Jember’s Beautiful Sights

Most towns in East Java have beautiful sights to see. It could be either the natural tourism or the architecture of the town. Having the natural tourism is such a fortune since it is a gift from God that especially cannot be asked. However, the town’s architecture shows how the characteristic of the citizens are that can be organized. Usually, citizens of a town proud of the beautiful sights their town has, such as in my hometown. People, who live in my hometown, Jember, also proud of the beautiful sights my hometown have, though they are not only proud of but also keep its everlasting. Therefore, Jember, one of the many towns in East Java, has the most beautiful sights you will ever see; mountain of Argopuro, Center Park, and Papuma’s beach.

At the first time, you come into Jember, you will catch sight of Argopuro’s Mountain. It has such wonderful views that will be unforgettable. The woodland is still in its natural state and has not been used or changed by many people. The trees are growing in a huge size. You can meet weeds field that is really green, small river that its water stream down calmly, and also pine forest. In addition, there are some places called Taman Hidup’s Lake, Embek’s swamp, White’s River have its own unique vegetation. Taman Hidup’s Lake is a large campground where you can meet jungle pigs, mouse deer, and small antelope. Inside the lake, many fishes are living so that you can do fishing. Similarly, Embek’s swamp is a large area consisting river that the water is still flowing even though in dry season. Besides, edelweiss can be found in White’s River. Furthermore, do not be wondered if you see some monkeys are dancing in the trees. The chirping of birds adds the outstanding views. Next, in the top of this mountain, there is a remarkable peak. It is commonly called as Rengganis’s Peak. There are lime stones making this peak look so white, sulphur, holy place having stairs, and fungus. What an unforgettable views to be there! Those are all the more reasons for you to hike and notice the gorgeous sights of Argopuro’s Mountain.

After passing a drive-through Mountain of Argopuro, you will meet Jember’s Center Park waiting to be visited. The sight of the center park is really romantic, especially at night. There are many sparkling lamps in the both road and buildings. Music is played also there. It is not surprised that you can be asleep while you are staring at the center park. Jember’s center park has a green vast area that is consist of many courts for play. Everyday this area is always cleaned in order to keep clean, fresh, and nice-looking. All facilities are in apple-pie-order so that it makes a good sense of looking. There is still one thing you will not find in another town; Hawaii concept. Palm trees are standing brawnily, paving area is waiting nicely, and the wind is blowing lightly. Based on my experience in visiting other East Java’s center parks, Jember’s center park is the most exciting place having romantic views.

On the north of the center park, five miles from the town, an attractive beach named Papuma is located. Papuma’s beach has natural and exotic sceneries. Different from other beaches’ sand, Papuma’s sand is really clean and white. It looks like that the beach is still original. You are going to see the beautiful blue both the sea and the sky. The blue sea will tease you to bring your legs, at least, into its water. Moreover, this is a sexy bay decorated many unusual corals, leafy trees, and great waves. Boats are available also if you are willing to take a journey on the sea. Another way to see the wonderful sceneries is visiting The Sitihinggil’s Tower. That is a tower that can be used to see sceneries of Papuma’s beach from the top. Moreover, when you are in fortune, you are able to see either Cicak Hijau’s birds or pythons. It does not matter whether you are good in taking photos or not. Taking photo of Papuma’s beach will always be fantastic shoots since it has fantastic views from all other sides. I personally could say that Papuma’s beach is more beautiful than other beaches, even the well-known beach is in Bali.

Is there any others town in East Java that has such wonderful mountain, romantic town, and exotic beach? I do not think so if there is a better town that has those advantages except Jember. You should believe that Jember will give such beautiful views that you will miss to be left.
