What kinda view can you get on this spot?
Well you can enjoying a view of sulfur that stay still under the mountain mouth of Tangkuban Perahu.
What kinda name is Tangkuban Perahu?
Well, Tangkuban Perahu is one of dormant volcano at Bandung - West Java - Indonesian.
This title was coming from a legend story of Sundanesse culture , whereas a failed relationship between a man named Sangkuriang that falling in love with her own mother.
(So complicated yeap - ...)
Somehow his mum was knowing that the man who falling love with is her own blood, so with a creative way she made a requirement to Sangkuriang.
Her mum said "You can be my husband as if you can build a dam on the Citarum river and a big boat to cross it before the sunrise is coming"
Without so many argue of it Sangkuriang then tryin' to figure it out by helped of some mythical creatures. All of that "things" working in a diligent way, so that Sangkuriang almost done it before sunrise. ALMOST ...
Fortunately, her mum - Dayang Sumbi is knowing that and soon thingking another trial to break down Sangkuriang initiate to marry her.
And bam! She get's a good one ... She was success to make those creatures stopped working with giving a light effect that made a day brighter and the chicken is gobbling.
Dayang Sumbi glad to her deceison, otherwise Sangkuriang is feeling upset for everything. He kicked the big boat and unfinished dam that causing a flooding after. A big boat is inverse , that's why Sundanesse give it name "Tangkuban" = "Inverse" and "Perahu" = "Boat". Simplification is an inverse boat that causing a flood on the river.
