Bandung West Java

Bandung is the capital city of West Java, Indonesia. Nicknamed Parijs van Java (Paris of Java) by the Dutch for its resemblance to Paris and European atmosphere back at the colonial times. Located at the altitude of 768m with the surroundings of lush and beautiful Parahyangan mountains makes the climate mild and pleasant. The city has been well known for the universities, apparel products and a great place for gastronomic adventure. Nowadays, Bandung has become a very popular weekend escape for Jakartans, who would crowd the city on weekends and national holidays. It takes about 2.5 hours to reach Bandung from Jarkarta by car. I was here for a weekend to visit my old schoolmate's farm http://www.amazingfarm.com/.

Some photos here were taken by my co-traveller Dr PK Ong whose gallery can be found at https://pbase.com/virtualink/bandung&page=1.

A good brief description of Bandung. A good glimpse of the mountain area of Bandung. A picture worth's a thousand words.
