Good night to all my beloved hive friends ♥️
This is my trip a few weeks ago to Bangka beach in Lhokseumawe district, this is an experience that I think is very interesting to share here because it concerns my trip and the best experience I can get there. Under the hot sun I also drove my motorbike at normal speed, this trip was not rushed so I could enjoy every breath calmly. This trip took about 2 hours and of course there were many things and moments that I got, until there were some natural beauties on the side of the road that made me choose to stop for a moment to capture its beauty.
In some areas, it is currently the rice planting season and there are also some areas that have just finished harvesting, this also depends on the weather. This is a natural view that I took in the Kuta Blang area and this is an area that is still included in the Bireuen city area. At that time, I deliberately stopped for a moment to rest, but coincidentally the natural beauty on the side of the road also became a beautiful object for me to photograph.
From this area I only need about an hour to get to Bangka beach, once we enter the Bangka beach area we first pay the entrance ticket, and for one vehicle the ticket price is priced at IDR 10,000 in Indonesian currency, - per vehicle, and this is a fairly cheap price to be able to enter this beautiful beach area. After buying the ticket I also got off the motorbike for a moment to capture some of the natural beauty in the form of a river that leads to the sea or is often called a river estuary.
And when we arrived at our destination, we immediately ordered food and sat on the chairs on the beach, this has become a routine for me when visiting the beach. My partner and I sat and rested on the chairs while enjoying the beautiful charm of Bangka beach which gave rise to a sense of joy and happiness.
And this incident happened when my partner and I were about to walk towards the beach to play in the water, and suddenly there was an unusual sight that I managed to see from a distance.
From a distance I saw several young men pulling ropes from the sea, seeing this incident made me very curious about what they were doing, so some ridiculous statements came to my mind that there was no way they were draining the sea water Lol, with great curiosity I started walking towards the young men.
The ropes they pulled also looked very strong and the pull was also very tight, but I still had no answer to what they were doing. I waited a few minutes on the shore until suddenly an old man approached me, and I immediately took the opportunity to ask about what the young men were doing with the ropes from the sea.
After hearing the statement made by the old man, I immediately understood and understood what the young men were doing, and it turned out that they were pulling fishing nets, and this activity must be done together or by several people, and I will explain a little information about how this traditional tool works, so before being pulled, these nets will first be taken to the sea using a boat, and most likely the distance is about 500 meters from the shoreline, the nets that are taken to the sea must also be circular so that both ends of the rope must remain on the shoreline, so that the fish will be trapped in the middle of the circular net area, and then the fishermen will pull both sides of the rope towards the shoreline and over time the net will also shrink, and this activity also takes quite a long time, which is about 2 hours so that the nets in the sea have been pulled to the shoreline, and after arriving at the shoreline, the fishermen only need to take the fish caught in the net
Luckily, at that time the work was almost finished and maybe I only had to wait about 45 minutes until the net was successfully pulled to the shore, and when the net was on the shore, that was when many residents gathered to see the fish that had been caught.
And this is where many things can happen, some buy fish directly on site, some just comment. Fishermen have also separated the large fish to another place so that when they are about to be transported to be sold, the fishermen will no longer experience difficulties later.
Likewise with me, at that time I was just looking around but of course learning things like this would be very interesting, at that time I also had a short chat with the fishermen who were resting, and the main thing I asked was about this activity, according to them this activity has been around for a long time and is one of the customs in my area, namely Aceh, and in my area this activity is often called Tarek Pukat
With this incident, I immediately realized that I was still very stupid and there was still a lot of knowledge that I didn't know. This is about my journey, and this journey also managed to bring me a lot of new knowledge and experience.
After all the fish were transported to be sold, the people who had gathered around started to go home, and so did I. And the next thing I did was just play in the water on the beach with my partner.
The time I spent on this trip was quite enjoyable, until when it was already evening we decided to immediately make our way home, we always felt happy and satisfied on the way home, and right when we had entered the city of Bireuen we were immediately greeted warmly by the beautiful charm of the sunset, to capture this beauty I also took pictures of it in several different places.
Well, those are some pictures and stories from me in this post, I really hope that this post can provide entertainment for all of my friends. All of these pictures are purely my own, I took this picture using an Infinix 10 Pro cellphone and edited this picture using the Lightroom application.
