Putroe Phang Park

Putroe Phang Park is the park of the Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam which was founded by Sultan Iskandar Muda (1607-1636) for his empress Putroe Phang who came from the Kingdom of Pahang. The original name of this park is Taman Ghairah as mentioned in the Bustanus Salatin book. This park was built because the sultan really loved Princess Pahang and so that the empress would not be lonely when the sultan lived the government. The construction of the park is said to have been a request from Putroe Phang, the king's daughter, who was brought to Aceh by Sultan Iskandar Muda after the conquest of the Pahang kingdom.nnInside this park, there is the Pinto Khop, a small dome-shaped gate that is the door that connects the garden to the palace. Pinto Khop is a place to rest for Princess Phang, after being tired of swimming, it is located not far from Gunongan, where the ladies wash her hair. There is also a pond for the empress to wash her hair and take a flower bath.nnTaman Putroe Phang adalah taman Kerajaan Aceh Darussalam yang didirikan oleh Sultan Iskandar Muda (1607-1636) untuk permaisurinya Putroe Phang yang berasal dari Kerajaan Pahang. Nama asli taman ini adalah Taman Ghairah sebagaimana disebutkan di dalam kitab Bustanus Salatin. Taman ini dibangun karena sultan sangat mencintai Putri Pahang dan agar sang permaisuri tidak kesepian bila di tinggal sultan menjalankan pemerintahan. Pembangunan taman dikisahkan merupakan permintaan dari Putroe Phang, putri raja yang dibawa ke Aceh oleh Sultan Iskandar Muda setelah kerajaan Pahang ditaklukan.nnDi dalam taman ini terdapat Pinto Khop yaitu gerbang kecil berbentuk kubah yang merupakan pintu yang menghubungkan taman dengan istana. Pinto Khop ini merupakan tempat beristirahat Putri Phang, setelah lelah berenang, letaknya tidak jauh dari Gunongan, di sanalah dayang-dayang membasuh rambut sang permaisuri. Di sana juga terdapat kolam untuk sang permaisuri keramas dan mandi bunga.nnSource: Wikipedia

Nothing much to see, just a mausoleum and small hill. The wonder of it is the playhill was using egg white as the glue.
