The legendary Tapak Tuan Tapa tourist spot

Back again with me here and how are you today, hopefully everything is fine and continues to develop. Here I have been in a tourist spot that has a unique history about this place, this tourist spot has a beautiful and peaceful sea view in it, many visitors come to see the remains of the place that is still remembered until now, not just a tourist spot but we can also see and learn some of the history that happened before, the story of the origin of the formation of footprints on the rocks has also been written on boards along the road and has also been printed on a tegu there.

This first place picture is what invites all tourists to come here and witness for themselves how big the footprints of the master of meditation are and that has been told before, the footprints have been around for a long time even if they are manipulated it might be known by many people, but the footprints have become a legend and many of them confirm it.

The formation of the big footprints was because the master of meditation had a large and tall body, when two dragons from China or mainland China came to the master of meditation because they were expelled from their country and the master of meditation welcomed them very well there, but one day the two dragons found a baby in the ocean and took care of it, the master of meditation allowed them to take care of the baby but if one day the parents or family of the baby wanted to pick it up they had to be willing to return it to its parents.

The small and cute baby has now grown up and has been given a name, namely the youngest daughter, they took very good care of it. so that one day a ship docked on the island because they heard that their child was still alive and was now on an island where the master of meditation was, when the parents of the youngest daughter wanted to take her home but the dragon was reluctant to return her, that's why the master of meditation got angry and jumped from the top of the cliff to defeat the dragon so that it left footprints on the rocks.

This is a park located beside the city road with a sign that says welcome to the city of Tapak Tuan indicating that we are already in the city. This park is clearly visible when traveling into the city because it faces on one side only.

The journey from the park is almost over and we are already at a gate to the tourist spot, the gatekeeper asked for an entrance ticket of Rp5,000 per person and we are here with 10 people, maybe if with the current steem price it is 2steem dollars per person.

The Tapak Tuan Tapa tourist spot also provides a parking area for motorbikes and cars at the bottom, this tourist spot also provides toilets for tourists who visit this place and also a prayer room for worship, I only took pictures from above and we have to go up to be able to see the footprints.

It looks beautiful from the sea and also some other views such as high cliffs and coral rocks below, this is where Tuan Tapa jumped and left footprints on the rocks, I have heard stories that the remains of Tuan Tapa's left footprints when taking a run-up when jumping are still there until now but I have never gone to see it.

To see Tuan Tapa's footprints we have to walk on a narrow path beside the cliff that has been fenced with cement to guard tourists when visiting, after that we will climb the wooden bridge that has been provided by the guard, walking on the wooden bridge is only 30 meters and the footprints are at the end of the road.

Previously we could go down and be on the footprints but now we are no longer allowed maybe to guard visitors, the wooden bridge has been decorated with circles on top and also knick-knacks to make it more beautiful and the bridge fence has also been painted red so that it can always protect itself.

This place is not just a tourist spot but this place is also called the Origin of Tapak Tuan City, they put up a story about it along the wooden bridge to the Tapak Tuan Tapa location so that visitors know the story of the origin of the name of this city. Let's see here.

It can be seen in the initial picture that the ascetic is with a pair of dragons in the ocean, on the blackboard this story has been told in long writing.

this is the first and second chapter of the story.

this is the next story from the third and also part four.

Continued with parts five and six

Now we have reached part seven and eight.

Still ongoing and now part nine and ten.

Now coming to parts eleven and twelve.

Now comes the thirteenth story and ends with the fourteenth.

It can be seen from here that signs have been installed along the road with the legend story.

Here I am below and with a Tapak Tuan Tapa monument behind, the monument is made of cement with a footprint on top, the footprint is also designed in such a way using cement, not forgetting to write a historical story about the place which is now a legend. Maybe that's all I can tell about the Tapak Tuan Tapa tourist spot.

It would not be complete if we did not take a picture with our family, we decided to stand and take pictures as one of the unforgettable memories. Because the weather was hot, I went to the side of the hill to avoid the scorching sun and just watched them take pictures.

Hopefully this can be one of the beautiful memories and we can be together without any hostility, may Allah bestow His mercy and safety for all of us in this world and the hereafter, actually I still want to be here longer but our journey home is very far and it takes five hours to get home, we have to leave immediately and go home.

the beautiful scenery that has been provided here so I have to take pictures again, a memory will be stored here and it may take a long time to be able to come here again, a beautiful city leaves a beautiful story in this city and still leaves traces of the story so that it can be seen by tourists

How interesting is not it,,!!! Maybe that's all I can write about my journey to this place and more than that I don't understand, maybe others understand the story more clearly, the journey to get to this place takes a long time and here we get a lesson about the story of our city and it has been clearly visible before our eyes. Maybe that's all and greetings to all. And my greetings also to one of the Indonesian admins @miftahulrizky and also @pennsif who have provided guidance for me and also other friends.
