A Romancing Date with Nature

Halo-halo Bandung!!! That is the Bandungnese way of saying 'Welcome to Bandung'!

Separated by hills, mountains, tiny towns and villages some 180 kilometers away from Jakarta is Bandung. Bandung's charm as an old city trails back to five centuries ago. From its humble beginning as part of the Padjajaran kingdom to the administrative capital of the Dutch colonial ruler, Bandung is today serving as the proud capital of the West Java province. In 1946, local rebellions to drive away the colonial ruler was recorded in the history textbook. Dozens of building were destroyed and set on fire. A historical chapter known as 'Bandung lautan api' (or literally translated to 'Bandung - Ocean of Fire'). The song 'Halo-halo Bandung' expresses the passion, loyalty and love that the Bandungnese have for their homeland. A line that has now become the signature greeting of the Bandungnese to all visitors.
