White Crater at Ciwidey

White Crater or Kawah Putih is one of tourist destination place in West Java or Bandung Regency area. This place is located on the hill of Ciwidey, where a lot of strawberry farms are cultivated by the local peoples. This crater is almost all look white as the sulphuric phenomenon is very strong presence in there with its smell and vision. The crater is almost like a lake with misty weather and little rain in most of the day during this rainy season. Most of the visitors are domestic tourist and not many foreign visitors in there when I came to visit the place. Before coming to the crater we will enter the gate and a climbing street with a lot of pine trees and steep along the street. When we want to enter the crater there were also many food stalls offering foods and drinks, as well as strawberry and chocolate fudge as its skin. There were also some souvenirs shops selling balaclava, hand gloves, sweater, dolls, slayers to protect from cold weather. Since the dutch colonization from Jung Huhn era and Japanese occupation in Indonesia, this place had been expolited for its sulphuric resources.
