My
Rich Hometown
Batang
Batang is my hometown,
I was born and also grown there . Batang is a small regency in Central Java, so
a lot of people from outside Central Java are unacquainted with Batang. They usually
know well about Pekalongan, but they forget about Batang altough Batang is the nearest
neighbour of Pekalongan. I am unsatisfy about the unfamiliarity of Batang, because
actually Batang is a rich regency with its potential from destination, tradition,
and also livelihood.
Batang
has several interesting destination in highlands , such as tea plantation named
Pagilaran, pine forest in Sikembang which is popular as photo spot for teenager,
some swimming pool in Bandar, some waterfalls, and also Jembatan Buntu in Subah.
Batang also has some destination in coast, such as Sigandu Beach, Ujungnegara Beach,
and Jodo Beach. There are also food tourism such as megono rice and seafood from
local fisherman. Batang also has some unique tradition such as Kirab Pusaka, Nyadran,
Dun-dunan, Mentak-mentik, Dragon Boat Competition, Ziarah, Kliwonan, Syawalan, and
many others. Those tradition are still exist in this modern era because the society
are aware that those are our assets. And about the livelihood in Batang, Batang
has a lot of livelihood that can give income in great quantities for Batang itself.
People who live in coast, they will be fisherman, and people who live in highlands,
they will be farmer. Batang is also famous with its harbor, besides that, nowdays
Batang builds the largest coal-fired power plant (PLTU) in South East Asia (ASEAN)
with capacity of 2 x 1000 MW (2000 MW). Of course it will give a lot of income for
Batang, and also give jobs for inhabitant of Batang.
Batang
is rich, wonderful, and pleasant. I love Batang and I will try to develop my hometown
and make it famous and known by other people in other place in Indonesia and also
in the world. And I will spend the rest of my life in Batang with its peacefulness
and richness.
