Actually I was born in Padang 17 years ago but my mother come from Bukittinggi. Automatically my hometown is Bukittinggi, exactly in Sungai pua. Sungai pua is around 7 km from the Bukittinggi city. It takes 15 minutes to go there from Bukittinggi. From Padang it takes 2 hours by using a bus. It is around 90 km.
The weather is very nice which is cold and fresh in the morning. In the noon the weather is not as hot as Padang in the noon. The weather is hot enough but it will not burn your skin just like in Padang. If the weather will be very cold on the night, you will need to wear a jacket if you want to go outside in the night.
There are so many beautiful views you can see in Sungai Pua. First is Mount Singgalang. You can see Mount Singgalang clearly from my house. The best time to see the mount Singgalang is on the morning, because the mount still half covered by the fog. That is the most beautiful view I have ever seen. Next is the rice field behind my house. The rice field is very clean. I often take a picture in there. And there is a large and clean river beside the river. You will not find the view like this in Padang.
So, if you want to have to unforgettable moment with the most beautiful view in west Sumatra, sungai pua is the best place.
