For those of you who want to visit Bone district, it's good to know in advance the Fun Place for Vacationing / Filling Time in Bone Regency. the following article:
1. Freedom Square (Lapmer)
Coordinating: 4 ° 32'20 "S 120 ° 19'39" E in the heart of Watampone, is a place that will be very interesting for you to visit while visiting Bone Regency. Indeed, Merdeka Square is a field that is usually used by the government as a place for formal ceremonies such as Independence ceremonies and other ceremonies.
However, as time went on, Merdeka Square became multi-functional. Aside from being a place of ceremony, it is also used as a place for street vendors (street vendors) to sell.
Almost every day, there will be dozens of street vendors lined up on the edge of the field, complete with their own carts. However, usually this independent field will be crowded at night. This might be because at night people don't have busy life, and can arrange time to go out at night or just hang out with friends ... especially for teenagers.
The visitors will be presented with various types of drinks (cold or warm) with friendly prices. Merdeka Square will start crowded since 19.30. You will see a sea of people flooding the outskirts of the Field. They will be engrossed in their respective chats. The atmosphere is dim, the cool night air and the natural atmosphere that exists will make them not aware of time.
The street vendors deliberately prepare chairs in front of their respective carts as a place to sit and hang out for the teenagers. And you don't need to be tired of approaching the merchants to order, because there will be a waiter approaching you and offering a menu of food or drinks that you will order.
Aside from being a hangout for teenagers, Merdeka Square was also used several times as a concert venue for the Capital City Band. There are already several capital city band artists who have concerts there. Call it The Virgin, Fleet, Geisha, Fadly adi Padi ’, and several other bands. It seems that the independent field has become a separate icon for the city of Watampone. So, it's not wrong if I say that your visit to Bone District or Watampone City will not be complete if you don't visit Merdeka Square.
(However, a few months ago, the local government closed this area. By reason of the beauty of the city administration, the traders who usually traded on the Lapmer were moved around Jl. Mangga, Near the Bone Trade Center)
2. Bone Trade Center
In accordance with its name, the Bone Trade Center or often abbreviated as BTC is a Modern shopping center in Bone Regency. This place is one of the favorite places for teenagers to spend free time. The size or size of the Bone Trade Center is indeed nothing compared to the size of shopping malls in Makassar and other big cities. However, this place has at least been able to treat the people's curiosity towards modern shopping centers.
consists of three floors, with the first floor filled with lots of shoes traders, cellphones, and watches. On the 2nd floor is dominated by clothing sellers and some cellphone sellers, while on the 3rd floor is more for sellers of toys or goods for small children. But, of course not only the items mentioned above are available at BTC. There are certainly many more items that we can find and can also be brought home (If you have money :: J)
basically, this place is indeed a shopping center. But, not a few people especially teenagers who only come to this place to wash their eyes and relax with their friends. They have absolutely no intention of buying goods. They really only intend to take a walk to fill their empty time.
For you, the Visitor in Bone Regency has a good idea when it comes to BTC, not just for a walk. But, better if you buy something. What's more, typical items from Bone can be found here.
3. D’Kotak / Arta Inn
Both are family karaoke places. D’kotak is located on Jl. Jenderal Sudirman, while Arta Inn is on Jl. General Ahmad Yani. The location of both of them is quite far apart, but still in the city of Watampone. Actually there are still many karaoke places in Watampone city, but it turns out that only these two places have high popularity. When you ask about karoeke place issues, there is no doubt that almost all bone people will answer D’kotak or Arta Inn.
Actually Arta Inn appears far earlier than D’kotak, but it seems that the promoters from D’kotak are deft, so that little by little it can rival the prestige of Arta inn. There have even been a number of teenagers who say that visiting D’Kotak is more exciting than visiting Art Inn. Because indeed by visiting D’kotak you will find 2 benefits at once. Besides being able to karaoke, it turns out you can also eat and eat ... because D’kotak is adjacent to Diamond Cafe n Resto so you don't need to worry if you have to starve in the karaoke room. Karen, after finishing singing, you can go to Diamond and order food.
It's really a place that can't be missed from the Hang Out target.
4. Cape Palette
Is a vacation spot No. 1 in Kab. Bone. Its location near the beach makes it strategic as a vacation outlet. Not so far from Watampone city center. Here you will also find a minimalist bathing pool, suitable for family or friends. While taking a bath, you will also see a magnificent view of the sea. The cost of vacationing in this place, nothing to worry about, is very affordable.
At Tanjung Palette you can also experience Villa facilities if you feel the need to stay overnight. Villa rates are also very affordable, available in all classes.
5. Panker
This is the 2nd hangout place for Bone teenagers after Merdeka Square (Lapmer). His name is a little strange. You won't find the word in the bugis language dictionary though. PANKER stands for "Dry Beach". So named, because when you visit there, you will find that there are a lot of people who are sitting around enjoying drinks while on the beach. This is the reason why people call this place Dry Beach. ‘’ Looks like a beach, but without water ”.
Similar to Merdeka Square, in Panker there are also various types of drinks. However, in Panker you can also order other than drinks. There are many types of fried foods, and of course you can overcome a little of your hunger.
Talking about the place, maybe Panker is a little more strategic than Lapmer. Because when it rains, you don't need to be busy looking for shelter. You can still relax sitting, and mingle with colleagues. Unlike the Lapmer, you have to rush to find shelter when it rains, because the concept presented there is more natural. Without shade.
(Panker also suffered the same fate as Lapmer. This place was closed and moved to Jl. Mangga).
6. Garden of Flowers (TB)
Adjacent to Merdeka Square makes this place a crowded place for visitors. Not only in the morning, even at night you can meet many people. It is called the flower garden because when you enter this park, you will find many types of flowers that are certainly not boring to look at.
1 famous thing about this place is the 'Arung Palakka' Statue, which is one of the Kings of Bone. And become the most famous King in Bone. Not a few people who visit the Flower Garden are only to look at the statue. The height of the statue is more than 2 meters, and according to information circulating that the Height of Arung Palakka in the Statue, is the same as the height of the original body that he had.
But, maybe my advice, Weekends are an effective time to take a walk to this place. Because on weekends you will find many activities. Starting from the Reading Park, Children 's Aktiftas, and many others. Which of course will be very dear if you must not witness.
