The vast, lush canopy of mangrove trees covers the mangrove forest tourist destination in Kuala Langsa village, West Langsa district, Langsa city, Aceh, Thursday (14/9). The 6,000-hectare mangrove forest is home to 28 mangrove species and is being developed as an education and conservation tourist area.

From the top of a 20-meter tower, the vast mangrove forest below is a soothing view. The orange hues of the afternoon sun on Sept. 14 complement the cool environs of the mangrove tourist spot in Kuala Langsa village West Langsa district, Langsa city, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam.

It was getting late, yet the dozens of visitors seemed reluctant to leave the lush mangrove trees. They were still enjoying the cool air and natural, green view. Some chose to sit on a small wooden pier, taking one selfie after another.
