Welcome to West Sumatra, the region of mysteries! West Sumatra is one of the most beautiful regions in all of Indonesia, full of hidden gems! Padang is the most-known city in this region, but there is far more to see than only this city. Southern to Padang, there are plenty of great attractions to visit. A very interesting place is the suspension bridge called Jambatan Akar Bayang. It’s a bridge in the middle of the jungle that is grown from trees. It’s a very eye-catching bridge, great for taking photos. It takes around 2.5 hours from Padang to reach; the only way to get there is by car. On the way, you may consider having a quick break at the village of Sungai Lundang. It’s a cute village in the middle of the jungle with a calm river passing. It would be probably worth exploring more. Between Sungaitalang and the Jambatan Akar Bayang bridge is the wonderful hidden gem waterfall called Air Terjun Bayang Sani. It is a branched waterfall with a height of approximately 80 meters. It is a great waterfall to consider going for a quick swim. Very beautiful is the beach at Sungaitalang called Batu Kalang. During the later afternoon, you may watch the arriving fishermen returning to the village. The beach is very beautiful, in fact very underrated! The very highlight is just nearby called Taluak Sikulo. It’s a small island at where the waves are broken into rings; a very fascinating spot to spend your sunset at. Taluak Sikulo is the perfect hidden gem that is mostly only known among locals. In fact: the entire region of West Sumatra is barely known but full of such hidden gems. Taluak Sikulo can be considered one of the best attractions at the sea side around Padang.

![Magical LAVAUX - The Swiss Wine Terraces [Travel Guide] Saint-Saphorin Town - Lake Geneva Vineyards](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QwkYlEHi2I0/mqdefault.jpg "Magical LAVAUX - The Swiss Wine Terraces [Travel Guide] Saint-Saphorin Town - Lake Geneva Vineyards
Wine Terraces? That already must sound fancy and remind you of Asian rice terraces! Well, if Asia is too far, then probably a trip to South Western Switzerland might be more convenient! The Lavaux are a landscape created by local men, which was recognized as UNESCO World Heritage! Over few tens of Kilometres you will pass by many vineyards and mediterranean-like villages. With Saint-Saphorin and Epesses, this region hosts two of Switzerlands prettiest villages!
While Sain-Saphorin is located right at the bottom of the Lavaux it is just at the coast of world-famous Lake Geneva! This unique location, as well as the nice old houses make Saint-Saphorin to one most beautiful villages of Switzerland. A bit higher up in the middle of the Lavaux is Epesses, from where you nicely can oversee Lake Geneva. Epesses is a bit calmer than Saint-Saphorin, as there is no major traffic road. From Epesses, you can take many trails through the vineyards of the Lavaux and have some fantastic hikes. There are also a couple of wine cellars that you can visit. All in all, this area is one of the moste unique landscapes of all Switzerland!
