Rawa Gede Lake

Not only the lake attracts the locals, but it also has lured lots of outsiders over time. This explains why Situ Gede has been included in the list of the best vacation spots in Bekasi City. The question is what tourists can do once they arrive at the site. It is as simple as relaxation. That means visitors only need to sit by the lake and witness the panorama comfortably. For the information, the best time to do it is either in the morning or afternoon. The next common thing to do in Gede Lake is fishing. Lots of fishes live in the lake, so it would be easy to fish them. One thing, tourists should carry a fishing rod and other required fishing equipment if they want to enjoy the activity in a comfortable manner. It is because they won’t find any services or facilities from whom they rent those items. #urbanexplorer

Ratu Crater is an interesting place that can be visited by lovers of nature tourism. What makes this crater different from other craters is the diversity of river flow. Yes, the crater of the Queen is crossed by the Cikuluwung River for about 1 km. That’s the main attraction of this crater. Viewed from a distance, the river water looks blueish. However, as we approach, there will be a yellow color at the bottom of the river that is clearly visible. The yellow color is sulfur deposit. #wintergetaway #happynewyear #tripinspired #wintergetaway#tripinspired#happynewyear

DADI'S COFFEE | COZY & AESTETHIC DADI'S COFFEE GARDEN

Pancoran Mas Depok has always been a go-to for Depok residents and those from other areas looking for a coffee shop. There are many coffee shops in this area, and if you’re a fan of garden-themed cafes, Dad is coffee on Jalan Siliwangi is a great option according to Spotimin. "Dadi's" has been around for over a year, and the name itself is a tribute to the late husband of the owner, with many memories preserved in the cafe's decor. With its garden cafe concept, Dadi’s emphasizes its outdoor area, which makes up about 80% of the space, while the remaining 20% includes indoor seating on the second floor and a semi-outdoor area near the bar. Dadi’s has several spots perfect for #KawanjakartaCS who love taking OOTD or selfies. Spotimin suggests a few: First, the balcony on the second floor is open and highly sought after for photos, especially during sunset or when the lights are on. Second, the area around the bird cage, where you can sit on a bench, stand in the middle of the cage or among the climbing plants, and other spots. Lastly, the facade of Dadi's building, shaped like a cube, is very eye-catching. During Spotimin’s visit in October, Dadi’s was offering a promotion called "Special Lunch Deals," where for 50K, you get a Nusantara rice dish (options include Ayam Taliwang, Squid, Shrimp) plus an Ice Brown Sugar Milk Tea or Aren. It’s a great deal that guarantees you’ll be full. Additionally, there are other menus to try, including mocktails and pastries.
