4. Study Tour

(December 2, 2018)

4-1. Tour A: Natural Environment
By Wen LIU, Program Assistant Professor, GSGES

Study Tour A was held on December 2, witharound 60 participants. The bus rocked heavily up
and down for nearly four hours from the center ofBogor to Desa Wisata Malasari, which is a tourist
village located in front of the gate to Halimun National
Park, Mount Halimum Salak, West Java Island. The
participants enjoyed the spectacular landscape ofthe mountain, where tea plantations are in full view.

Inside the village, the participants trekked throughthe local rainforests, carrying out a study on lowland
forest environments and noting the large biodiversityof both plants and animals. This rainforest area in thenational park was protected and conserved very well,to the extent that no artificial stairs had been carved
into the side of the mountain. Thus, the participants
had to help each other across slippery ground. Despite

this, everyone enjoyed the tour very much. Inside theforest, we also went on a small adventure by crossing
a canopy bridge built between trees, about 20 meters
above the ground. The construction of this canopy
bridge had been supported by Japan. Later, we also
enjoyed traditional Indonesian foods prepared by local
farmers, surrounded by exotic and peaceful tropicalhighland culture.

5-3. Visit to the Botanical Gardens(Dec. 1, 2018)

By Wen LIU, Program Assistant Professor, GSGESIn the morning of December 1, before the subsessions began, the participants paid a visit to Bogor’s
botanical gardens, which are located not far from theIPB International Conference Center (IICC). As thegardens adjoin the presidential palace, this has madethem quite famous. They cover an extensive area of
about 87 hectares and contain over 13,000 species oftrees and plants. Since it rains almost every day in
Bogor, even in the dry season, it makes the gardens
a perfect place for the cultivation of tropical plants.
Participants were surprised and enchanted by forests
consisting of a wide variety of gigantic trees . In
addition to the tropical environment, the participantsalso enjoyed learning about the long history of thegardens. There are many monuments scattered aroundthe gardens that tell stories about the gardens, some ofthem deeply related to the history of the country.
Just like the local people, by breathing in the freshmorning air, the visitors had a lovely stroll along thegarden tracks and a nice cup of morning tea; a great
start to an enjoyable day.
