The first time I will be visiting the province of Aceh. I will provide information about the province. If you travel to Aceh then you can make this blog as a basic guideline. 

Aceh's history
Aceh is the most western "Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia". The majority of the population of Aceh is the religion of Islam. Therefore Aceh is often called the "Serambi Makkah". Number of people of Islam in Aceh since ancient times there is a kingdom "Samudra Pasai." Samudra Pasai is the largest Muslim empire of its time. Kingdom was founded by Sultan Merah Silu, who later converted to Islam and changed its name and the title of Sultan Malik al-Saleh, or better known by the name of Sultan Malikussaleh as the first king who ruled the year 1267 AD - 1297 AD, around the 13th century. On December 26, 2004, Aceh was hit by a huge disaster. Tsunami disaster. The tsunami killed thousands of people. But now Aceh has recovered again. 

Aceh Traditional House
Acehnese house called Rumoh Aceh. Rumoh Aceh is home to the stage with a pole between 2.50 to 3 meters high, consists of three or five rooms, with one main room, called propagation. Rumoh Aceh showed expression of one's faith in god and nature of adaptation. Although only made of wood, leaf thatched roofs, and do not use nails, Rumoh Aceh can survive up to 200 years.




Aceh Traditional Clothes
Aceh has many types of traditional clothing. This is influenced by existing levels of social status in society so that didn't have a lot of custom clothing. But it is now customary clothing worn only if there is a marriage course.

1. Gendang is an instrument of music which many found in Aceh. This tool is made of jackfruit wood, goat skin and rattan. Making a drum that is by punching holes in the shape of jackfruit wood cylinder so as to resemble a drum body bambam. On the surface of the circles (left-right) fitted sheepskin, which was previously made from rattan plate with size just like the size of the drum circle.

Meeting made of hardwood (usually from the stems jackfruit), which after then given a rounded hole in the middle.Wood which has been given this hole called baloh. Baloh is larger at the top of the bottom. The top covered with goat skin while the bottom is left open. Voltage regulator clamps the skin or the skin is made of rattan wrapped with leather.




Aceh Traditional Dance
The famous dance in Aceh is "Saman Dance". This dance is very interesting because of the solidarity movement of the dancers. This dance is called Saman since created a cleric named Sheikh Saman Aceh at around XIV century AD, from the Gayo highlands.
