This Photowalk is planned to start from Wihara Dhanagun along Suryakencana Street to Vihara Cin Te. at Jalan Siliwangi about 7.4 kilometers and can be reached in one and half hours.
Jalan Suryakencana is well known as a Chinatown, where Bogor trading activities centralize here like buying and selling, tobacco, cigarettes, salty fish, palm oil, daily groceries. Because of all these activities years ago this street was named Jalan Perniagaan or Trading Street.
Nowadays Jalan Suryakencana still has plenty of wholesalers, but is well known for its culinary street. We can do photowalks taking pictures of old buildings, and culinary spots, while we see the festival.
I got an invitation by The Cap Go Meh Bogor Street Festival 2023 Organizing Committee to all Bogor Communities and Bogor Local Guides as one of them.
On the day of the meet-up, @bobbyprabawa came earlier to the meeting point, then me and my wife came at noon and communicated with others via whatsapp group. Still fine.
Take a picture of Bobby, me and my wife.
Start taking some videos and photos inside Vihara Dhanagun, and take free lunch provided by Vihara Dhanagun Fried Rices and special menu for this event Lontong Cap Go Meh.
At 2:30 pm I take the Pass card so I can take video and photos from the special area during The Bogor Street Festival CGM 2023 event.
At 3 pm the area became full of Bogor citizens who enthusiastically wanted to participate in this biggest event after Pandemic Covid - 19.
Bogor seized this street festival for two years.
@DeeDesty takes half an hour to move from Lawang Suryakencana to meet me in the Press Area. I can pass her her name tag so she can freely walk around The Festival.
I share all the activities of the Photowalk.
