMANA wajah lumrah kota-kota besar lainnya di negeri ini, kemacetan adalah bagian tak terpisahkan dari keseharian dinamika Kota Bandung. Perkembangan jumlah penduduk dan peningkatan mobilitas seiring semakin bergeraknya dinamika sosial dan ekonomi, kian menambah beban kota yang di awal pendiriannya sejatinya "sekadar" diarahkan sebagai kota peristirahatan itu.
BANDUNG dibayangi kemacetan yang menjadi-jadi dengan semakin banyaknya warga Jakarta yang berlibur ke Bandung setelah tol Cipularang rampung.*ANDRI GURNITA/"PR"

Dalam situasi demikian, memang menjadi pertanyaan relevan; ketika akses tol Cikampek- Purwakarta- Padalarang (Cipularang) belum dibuka saja, kusut masai ketidakmampuan lalu lintas Kota Bandung mengantisipasi lonjakan kendaraan begitu nyata, apalagi ketika akses tol itu sudah dibuka? Persoalan ini menjadi salah satu simpul permasalahan yang mencuat pada diskusi terbatas yang digelar H.U Pikiran Rakyat, Sabtu (19/3).

Sekretaris Daerah Kota Bandung Maman Suparman menyatakan Bandung sebagai ibukota Provinsi Jawa Barat termasuk dalam kategori kota metropolitan. "Jumlah penduduknya, berdasarkan catatan resmi lebih dari 2,5 juta. Tapi, pada siang hari dengan masuknya penduduk dari daerah sekitarnya, jumlahnya bisa lebih dari 3 juta," ungkapnya.

Pada kenyataannya, peningkatan jumlah penduduk dan segala dinamikanya itu tidak berjalan paralel dengan sistem transportasi yang seolah tidak pernah beranjak meningkat. Sistem transportasi yang dominan di Kota Bandung adalah transportasi darat, khususnya tarnsportasi jalan. "Menurut data 2003, total panjang jalan di kota ini sekira 932,701 km dengan 84,49 persen merupakan jalan lokal. Panjang jalan nasional dalam wilayah Kota Bandung 40,560 km, sedangkan panjang jalan provinsi dan kota masing-masing 19,210 km dan 358,885 km," paparnya.

Dengan kondisi seperti itu, nyatanya total luas jalan itu hanya 3 persen dari wilayah Kota Bandung. "Masih kurang dari kebutuhan minimal 7 persen. Struktur jaringan jalan juga rumit karena tidak hierarkis dan polanya sentralistik, missing link pada jalan arteri, serta lebar jalan/kapasitas terbatas dan tidak dipoperasikan optimal," kata Maman Suparman.

Berdasarkan simulasi, kecepatan rata-rata kendaraan pada jam-jam puncak (pagi dan sore) hanya sekira 20 km/jam. Jika kecepatan rata-rata ideal di jaringan jalan perkotaan adalah 30 km/jam, maka inefisiensi waktu perjalanan akibat kemacetan di Bandung sekira 33 persen dari total waktu perjalanan yang semestinya.

Dengan asumsi nilai waktu penduduk Bandung sebesar Rp 5.000 per jam dan jumlah pelaku perjalanan di jam puncak sekira 150.000 orang, pemborosan resource waktu adalah sebesar Rp 246,6 juta per jam puncak atau sama dengan Rp 1,78 miliar per hari pada jaringan jalan di metropolitan Bandung," katanya.

Macet di semua koridor

Paparan hampir serupa disampaikan dosen Departemen Teknik Planologi ITB, Denny Zulkaidi. Menurutnya, dari empat koridor menuju Kota Bandung saat ini, semuanya tidak ada yang luput dari soal kemacaten ini. "Dari utara, kemacetan adalah wajah 'lumrah' di Jalan Setiabudi, Cihampelas, dan Siliwangi. Di barat, juga terjadi di Pasteur, Suria Sumantri, Terusan Pasteur, dan tengah Kota Bandung (Wastukancana, Juanda, R.E. Martadinata, Merdeka, hingga Surapati). Selatan apalagi yakni di Pasirkoja, Terusan Buah Batu, M. Toha, dan Kopo. Sedangkan di arah Timur sepanjang Ujungberung," papar Denny.

Kondisi Bandung saat ini, menurutnya, memang menjadi daya tarik wisata yang cukup potensial. "Terutama wisata belanja baik sandang maupun pangan. Orang-orang mencari fashion dengan harga relatif murah di sini, sarana rekreasi, suasana, dll. Layanan akomodasi juga cukup representatif, bahkan seringkali fully booked di akhir pekan. Pada saat-saat libur, kemacetan justru semakin menjadi-jadi di Kota Bandung, terutama di sekitar daerah wisata itu. Hal ini menambah ketidaknyamanan bagi penduduk Kota Bandung," paparnya.

Dengan kondisi seperti ini, tak pelak dengan beroperasinya jalan tol Cipularang, salah satu skenario yang paling mungkin terjadi adalah kemacetan yang semakin menjadi-jadi di Kota Bandung. Walaupun, dampak positifnya juga hadir dengan semakin singkatnya waktu tempuh Jakarta-Bandung.

"Akan terjadi peralihan rute dari Purwakarta, Puncak, Subang. Waktu perjalanan Jakarta-Bandung yang berkurang akan semakin meningkatkan frekuensi perjalanan, "tegas Denny Zulkaidi.

Pada satu sisi akan terjadi pengurangan volume lalu lintas pada ruas jalan tertentu. "Namun, seiring peningkatan jumlah kunjungan ke Bandung, pada ruas jalan lainnya justru akan semakin meningkat. Kemacetan justru akan bertambah sebab muncul peningkatan kegiatan bisnis, terutama pada bidang ritel (factory outlet), restoran, kafe, hiburan, rekreasi, dll. Penumpukan juga akan terjadi di pintu tol, terutama Pasteur. Apalagi, flyover Pasopati terhenti sebelum mulut tol. Akibat lebih jauhnya adalah semakin terdegradasinya kenyamanan Kota Bandung. Kemacetan tetap menjadi-jadi di koridor masuk kota ini," urainya.

Upaya antisipasi memang menjadi pemikiran, sedang, dan akan dilakukan Pemerintah Kota Bandung. Sebagaimana dikatakan Maman Suparman, pertama, pemkot akan terus melakukan manajemen dan rekayasa lalu lintas. Selanjutnya, peningkatan kapasitas jalan mencakup perubahan fisik berupa pelebaran atau penambahan ruas jalan, seperti membangun flyover/underpass.

"Antara lain flyover di ruas jalan Suria Sumantri, Garuda, Kiaracondong (sedang dikerjakan), Gasibu, pelebaran ruas jalan di sekitar pintu masuk dan keluar tol Pasteur dan tol Padaleunyi, pelebaran Jalan PHH Mustofa sampai Terminal Cicaheum. Kita juga merencanakan membangun jalan tol dalam kota yakni Pasteur-Cibiru, Ujungberung - Gedebage," paparnya.

Selain itu, juga direncanakan pembangunan di wilayah Bandung Timur untuk memecah pusat-pusat kegiatan. Di sana akan dibangun terminal induk untuk penumpang dan barang Gedebage. "Juga dilakukan pengendalian terhadap tata guna lahan yang dapat menimbulkan bangkitan dan perjalanan orang dan barang pada ruas-ruas jalan sekitar pintu masuk dan keluar tol Cipularang, Padaleunyi, dan jalan layang Pasupati, misalnya supermarket/mal, apartemen, pusat kegiatan perdagangan dan perekonomian dan pendidikan," paparnya. Yang lainnya adalah rencana pembangunan monorel, double track kereta api, dan pembukaan akses tol Km 28 di wilayah Gedebage.

Lili Hambali Bupati Purwakarta memberikan saran agar Kota Bandung meniru langkah Jakarta membangun jalan layang bebas hambatan mengikuti alur Sungai Cikapundung. "Seperti di Jakarta di atas alur Sungai Ciliwung. Sungai Cikapundung yang membelah Kota Bandung menghubungkan dua wilayah di utara dan Selatan. Dengan dibangun akses jalan layang di atasnya, kita bisa membangun jalan tanpa menambah beban lahan," ujar Lili.

Denny Zulkaidi menyatakan, langkah-langkah pengembangan infrastruktur seperti itu memang menjadi bagian penting dalam upaya memecahkan kebuntuan lalu lintas. Akan tetapi, tegasnya, yang jauh lebih penting dalam manajemen perkotaan, termasuk upaya memecahkan kemacetan, adalah kembali pada konsistensi penegakan aturan. Larangan off-street parking pada ruas jalan macet, penertiban kegiatan di badan jalan (PKL, pasar tumpah, maupun mal-mal yang mengambil lahan jalan), pembangunan gedung parkir pada konsentrasi kegiatan bisnis, perbaikan sarana angkutan umum (SAUM), angkutan wisata khusus, termasuk penertiban angkutan umum.

Untuk kegiatan bisnis, diperlukan penegakan aturan yang konsisten yakni pengendalian lokasi, intensitas, dan prasarana kegiatan bisnis dengan ketat di wilayah Bandung Barat. "Artinya, mendorong penyebaran kegiatan bisnis ke Bandung Timur," katanya.

Terkait dengan konsistensi penegakan aturan ini, Wakil Gubernur Jabar Nu'man Abdul Hakim menegaskan, kebijakan dan praktik manajemen wilayah yang tidak benar seperti di masa lalu, tidak bisa lagi dilakukan pada era saat ini.

The famous University

2005-10-27T22:19:00.000-07:00

IInstitut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), was founded on March 2, 1959. The present ITB main campus is the site of earlier engineering schools in Indonesia. Although these institutions of higher learning had their own individual characteristics and missions, they left influence on developments leading to the establishment of ITB.

In 1920, Technische Hogeschool (TH) was established in Bandung, which for a short time, in the middle forties, became Kogyo Daigaku. Not long after the birth of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945, the campus housed the Technical Faculty (including a Fine Arts Department) of Universitas Indonesia, with the head office in Jakarta. In the early fifties, a. Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, also part of Universitas Indonesia, was established on the campus.

In 1959, the present lnstitut Teknologi Bandung was founded by the Indonesian government as an institution of higher learning of science, technology, and fine arts, with a mission of education, research, and service to the community.

Government Decree No. 155/2000 pertaining to The Decision on ITB as Legal Enterprise (Badan Hukum) has opened a new path for ITB to become autonomous. The status of autonomy implies a freedom for the institution to manage its own bussiness in an effective and efficient way, and to be fully responsible for the planning and implementation of all program and activity, and the quality control for the attainment of its institutional objective. The institution has also freedom in deciding their measures and taking calculated risks in facing tight competition and intense pressures.
Location

Bandung, with a population of approximately one and a half million, lies in the mountainous area of West Java, at an altitude of 770 meters. The ITB main campus, to the north of the town centre, and its other campuses, cover a total area of 770,000 square meters.

Bandung On The Past Time

DUA turis asing memerhatikan catatan prasasti yang menjelaskan sejarah awal berdirinya tugu mesin penggilas di halaman Dinas Bina Marga Provinsi Jawa Barat Jalan Asia Afrika Bandung, Ahad (18/4). Tugu yang awalnya hanya sebuah patok itu merupakan jejak tongkat Gubernur Jenderal H. W Daendels dan Bupati Bandung R.A.A. Wiranatakusuma yang pada tanggal 25 Mei 1810 usai meresmikan jembatan Sungai Cikapundung memerintahkan untuk segera dibangun sebuah kota. Sejak itu, mesin penggilas yang pertama meratakan tempat ini dinyatakan sebagai tanda posisi KM.

So quite, but natural with the fresh air, take a look the empity road so peace. Bandoeng that we see on the picture is really different with now, Asia-Africa street is fulled by car and motor cycle, Not only the traffic on the road but the building is un organize. Aloen-aloen yang dulu merupakan taman kota sekarang ini tengah dijadikan ajang pembangunan masjid agung. Tepat di taman yang pada tahun 80-an menjadi tempat berkeliaran PSK sekarang ini sedang dibangun tampat parkir bawah tanah, sedang diatasnya akan tetap dijadikan taman kota.
Masjid Agung yang sekarang berdiri megah (terlampau megah, malah) seperti berdiri amat sombong dan canggung. Gedung tua yang ada di pojok persis sebelah masjid Agung menjadi anak tiri. Pembangunan masjid ini pun menjadi tanda tanya. Jika mampu membuat tempat parkir bawah tanah, tak mungkinkah pembangunan masjid agung juga diperluas ke bawah tanah. Toh kebanyakan yang datang ke masjid agung ini adalah para pengunjung pusat-pusat perbelanjaan yang mengurung aloen-aloen, yang tak jarang menjadikan masjid agung juga sebagai tempat tidur siang setelah melaksanakan shalat.

Aloen-aloen Bandung

Braga

Salah satu proyek kolosal pada jaman penjajahan dulu adalah proyek pembuatan jalan raya pos (Postweg) . Pembuatan jalan yang diprakarsai oleh Gubernur Jendral pada waktu itu, Daendels, dimulai pada tahun 1811. Jalan Raya yang menghubungi Anyer di ujung barat pulau Jawa dan Panarukan di ujung timur pulau Jawa, tak hanya terbilang wah di jaman itu tapi juga menelan banyak korban buruh pribumi.
Kota Bandoeng merupakan salah satu kota yang terlewati jalan raya ini. Postweg yang membelah kota Bandoeng dari barat ke timur, sekarang ini menjadi 3 jalan utama yaitu: jalan Sudirman di sebelah barat, jalan Asia-Afrika di tengah kota, dan jalan Ahmad Yani di timur kota Bandoeng.

Jalan Braga, dulu namanya Jalan Pedati (Pedatiweg) pada akhir tahun l900an. Dulu eekitar tahun l939an, dalam terbitan khusus surat kabar "AID de Preangerbode," untuk memperingati ulang tahun kota Bandoeng, yang keseratus.
Dalam penerbitan khusus tsb., a.l. dilihat sebuah gambar pedati dengan muatannya, dan di kanan tampak seorang perempuan berjalan mengiringi pedato, sedang suaminya duduk di pedati, di jalan Braga tsb.
Menurut penerbitan tsb, dulu Jalan Suniaradja namanya Jalan Parapatan Pompa, dan Jalan Tamblong adalah dari nama seorang tukang kayu Tionghwa, yang bernama Tan Long, yang rumahnya terletak di sudut Jl. Tamblong, menempati Hotel Preanger sekarang.
Pembangungan terakhir adalah tahun l939, sesuai rencana Pemerintah Hindia Belanda untuk menjadikan Bandoeng sebagai ibukota menggantikan Batavia. Hotel Homann dibangun kembali dengan gaya art deco, seperti juga gedung bank Denis dan gedung toko Onderling Belang, di Braga, across the street dari gedung bioskop Majestic.
Pada tahun tsb. dibangun viaduct, karena lalu-lintas yang dari Landraadweg (punten, apakah namanya sekarang "Jl. Pengadilan?"?), sampai panjang sekali semua delman, kretek menunggu kereta api lewat dari setasion Bandoeng atau kereta api dari arah timur. Kemudian viaduc tsb juga menghubungkan Jl. Suniaradja dengan Jl. Braga. Dulu jalan di Jl. Braga tsb jalan buntu, namanya Gang Effendi.
Lalu pembangunan lain adalah jalan samping penjara Banceuy, dulunya jalan kampung, dibikin tembus sampai Jl. Braga di Jl. Naripan. Sayang sekali sekarang banyak gedung bersejarah sudah dihancurkan. Seperti gedung penjara tsb. menjadi mall, cuma tempat Bung Karno dipenjara, masih dipertahankan. Kemudian gedung-gedung bioskop Varia, Elita dan Orienetal di sekitar alun-alun juga sudah dihancurkan. Padahal dulu gedung Varia adalah tempat Bung Karno dan pemimpin-pemimpin pergerakan kemerdekaan kita, mengadakan rapat-rapat umum.
Waktu jaman hindia belanda dulu, jalan Braga merupakan sentra pertokoan terkemuka. Konsep yang dicetuskan oleh walikota Bandung saat itu, B. Coops. Ia menginginkan Bragaweg jadi sentra pertokoan di Nederland Indies yang bergaya barat.
Sebenarnya pada awalnya sebelum tahun 1882 nama yang diberikan adalah jalan pedati, pedatiweg, yang kemudian pada tahun tersebut, asisten residen Bandung, Pieter Sitjhoff, merubahnya menjadi Bragaweg. Nama yang diambil dari nama kelompok tonil yang didirikannya.
Pak Sumarsongko yang lahir 76 tahun yang lalu di kota Bandoeng menulis:
"Saya teringat sekali dengan Bragaweg, karena setiap hari saya lewat jalan tsb dari sekolah saya di Logeweg (sekarang Jalan Wastukancana) no. 3, di samping greja. Waktu itu, Jalan Braga seperti Fifth Avenue-nya Bandoeng, sangat ekslusif untuk orang-orang Belanda yang berbelanja maupun yang makan-minum di Maison Bogerijen (sekarang Bandung Permai)".

Pangandaran
Pangandaran is one of Java's best-kept secrets as far as international tourists are concerned, but has been extremely popular with locals for along, long time. A small fishing town, it possesses one of Java's finest beaches and the Pangandaran Nature Reserve teems with wild buffalo, barking deer and monkeys. The people are very friendly, this combined with the idealize surroundings make this a great place to spend a few days relaxing island-style. Pangandaran is halfway between Bandung and Yogya, about 5 hours by bus from Bandung and 8 hours from Jakarta.
This is the second beach resort area on the Indian Ocean after Pelabuhan Ratu. It certainly equals the latter's awe-inspiring natural beauty, however, it has the disadvantage of being so far off from Bandung (223 km) and even more so from Jakarta (400 km). Road conditions are good, thus making the trip by car or bus recommendable. However, if you prefer to take the train, get into the Bandung-Yogyakarta Express train and get off at the Banjar railroad station about 4 hours later. From here it will be another 50 km by bus to Pangandaran. The beach is called Penanjung, where most of the cottages and hotels are located, however, of modest ratings. Nothing luxurious should be expected. Pangandaran is especially of interest to nature lovers, as there is a wildlife reserve in the vicinity where wild birds and other indigenous animals live about freely to be enjoyed by visitors. Here too, the white beaches are fine, the ocean ever so blue and the seafood superb. Twelve kilometers before arriving at Pangandaran you will see a huge rock on the beach which is called Karang Nini. A forest Conservation Park is located right here, which is another place of special interest to nature lovers. Nearby is a camping ground which has basic facilities suitable for the younger set. Somewhat further out, west of Pangandaran, driving 23 km on the way to Parigi, lies Batu Hiu, meaning Shark's Rock, which is a coastal rock having the shape of a shark. Close by a recreation park is found where you can have an endless open ocean view and enjoy nature at its best.

Maribaya

Since long known for its hot water springs, Maribaya lies north of Bandung which can be reached within 30 minutes. The trip itself is worthwhile making, as you will pass through a picturesque road dotted with flowery hills and lovely villas all the way. The mountain air is cool and the sulfur-laden water just comfortably hot for swimming as well as for just soaking in. Part of the scenery is a 25 m high waterfall set against a steep mountain cliff.

Nusantara Aircraft Industry (IPTN/Nurtanio)

Vastly stretched out at Jalan Pajajaran, 6 km from down town, this is the only aircraft industry in Indonesia. To visit this place a permit should be arranged previously.

Patenggang Lake

One of the leading resorts is located in less than an hour by road to the south of the city. The eastern side of the lake is a cool forest having an average temperature of 10 degrees C and is often hazy the whole day. The north side is bordered by a lush tea estate, reaching far out to the west and south.
Jatiluhur Dam

Situated just about halfway between Jakarta and Bandung, this dam was originally built with French technical assistance back in the Fifties, mainly for the purpose of generating electrical power for the region. Since then the dam developed into a multi-purpose designated area as it now serves irrigation to the surrounding arable land and fishery as well. Somewhat later, tourism saw a potential area for development as it now provides convenient facilities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, a camping ground, speedboats for water skiing and cottages. The water surface is enormously vast, the scenery tropical, the air crisp and cool.

Bogor

Previously known as "Buitenzorg" (Sans soucis or Without worries), during the Dutch colonial era, Bogor actually lies closer to Jakarta (50 km) than it does to Bandung (120 km). Appropriately named by the Dutch as a town "without worries", they chose Bogor to be the site for constructing the first palace of the Dutch Governor General way back in 1745. Later restored in 1832, the palace still stands solid and elegant today with its stretched out gardens where deer roam freely on the green grass under majestically tall old trees.

However, Bogor is famous because of its Botanical Garden which borders the Palace Grounds, covering an area of 87 hectares with thousands of species of plant-life from all over the world, including towering age old trees and the rarest kinds of orchids. See the original "Havea Brazilliensis" rubber tree, formerly imported from Brazil, and world's largest flower, the Rafflesia, a foul smelling and stemless as well as leafless plant. When visiting this Garden, arrange for a permit to visit the neighboring Presidential Palace which belonged to the Dutch Governor General before Indonesia's independence. Doing this may be a day-long visit by leaving Jakarta in the morning and spend the night in the Puncak mountainous region on your way to Bandung the next day. Here again, the whole car trip will be memorable, as scenic tropical beauty all around is really astonishing. You will also pass by another smaller Presidential Palace at Cipanas, the setting of which is in a colorful and flowery vast garden around this wooden but stylish palace.

Zoological Museum

Exhibited in this Museum are mainly stuffed animals placed behind vitrines or glass display cases, arranged as if these animals were alive in natural surroundings. It is located on Juanda Street in Bandung.

Batu-Tulis Ciaruteun (Stone Inscription)

An inscribed stone in the Sanskrit language originating in South India, which is a relic from the Tarumanegara kingdom during the reign of King Purnawarman in 450 A.D.

Located on the bank of the Ciaruteun river in Ciampea village which can be reached by driving along the 9-kilometer road from Bogor to Ciampea followed by going on foot for about two kilometers.

Cibodas Botanical Garden

Located in the district of Pacet, 22 kilometers northwest of Cianjur, the Cibodas Garden Park, honored by its other name "Paradise on earth" impounds a 80-hectares area founded in 1890 for nature preservation purposes.

Taman Safari Indonesia

Animals from all continents roam freely in this 35-hectare park, 75 km southeast of Jakarta along the Jakarta-Bandung route.

Among the animals kept here are some comparatively rare species such as the anoa, rhinos, giraffes, white tigers and European, American as well as Asian bears. Adjacent to the park are recreational grounds with swimming pool, tennis courts, an artificial lake, a waterfall and a children's playground with facilities such as a circus arena, a house of horrors, a merry-go-round and a small circuit. There are also restaurants, cafeterias and other facilities.

Lido Water Recreational Center

It lies 21 km south of Bogor or 81 km from Jakarta. The lake is conveniently located along the route from Bogor to Sukabumi and Pelabuhan Ratu surrounded by scenic panoramas. Water sport facilities, a restaurant and accomodation are available.

Pangrango

Pangrango is a cool place at the foot of this mountain bearing the same name, equipped with the longest restaurant and swimming pool. It has ample mountain views overlooking tropical forests and hills and is located on the Salabintana Road, at 7 km from Sukabumi.

Situ Gunung

Located in the district of Cisaat, 14 kilometers from Sukabumi, Situ Gunung is a natural lake surrounded by damar trees. It is suitable for camping.

Pelabuhan Ratu Beach

Formerly just a plain fishing village it has now grown into a lovely holiday resort, more and more visited by holiday makers from Jakarta and Bandung, a mere three-hour drive from either city through cool mountain villages with picturesque sceneries. Gradually but surely this area will catch up with the pace of development as is the case with Carita on the extreme West coast of Java. Pelabuhan Ratu-Cisolok is a 15 km stretch of breathtaking beauty with hills, mountains and very wide sandy beaches everywhere around you, set against the deep blue Indian Ocean. Truly rare is the fact that thick tropical forests on rolling hills are found right next to stretches of white beaches. Taking walks uphill enables the visitor to look down on the horseshoe shape of the bay's coastline, whereas at night hundreds of fishermen's boat-lamps are seemingly competing with the star-studded sky above, which is both enchanting and romantic. There is one four-star hotel, the Samudera Beach, about 6 km from Pelabuhan Ratu, but several other smaller hotels and cottages are available at moderate rates.

At this virgin stage, this area represents unspoiled beauty in a typically tropical setting with hospitable inhabitants.

Because of its proximity to Jakarta this area is visited by more tourists from the capital than those from Bandung. Moreover, the highways to and from Pelabuhan Ratu have recently been greatly improved to assure you of a smooth ride to enjoy the sceneries you pass even better. Don't forget to the fresh seafood at reasonable prices. Good for taste, swimming, sun bathing and surfing.
Formerly just a traditional fishing village, Pelabuhan Ratu has grown into a lovely holiday resort, while retaining much of its former charm. It is a three-hour drive from either Jakarta or Bandung on good mountain roads. Pelabuhan Ratu-Cisolok is a 15 km stretch of breathtaking coastline; thick tropical forests cascade down steep hills to white sand beaches and the deep blue waters of the Indian Ocean. At night hundreds of fishermen's boatlamps merge with the star-studded sky above, an enchanting and romantic scene. There is one four-star hotel, the Samudera beach, about 6 km from Pelabuhan Ratu, but several other smaller hotels and cottages are available at moderate rates. Don't forget to enjoy the fresh seafood at reasonable prices.

Ujung Kulon

On the southwestern tip of West Java is a wildlife reserve of 51.000 hectares covering the Ujung Kulon peninsula and the nearby islands of Panaitan and Peucang. The reserve is a dense forest and is the home of the last surviving one-horned rhinoceros of which only 50 remain. Ujung Kulon is accessible by boat and the closest departure point is Labuan on the west coast.

An entry permit is needed, issued by the Forestry Service (Perlindungan Hutan dan Pelestarian Alam) at Labuan. The dense forest provides a natural habitat for many species of rhinoceros, wild ox, deer, wild boar, panthers, crocodiles, snakes and birds. Visitors are only allowed up to the buffer zone where rustic accomodation is available on Peucang island where towers are erected to be able to observe the animals undisturbedly.

Marine life in the surrounding seas is a kaleidoscope of colors. Beautiful sea gardens are found off Peucang and Panaitan islands. There are no scuba facilities in Ujung Kulon. On the western tip of the peninsula is a lighthouse built by the Dutch which stands near the site of the ruins of the old one.

A stay of at least two days on the reserve is recommended where food provisions should be taken along.

Banten

This is the coastal area where the Dutch formerly landed to trade. Banten has few relics to show of its past grandeur, however, there are the ruins of powerful Moslem kingdoms such as the palaces of Surosowan and Kaibon, the grand mosque of Mesjid Agung Banten (1599) and a Dutch fortress and an old Chinese temple.

Baduy Cultural Conservation

The Baduy community in Banten is an utterly unique and closed society which can be reached via a 10 km village road from either Cibolegar or Cibungur village in the Leuwidamar district. The 50 km road from Rangkasbitung is steep. In April and May, the Baduy community is closed to outsiders, as during this time it commemorates certain ceremonies, called Seba, the offering of part of their agricultural products to the Head of the District, Sub-Regent and the Chief Resident. During this ceremony the "Puun of Baduy" sends out a group of representatives of Baduy Dalam people as well as Baduy Luar to act as the community's spokesmen. When conducting this Seba ceremony the Baduy Dalam members refuse to ride any vehicle, instead, the distance of 150 km is traveled on foot as proof of their perseverance.

To enter this very special Baduy area, one should obtain written permission from the Rangkasbitung District Office stating the purpose of the visit which may take one whole week to process.

Karang Bolong Beach

The name Karang Bolong means Rock (karang) with a Hole (bolong). This may have been some frozen lava, formed during the eruption of Mount Krakatau. The Rock forms a gate facing the sea, making it look very picturesque. There is a small forest which has been converted into a recreation spot. There is a river flowing down to the sea where people can have a bath of fresh water after swimming in the salty sea.

Salira Indah Beach

About 15 km from the Merak bus station is the Salira Indah beach resort, located at scening Tanjung Pujut.

This resort on Java's west coast can easily be reached within a few hours from Jakarta either by bus or car.

Dua Island (Pulau Dua)

Dua Island is the name of a small nature preservation inhabited by some 50 kinds of fish-eating birds. These birds originated from Africa, Asia and Australia and stay on this island to lay and hatch their eggs during April through August each year and fly back home afterwards. It is located in the Banten bay and is accessible by boat from Tanjung Priok sea harbor or from Marina, Ancol.

Pulau Manuk

A rocky isle of 500 m2, it is located 127 km south of Rangkasbitung or 120 km west of scenic Pelabuhan Ratu. The isle functions as a tide breaker as well, so that the inward beach is safe for a variety of marine sports which would have been threatened by the menacing tides of the Indian Ocean.

The isle has a forest conservation park and rubber estate.

Cirebon

Traveling northeast from Bandung towards the coast, the seaport of Cirebon offers a wealth of culture and history. Situated by the border of West and Central Java, it is a combination of both. There is an ancient royal cemetery where a holy sultan was buried which has become a place for pilgrimage at the Astana Gunung Jati

In the city itself, the ancient palaces (kratons) of the Kasepuhan and Kanoman now serve as museum which are open to the public, exhibiting house ornaments, paintings, calligraphy and other art treasures of the courts. The royal carriages are sumptuous in design, one of them a gilded coach in the form of a winged elephant. Across the square from the Kasepuhan Kraton is the "Mesjid Agung" (Grand Mosque) which is of a Javanese "Peak" architecture and made entirely of wood. Cirebon is also known for its distinct batik, now a flourishing industry which may be seen in the village of Trusmi. Another specialty this city can offer you is a wide range of seafood, probably the best in West Java.

The Prince Sumedang Foundation Museum

Located in the Pavilion of the Sumedang Regency building, in which relics of Sumedang's ancestors such as gamelan, spears, crown and royal clothes are exhibited.

Garut

A typical Sundanese town in the highlands, Garut is surrounded by volcanic mountains and vast tea plantations. Around this area are a few lovely lakes and hot springs, one of which is at Cipanas where comfortable accomodation can be found. People visit these sulfur springs which have medicating effects to purify their skin. Mount Papandayan's crater is probably one of the most spectacular mountain scenes on Java island.

There is the Cangkuang temple situated by Cangkuang Lake which was a major discovery of archaeological value as it was the first of its kind found in West Java, dating back to the 8th century. Situated 17 km from Garut, but 50 km from Bandung.

Tasikmalaya

Sixty kilometers from Garut, Tasikmalaya is known for its plaited mats, painted umbrellas and batiks of particular designs and colors.

Kampung Naga

The uniqueness of Kampung Naga is that in spite of its proximity to modern society, it has retained its traditional customs over the centuries. It is a small village in the beautiful mountains of the Salawu District, some 30 km from Tasikmalaya. Here the most important traditional ceremony is called the "Upacara Pedaran" which illustrates its age-old history and culture, held only once every year.

Carita Beach

Accessible from Jakarta over a fair road, you can reach it in less than 3 hours, one third of which is over a toll road which is being extended to the extreme western part of Java in Merak. Here again, most visitors arrive from Jakarta as Bandung is more than 6 hours away from Carita by road. At present Carita and surroundings have definitely got more hotels and other accomodation than those found in Pelabuhan Ratu, and is therefore better developed. It is also located on the way to ferry-crossings to Sumatra from Merak.

Besides white beaches behind hundreds of swaying coconut trees, one panoramic highlight is the visibility of the infamous Krakatoa Volcano from Carita, rising above the horizon in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatera. You won't have difficulties finding a place to stay here as many cottages, hotels and camping grounds are all available, not to mention the inevitable seafood.

Krakatoa Volcano

With devastating effects this volcano erupted just over a century ago in 1883, bringing its fine ashes with the wind streams as far away as over New York City, whereas the eruption's tidal waves reached the American West Coast. At that very instant, Krakatoa vanished as if devoured by the sea, causing formidable tidal waves which in turn swept off just about everything alive from the surrounding coastal areas. However, the disappearance of the gigantic Krakatoa also meant the birth of small islands in its place, one of which is called "Anak Krakatau" or Krakatoa's Child which is at present an extremely active young volcano. From both WestJava's West Coast and from Sumatra's Lampung Province, this young and very active volcano is clearly visible. A boattrip to this place may be worth making.

MASYARAKAT Bandung dan sekitarnya mungkin tidak semua tahu di mana letak Karang Gantungan. Padahal, tempat tersebut memiliki beberapa keunikan yang bisa menjadi andalan sebagai objek wisata alam (geowisata). Tempat ini terletak di Desa Gantur Kecamatan Paseh Kabupaten Bandung. Tepatnya 12 km dari arah Jalan Cagak Cicalengka-Warung Peuteuy.

Karang Gantungan objek wisata alam di Desa Gantur Kecamatan Paseh Kabupaten Bandung.*ERIYANTI/”PR”

Untuk menuju ke sana bisa menggunakan jenis mobil jip atau Kijang, sampai mulut hutan lindung Selasih yang berada di bawah KRPH Ciparay Kab. Bandung. Dari mulut hutan, objek wisata Karang Gantungan dapat ditempuh sekira 1 km berjalan kaki dengan kondisi jalan menanjak.

Dari survei awal yang dilakukan Dinas Pariwisata Kota, pada pekan lalu, objek wisata Karang Gantungan menarik dari sisi alamnya. Hal itu dapat dilihat dari awal mulut hutan Selasih. Naik beberapa meter, akan tampak undakan sawah yang menghampar sepanjang barat, selatan, sampai ke timur. Sedangkan tepat di arah utara, jalan setapak menyambut kita dengan deret pinus yang mengeluarkan bau khas.

Tak hanya hamparan hijaunya sawah dan pohon pinus yang menyambut kedatangan kita. Melangkah beberapa meter dari sana, Anda jangan heran bila sekawanana, monyet tiba-tiba menyongsong kedatangan Anda. Masyarakat setempat meyakini bahwa jumlah monyet itu selalu tetap 41, tidak pernah bertambah ataupun berkurang. Anda bisa percaya atau tidak.

Monyet-monyet ini dikepalai seekor monyet besar dengan satu di antaranya monyet betina yang selalu membawa anaknya. Kalau Anda tidak mau diganggu, jangan sekali-kali mengeluarkan makanan apa pun tanpa izin kuncen setempat, karena monyet-monyet ini akan terus mengikuti Anda.

Keramat

Menurut masyarakat setempat, objek wisata Karang Gantungan bukan saja bisa dinikmati sebagai tempat wisata alam. Tetapi juga diyakini menyimpan kekuatan keramat. Namun tentang kepastian tempat tersebut menyimpan keramat, tampaknya masih harus dilakukan penyesuaian dengan sejarah yang ada.

Menurut Eyang Anom, kuncen setempat, Karang Gantungan sering disebut juga Tawang Gantungan atau Batu Karut. Tempat ini awalnya disebut Gunung Surandil, tetapi kemudian gunung tersebut tilem menjadi Gunung Selasih.

Di kawasan seluas 3 ha ini, terdapat sebuah batu besar yang dicengkeram akar-akar beringin yang menjuntai. Sebelum sampai di lokasi, akan ditemui batu-batu besar berserakan yang sebelahnya mengalir sungai-sungai kecil. Di kiri kanan jalan terdapat berbagai jenis pohon seperti pinus, benda, teureup, koang, huni, pulus, beringin, dll.

Di atas batu Karang Gantungan, masih menurut Eyang Anom, terdapat pin. Semacam alun-alun (pelataran), di mana pengunjung bisa memandang jauh ke setiap penjuru selatan Bandung. Hanya saja, masih kata Eyang Anom, tidak semua orang bisa merasakan adanya tempat tersebut. Hanya orang-orang tentu dan percaya yang dapat merasakan kehadiran alun-alun tersebut.

Menurut Eyang Anom, pada tahun 2002 saat hutan sebelah Hutan Selasih kebarakaran, kawasan Karang Gantungan tidak terkena sama sekali. Begitu juga saat terjadi longsor, tempat ini seakan tidak pernah terjamah bencana alam. "Masyarakat bisa percaya atau tidak dengan kejadian di sini yang dinilai keramat," ujarnya.

The famous Hotel

Hotel Homan

The original form of Grand Hotel Savoy Homan Bandung which consisted only of ground floor. It had the impression of a building in Europe with its squared roof form and round canopy.
Savoy Homan Bandung until 1937 has been visited by world celebrities, such as : The King and Queen of Siam, The Prince and Queen of Belgium, The King Susuhunan Solo, The Governor General of Indo-China, and The Duchess of Westminster.

And many other guests followed, to name it actor Charlie Chaplin, and of course the state guests participants of Asia Africa Conference 1955, such as India President Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, China Prime Minister Chou En Lai, Egypt President, Gamal Abdul Nasser, and other V.I.P. guests.
Savoy Homan Bandung what we see today is the work of famous architect A.F. Aabers. The essential characteristics of the building lay on on two important element : the elegant horizontal line formed by the room corridor and the strong vertical line of its tower.
During its first golden period, Savoy Homan was managed by Mr. Fr. J.A. Van Es, as president director.

In the heart of the Sundanese culture, at the Savoyhomann Bidakara Hotel , where the splendor of past is complemented by today's modern luxury standards and facilities, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance and grace. The Savoyhomann Bidakara Hotel, located in the centre of Bandung,
has been maintained as the city's landmark hotel.

The accurate date when the hotel was built is not known. However we know that the oldest part of the hotel dates back to 1880. In 1938 the Savoyhamann Bidakara got its new design, the classic Art Deco design. It has been completely restored over the last few years to create an elegant ambience fulfilling our promise to our guests: The Splendor of Past, Today.

Grand Hotel Preanger

The new facade of Grand Hotel Preanger, Bandung, located in front of Grand Hotel Savoy-Homan.
Preanger seen from above. We could see in the picture the silhouette of mountainous area on the Eastern part of Bandung, in the surrounding of Mount Manglayang. The old timers could still remember how cool and spacious the old Bandung was.

The new shape of this building, was the artwork of Prof. C.P. Wolff Schoemaker, after had been back from United States, where he explored new ideas through his experience together with the famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. The influence is apparently manifested on the facade’s decoration of the hotel, along with the aim to absorb local ideals, as it was done by Frank Lloyd Wright himself by addapting his design to the native Indian decorative pattern in Mid-West America.
Comparing to Savoy Homan which exposes the beauty of simple curvilinear form, Preanger tries to perform the richness of ornamentation explored in local Indonesian culture.
Despite all critics toward the way the architect Schoemaker implemented local culture in way that some people regarded as naive, still the building of Grand Hotel Preanger is among the unique buildings that brings enchanting charms.

It has been half a century since Bandung’s famed Preanger Hotel first gained an international reputation. Designed in the Indische Empire style, it opened on Jl. Grooten Postweg (now Jl. Asia Afrika) in the 1920s. Later, it was redecorated with new art deco flourishes and a new name: Grand Hotel Preanger. In 1987, the Grand Hotel Preanger became part of the Aerowisata Group and was again renovated extensively.
Today’s Grand Hotel Preanger reflects a pleasant blending of deco design and Sundanese touches. Two historic sections - the Asia Afrika Wing and the Naripan Wing – have been joined by a gleaming new high-rise tower and public areas (lit by magnificent stained-glass skylights).

Sheraton Bandung

The Sheraton Bandung Hotel and Towers is located 6 kilometers from the city center on the slopes of Dago area. Surrounded by picturesque mountains and stunning city scenery, the hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes from the main business district.

Malya

Malya Bandung at Ciumbuleuit, is an exclusive four-star boutique hotel offering luxury and relaxation in a setting of natural beauty. The unique building, inspired by the art deco buildings in Bandung, is sited on a crest of a valley with spectacular view of the surrounding countryside and mountains beyond. Presenting a new symbol of beauty and nature: MALYA BANDUNG. Small, stylish, quiet...and exclusive.

Only 15 minutes from the city, this luscious retreat is designed to merge the incomparable beauty of nature and traditional Sundanese atmosphere with a touch of modernity. Stay in style, close to nature.

Place To Eat

2005-10-27T21:03:00.000-07:00

Bandung is heaven to satisfy your taste buds. From traditonal food sold by street vendors up to international ones in fancy restaurants. A warung is regarded as a poor man's restaurant. But on Jl. Bungsu next to Puri Mas Bakery, you could see the newest BMW and Mercedez parked in front of a small lane famous for its Sekoteng Ice. By far the best food money can buy and is served in these makeshift foodstalls with canopies, hardwood benches or stools, and glowing with hissing gas lamps. Open after 5:30 pm.

Groups of nightstalls located in the corner of JI. Merdeka and JI. L.L.R.E. Martadinata spread mouthwatering smells from sizzling sate on red hot glowing charcoal braziers. Try Madurese, chicken, beef, or mutton sate and various kinds of soto, an Indonesian thick soup. Jl. Cikapundung Barat stalls (occupying sidewalks used as a selling place for secondhand books at noon) serve all kinds of popular Indonesian food. Sate Padang Pak Datuk is worth a try.

Near the RRI building on Jl. Diponegoro, you can taste local delicacies such as gorengan (sort of Japanese tempura) from tofu, sweet potato, taro, pineapple, jackfruit, banana and comro (mashed cassava filled with fermented soybean cake). A sip of bandrek -ginger drink- and bajigur -coconut milk sweetened with palm sugar- in a cool night is a nice treat. A piece of sweet awuk (coneshape rice cake with layers of palm sugar) can be enjoyed in Awuk Cibeunying stall. Roasted corn on a cob with four flavors, seafood, Indonesian style Chinese food, pecel lele (fried eel fish with yummy sauce), fried goldfish and chicken porridge all are available.

Feel thirsty when strolling around Alun-alun, go to PakAceng's ice juice pushcart on Jl . Kapatihan in the mouth of a blind alley, next to 'Damai' shop (pay attention to 'Shinly' &'Krizia' billboards). Es campur (mixed ice) or if you want a sterile one, just ask for fresh orange juice with young coconut water placed in a plastic will be made for Rp. 750,-. Since 1967, Pak Aceng has been a famous es campur seller.

As a rule of thumb, warungs line and crowd in almost every intersection. But a good sense and luck play an important part in finding a good warung with fair price and nice food which does not upset your stomach.

Lotek Kalipah Apo, famous for its lotek and gado-gado since 1953, serves all kinds of sweet tasty kolek with thick coconut milk plus pieces of bananas, and rice cakes. A variety of rujak, Indonesian fruit salad, is ready to be tasted. Be wary of the hot sauce of the rujak. Avocado juice, mixed ice, young coconut ice and cendol ice, -colored rice drink with palm sugared coconut milk- can make you real aficionados of these desserts.

Stalls along Jl. Rama offer Indonesian style fried chicken, Chinese food, and much more. The best pempek -a sort of fish meatballs dipped in hot vinegar sauce- can be eaten in one of the stalls here. It's a Palembang specialty.

Craving for western delights, Tizi has a wide range of German touch bread, cakes, cookies, pan cakes, and steaks. A cart selling colenak(roasted fermented cassava root )at the mouth of Jl. Kidang Pananjung is also worth a try. Glosis with romantic lighting and cooler climate of an uphill area could be a perfect place for dinner. Braga Permai with its original Dutch era cake recipes would be a cozy place to recall the atmosphere of old Braga Street.

Queen Restaurant offers luxurious Chinese food while Dai Shogun serves qualified Japanese food, sit facing its heartsoothing garden. Paregu offers less expensive Japanese food with eat your fill Yakiniku and Shabu-shabu. Hanamasa on Jl. Merdeka serves buffet Yakiniku.
