After all, Bandung is one of the largest metropolitan cities in Indonesia with vast advancement in many sectors, including tourism. The government gives full support to the development of all the tourist landmarks in Bandung, particularly the swimming pools. The whole dedication and hard work for the development of Bandung are rooted back to the unusual history and legend. Once upon a time, Bandung was still an ancient lake in the middle of the mountains with no advancement in civilization. However, a natural phenomenon dried out the lake water, leaving a cavity to the lake surface and accompanied by the popular Mountain Tangkuban Perahu. Bandung citizens tend to connect this Tangkuban Perahu with the legend of Sangkuriang and Dayang Sumbi. It is said that Sangkuriang kicked a boat until it turned upside down and that the boat slowly turned into a mountain. Still, the folklore itself is contradictory to the scientific evidence that Tangkuban Perahu is the child of Mountain Sunda. Regardless of the legend though, further evidence noted that the drying lake was caused by the great eruption caused by Mountain Tangkuban Perahu 3,000 years ago. The molten lava from the mountain clogged Citarum River, which slowly dried up the water for years after years. Until finally, all that’s left from the lake was Situ Aksan in the 1960s, to which the Dutch East Indies government made it a tourist spot. However, civilization began to advance at a rapid rate and erased Situ Aksan little by little. News sources believed that the construction of the buildings and local settlements might be the cause of the erasure. By the 1970s, industrial factories were starting to occupy the land completely and erased Situ Aksan from the face of the Earth. All that was left from that landmark is now a settlement for the locals. Of course, unrelated to the legends and facts about Bandung, this city is now established as the most creative city in Indonesia. Dubbed as the “Smart city,” “Flower city,” and “Pilot project,” Bandung owns up to the nicknames with a plethora of things it offers. This includes not only the tourism potential in Bandung, but also the education, economy, governance, and technology.
