A cool photo of the Baksil City Forest, Babakan Siliwangi, Bandung

Taste, it's been a long time since I've harbored a desire to enjoy the urban jungle of Taman Babakan Siliwangi, better known as Baksil. Even though I spent a lot of time in the Jalan Ganesha area for more than 2 years, never once did I stop by one of the green open spaces (Green Area Public) in the city of Bandung, which since 2011 has been proclaimed as the world's urban forest by the United Nations.

Bacillus itself is a valley area formed by the Cikapundung River and has been the green belt area of the city of Bandung since the Dutch era. Got hit by the pros and cons a few years ago, the area that eventually came under management, the responsibility of the Bandung city government, is transformed into a popular tourist destination for sightseeing as well as sports in the city of Bandung.

In this 8-hectare area, Menong friends can explore the 2-kilometer pedestrian-only rides while enjoying the melodious sound of birds and squirrels jumping from branch to branch. This forest walk stretches from the Jalan Siliwangi to the Jalan Tamansari area with a fresh forest atmosphere. Equipped with park benches for just a place to rest and chat with family or friends.

Door Baksil's main gate is located on Jalan Siliwangi. If you haven't had breakfast, Menong's friends can enjoy snacks at neatly lined stalls with prices that are not too expensive. There is no entrance ticket; Menong friends only need to prepare parking fees. Ample parking space is available for cars and motorcycles.

Location Baksil is close to Cikapundung Terrace and Bandung Zoo, and Menong's friends can continue sightseeing to Punclut or Taman Hutan Raya Ir. H. Juanda within half an hour. Baksil is also adjacent to the Ganesha sports facility (Saraga), equipped with an athletics track, a football field, futsal field, basketball, volleyball, and tennis, a fitness center, and a swimming pool.
