My Hometown
Hi, I am Ranti. I want to tell you about my hometown, Pesisir Selatan, West Sumatera, Indonesia. Its capital is Painan.

It is far enough from padang. We can go there by public transportation that available from 6.00 a.m until 9.00 p.m. It is about 150 kilometers or five hours from Padang. The north of Pesisir Selatan is bordered by the city of Padang, the east by District of Solok and Jambi province, south by Bengkulu province, and the west by the Indonesian ocean.

Before the formation of the province of West Sumatera, Pesisir Selatan is part of The District of Pesisir Selatan and Kerinci period of Central Sumatera. Now, Pesisir Selatan become one district and Kerinci become one province, too.

The weather of Pesisir Selatan is hot but not too hot. In the morning and at night it is cold and at noon it is hot enough. At noon the temperature is about 23 to 32 degree Celsius and at night about 22 to 28 degree Celsius (based on Wikipedia).

Most of the Pesisir Selatan population depend on agriculture crops, fisheries and trade. The other potential power sources are the plantation and tourism. Plantation sector, especially oil palm plantation, has begun to grow rapidly since the last ten years which is located in District Pancung Soal, Basa Ampek Balai, and Lunang Silaut that involving several national investors.

Pesisir Selatan has beautiful natural panorama and fascinating. The nature is still clean and green because there is less factory and less vehicles so that the air is less pollution. Besides, Pesisir Selatan is famous by its beach. The beaches have beautiful under water marine life, clear, and white sand. We can run on the beach without sandals because it is clean and safety. There is no pollution in the sea so that we can do swimming and surfing.

Pesisir Selatan is also known by its food, Rendang Lokan. Rendang lokan is a special food from one of the district of Pesisir Selatan, that is Air Haji. This food is so delicious. If you want to taste it, please come to this place. There are many seashells (lokan) at Muara Indrapura with a depth about 16 meters. When taking seashells, divers do not use the tool at all.

Pesisir Selatan is the most beautiful place that I have ever seen. I will always miss my hometown wherever I am. If you want to have the nice and the unforgetful experiences please come and visit my lovely hometown.
