Hello..

3 days earlier that is on Wednesday at 3.00 pm. I along with my family group went on vacation. I ride a motorbike while my family rides a car... I ride a motorbike because it's more fun. and in the middle of the trip, I also made a stop at one of the ancient mosques, namely the Shell Mosque which is located on the side of the Padang Tiji road, Jln Banda Aceh Medan as seen in the image below.

shell mosque

This mosque does not have a special window, the circle of the building is used as a window to get air in and out naturally.

as seen in the image above and also the image below.

from the front to the entrance on the right

This shell mosque only has three doors, the left, and right sides and the back.

when I started to enter from the right, I was immediately met with a long minaret in front of the mosque.

As seen in the image below.

from the door on the right.

I continued my journey. This time I entered the border between Aceh Pidie and Aceh Besar

This is the border of 2 countries.

still in 1 province with different districts.

border of 2 countries

when I started to enter the border.

like a different country. I thought.

but this is only a border crossing..there are no special conditions to enter it. As long as you have a passport. Because it is still in one province. only the different area is the district.

Passing the uphill road

when entering this area. there are many roads that we will find uphill climbs. like climbing a mountain..because this road is above the mountains of the Seulawah forest there are many ravines, therefore you have to be very careful to have a safe journey.
