On the north side of this beach, we can see the foothills of Mt. Padang from afar. Also, there are two small islands, namely Pulau Pisang Kecil (Pisang Ketek) and Pisang Besar (Pisang Gadang), which are not far from this beach. Apart from the natural scenery and the waves, this beach cannot be separated from the legend of Malin Kundang. The legend of Malin Kundang is undoubtedly one of the recognized folklore of West Sumatra. In fact, its popularity has spread so much in various parts of Indonesia that it appears on the big screen in several different versions. This wise story is often told as a parable about the importance of being devoted to your parents. This legend tells how a father's anger can bring disaster to a rebellious son. As the successful traveler explained, Malin Kundang returned to his village after years of wandering. He returned with his wife and a large ship and his servants. It is said that when he arrived in Malin's hometown, he was reluctant to admit that his birth mother was poor, and even cursed and kicked her out. Due to a broken heart, the mother cast a curse and turned Malin to stone. At the southern end of this beach we see a rock that looks like a kneeling person. The stone is believed to be Malin Kundang, which was turned into watercolor and turned into stone. Around it we can also find stones that resemble the ruins of the ship walls that people believe are part of the Malin shipwreck. There are also wooden pulleys and barrels that look highly detailed like ropes and wooden barrels turned to stone.

This time we explored one of the waterfall tours in Padang Pariaman Regency, more precisely the Batu Garbagek waterfall tour in Sungai Geringging sub-district. Arriving at Sungai Geringging district, we have to go to Korong Ladang Rimbo Nagari Sungai Sirah. while heading to Batu Garbage Waterfall with a relatively uphill road, and there is also an open road to shorten the distance to Batu Garbage Waterfall. Exotic natural scenes with very beautiful nature will spoil our eyes when we head to the waterfall. Batu Basurek waterfall consists of three levels, each level has its own uniqueness. Getting to the third level is a struggle because the terrain is more difficult and you have to deviate from the paths. The growing information shows that the Batu Basurek waterfall has a secret, which is why the locals call it Batu Bersurek. This mystery is said to have something to do with Bujang Sembilan's arrival at the waterfall, leaving a message written on a rock. The legend of Bujang Sembilan is said to be related to the story of the formation of Lake Maninjau in Agam Regency near the Batu Bersurek waterfall. But we can't see the Bersurek stone. Those who can see it are missing people in the area lost in the Bunian escape. After it was found a few days later, it was this man who told me that he had seen the Bersurek rock.

Istano Basa Pagaruyung was once the residence of King Alam and also the center of government for the Confederation system, led by a triumvirate (three tribal chiefs) nicknamed "Rajo Tigo Selo". This system of leadership made Raja Alam the leader of the kingdom assisted by two of his representatives, namely the native king who was based at Buo and the Raja Ibadat who was based at Sumpur Kudus. These two representatives regulate various matters related to morality and religion. However, when a problem is not resolved, Raja Pagaruyung (Raja Alam) steps in to resolve it. The original palace building was originally located on Broken Stone Hill. After the events of 1804, the palace was rebuilt but burned down in 1966. On December 27, 1976, rebuilding efforts were underway again when the then Governor of West Sumatra, Harun Zain, marked the removal of Tuo Stump ( main pillar). The palace was rebuilt in its new location on the south side of the original building in its current location. On February 27, 2007, the palace caught fire again due to a lightning strike. The reconstruction took place between 2008 and 2012 and cost more than 20 billion rupees. The original architecture has been preserved, although most of the precious remains of the interior have been destroyed and only 15 percent remains. HOW TO GET THERE The distance from Istano Basa Pagaruyung to Padang, the capital of West Sumatra, is about 110 km, while from the center of Batusangkar sub-district the distance is about 5 km. If you travel via Bukittinggi via Baso, the distance is about 45 km from Payakumbuh. It is about 40 km, from Solok 55 km.
