Taman Kencana Bogor

I never feel any bored to visit and get around Bogor. Though this city getting crowded. Still, I can breathe freely without any doubt, especially in the heart of this city. One of my favorite spot to release boredom and exhausted mind better than get into shopping mall or department store. I guess most of Bogorian has visited this park.. Yeah, Taman Kencana.

This park was built in 1920's with Renaissance style. My lecture ever told us that the name of 'Kencana' comes from 'kereta kencana': a cart that drawn by the horse. In colonial era, the cart used to be park here.The design of the pattern taken from the English flag (it is like a cross 'X'). The surrounding of this park are the settlement built by the Dutch. Green corridor linked and filled with  huge trees and plants; will comfort you anytime you want to get walk around here. The air is good enough for your health. And you will see a lot of old houses and buildings scattered in this area, harmony with the nature. Then this place must be preserved, right :D

So, do not just only visited the Bogor Botanic Garden (Kebun Raya) if you are visiting Bogor City. You are also have to visit this place. Besides, there are a lot of foods and culinary spot around this park if you want to take a meal. One of them are Warung Taman and Agripark IPB. There are also many hang-out places, hotels, restaurants around here. Lot of food carts are also you can find easily. Don't worry, you will not get any hungry in this city :D

The namesign of this park symbolize the historic. See the font type? I think that is so beautiful

Deer statue in the central part of this place. Symbolizing the Bogor. Unluckily this statues attract children to play and ride. So please pay attention: those statues are just for watching and aeshtetical reason :D
