Hi...everyone, How’s your life? I hope that it’s always very nice every time. Yup....! Look at the above picture !! Can you guess where I am? That’s right. I was in South Aceh which is one of Aceh’s districts with really fantastic landscape. You know what, guys? I love several views from this place. About this region, mostly, I love the mountains and the sea. I personally think that It’s always wonderful on my eyes. Well, having chance to visit it is the most spectacular moment for me. I really enjoy the big and high waves of the sea at the beach (Although, I am sometimes scared ๐). Then , Feeling the air at the top of the mountain is very fresh and you’ll find also once again fantastic scene from there. After all, I’m so impressed.
Okay, at the beginning of the year 2017, we ( my husband and I) visited a historical place of this region. It’s called Tuan Tapa Footprint. Actually, there was a history of Tuan Tapa which became a popular history of Tapak Tuan. So, do you know the story? I believe mostly Acehneses or maybe other people from out of Aceh know it very well even they can tell the legend to the children. However, I’m still having a good heart to tell you, buddies, about the history of Tapak Tuan..ehm..ehmm..okay here we go...
Long time ago, there lived a supranatural hermit named Syeikh Tuan Tapa who really obeyed to Allah S.W.T. Mostly, people of South Aceh believed that Tuan Tapa had a giant body. Meanwhile, the others believed that he was a human being with normal sized, but he had a supranatural power to change himself to be a giant.
One day, there were two dragons from China found a baby girl drifted in the middle of the sea. Afterwards, they looked after her until she became an adult girl. However, the parent of that girl was a king of Asranaloka kingdom. He knew that his daughter was with the two giant dragons. Then, the king asked the dragons to give her daughter back, but they refused it at all.
Finally, the king was success to run away with his daughter . Otherwise, that made the dragons were angry. Consequently, the king and the dragons chased each other in the middle of the sea till at the place of Tuan Tapa.

Feeling annoyed, Tuan Tapa got up from his meditation and he jumped out from the mountain to the beach cliffs. The trail of Tuan Tapa ( for more information see the above picture) is believed as his footprint, when he jumped out from the mountain. To make a short story, Tuan Tapa could defeat the two giant dragons and the princess (king’s daughter) could gather back to her family. Last story, they did not come back to the kingdom again, but they chose to stay in Aceh.
