Just imagine if you were surrounded by red, yellow, and orange, how did you feel? Of course, you are very happy and become the most loved person in the world. Well, this time I want to share my journey to Celosia Garden in Alue Piet Village, Panga District, Aceh Jaya Regency.

To get to this place, you don't need to worry because the road to here is very good, as far as I know this national road is the road to the West and South. When this street made, I was still in duty here. Smooth roads and beautiful scenery without conscious you arrive here quickly. But you must be careful while driving, because cows and buffaloes are often clustered sitting on the road. So, this my proof about the road to here.

Ok guys, this Garden was viral a few months ago, even though Indonesia already had several Celosia Flower Garden that already existed, namely Celosia Bandungan Celosia Garden in Semarang, Kukup Mentari Celosia Garden in Gunung Kidul, Asri Flower Garden in Bantul, Ramadanu Celosia Garden in Magelang, Celosia Garden in Yogyakarta and the most recent is Celosia Flower Garden in Aceh Jaya that I visited today. Take a look for the Celosia Flower.

Yeah, if long time ago I only be able to enjoy Indian films with Celosia flowers, or hear the stories of my friends who came back from the Netherlands and told about the beauty of this flower, this time I see it for myself, and it is true, this garden is truly beautiful as my expression at the beginning of this writing. First, I thought this Garden would be temporary, but based on the story of the garden security guards, the windmill would be built like in the Netherlands, there is also the Miniature City of Sidney and the miniature construction of the Eiffel Tower like in Paris later. Now from what I saw there, the construction of the Dutch House Model still in progress now.

How my trip here ? I departed from Banda Aceh to Aceh Jaya with about 3 hours to get this place. And throughout my trip, it is very clear because Aceh Jaya has beautiful mountains and fantastic beaches. On several occasions I revealed this was a very valuable thing to attract tourists to visit Aceh Jaya. You must know, Aceh Jaya is the best place to see sunset and some beaches here are still very natural. And now Aceh Jaya also has this garden. It is possible to make this Garden the first step for that purpose, then tourists will see for themselves how the natural beauty here.

You know, the entrance ticket to this Garden is only ten thousand rupiahs, and you can do whatever you want in this Garden. Prepare a large space to store your photos in the gallery. Here, several facilities are available such as parking area for vehicles, as well as several small houses for shelter and prayer rooms for Muslims. According to the ticket keeper's story, other facilities such as toilets and unique seating will be provided by the local government next.

Besides that, I want to inform you because this flower only lasts for about 6 months, so the owner has prepared some new land for new plants, and some have grown and flowered but are still small. But this did not escape being targeted by several people to shot around it.

From a photography side, I do not recommend you to come here on the weekends, or in afternoons day on weekdays. Why ? This Garden is still new and people were very crowded at that time. So you will find it difficult to get a good angle, your concentration will be dispersed because suddenly someone stands right in front of your camera. Take a look how crowded here. For sure, I am very to shot and get a large space for these flowers.

https://tripsteem-en.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/origin/IMG_7672-1550419089300.JPG

My advice, you must came here in the morning, but not in Friday because this place closed, respect for culture here. Almost forgot, the rule here is you have to dress politely and not be open dress, and if the prayer time comes, you must stop all activities in this garden, to respect Muslim people. The garden is open from 08.00 AM and closes at 6:00 PM every day.

*(in english : Announcement : The Garden Closed on Friday)*

The security guards here are friendly, they really respect visitors, want to help to take your picture if you don't carry a selfie stick. A little note of their firmness arises if you damage the flower, step on it and pick it. This is natural guys, because you come to enjoy it not to destroying this beauty. And I'm very proud when I come here, because this Garden has made some business here come alive, food and beverage sellers are here, some small shop outside the Garden area are becoming more crowded. Of course this is very good for increasing the economy of community here.

*(Another Announcement : You get a fine of one hundred thousand rupiahs per stalk if you accidentally pick and step on a flower)*

Finally, to make it simple, you can follow this path. There are two alternatives and this depends on where you go first. Like my path today, I chose from Banda Aceh City the to Lhong District and then to Lamno, and to Calang City, After 15 minutes you will get to Panga. All time maybe in 3-4 hours. But if you come from the West, then after the Meulaboh City, you will arrive at Teunom District, then to Panga with a travel time of 1 hour 30 minutes.

This is what I can tell you today, thanks @ trips.teem. Hopefully this article is useful and a guide for tourists who want to visit here. Is the information I provided complete ?? If not, please contacted me. Btw, ***All Picture here original by me, using Canon EOS 800D***
