Aceh was also once a mecca of knowledge. Many students from all over the world study at Baiturrahman University. In addition, Aceh is able to face prolonged war conflicts.
Yes, that was a portrait of Aceh. In addition, there are many resources, abundant natural wealth in Aceh. That's why Aceh deserves to be nicknamed "1001 Coffee Shops." Not only that, the food in Aceh is also delicious. Like Timphan, Pulot, Bhoi, also Ade Kaknah, and many more.
If you want to go to Aceh, for example to Takengon (Central Aceh). Well, that drink uses brown sugar, and a very distinctive taste on the tongue. Because bitter meets sweet, it will leave a unique taste on the tongue. But since talking about food and drinks in Aceh, it is certainly rich in culture.
Well, this is Aceh, we have a very rich culture, consisting of 12 tribes, diverse arts, and cultures. Aceh also has its own charm. Yes, this province in the far west consists of 12 tribes, namely, Aceh tribe, Devayan tribe, Tamiang tribe, Alas tribe, Aneuk Jamee tribe, Kluet tribe, Lekon tribe, Gayo tribe, Haloban tribe, Singkil tribe, Sigulai tribe, and Batak Pakpak tribe,
Each has its own culture, language, and customs. No wonder, you can find various arts and cultures in Aceh.
In literary arts, Aceh has a very famous tale, namely the Hikayat Prang Sabie, by Teungku Syik Pante Kulu. This tale tells about the Acehnese people who were steadfast and persistent in fighting the Dutch. For dance, Aceh has its own characteristics and uniqueness. Combining music and literature, with the repetition of simple dance movements, the Saman dance for example.

This dance, which originates from Gayo Lues, is connected to the spreader of Islam, named Syeh Muhammad Saman. The Saman dance, became a medium of preaching, as well as a unifier among the Gayo Lues community. While the traditional Acehnese house which is usually called "Rumoh Aceh." is also not just a place to live.
This house, which has survived for hundreds of years, reflects the closeness of the Acehnese people to the Creator. Extending from east to west, an effort by the Acehnese people to build an imaginary line with the Kaaba in Mecca.
But if the Saman dance, it is indeed one of the most famous traditional Acehnese dances. Maybe for those of you who are outside Aceh, like to come to an official event, there must be a Saman dance. The movement is also compact, there can be no mistake, that's the essence there. UNESCO, itself finally determined that the Saman dance is the most beautiful dance, also a great cultural art.
Aceh, will always be special, that's why I'm proud to be an Acehnese.
Greetings always compact.
