Tanjung Ringgit, a bay with war history behind it

View from the cliff

             In the south east part of Lombok,at Jerowaru district,we can find an enchanted bay view from the cliff on Tanjung Ringgit,the location is only 1 kilometer eastwards from Tangsi Beach (Pink Beach),beside the cliff,in the same location we can also find the cannon gun that has been abandoned by the Japanese army.The cannon had been using by the Japanese army to fight the allied forces during the world war II,there's also a cave that they used to hide inside it.
           Local people were used to construct the railroad,the cave,(which more likely a tunnel) and emplacement the cannon gun to the top of the ridge, nearby the lighthouse.The gun originally located to prevent the Allied submarines from getting to Lombok.

The Cannon Gun That abandoned by the Japanese army

        If we had a plan to go to the location, maybe there's several things that we might have to prepared before we go.since there's no restaurant or any store that sale any food or drink,we might have to prepared for food and drink before we go,instead the weather is hot in the area,and since there's no public transport that we use to get there, we should use personal transport like rent car or our own vehicle.

            Although some of the railroads in southest Lombok are particularly rough,and specially to Tanjung Ringgit is not easy,it's worthed and fascinating area to explore for those who like more adventure on their trip and vacation.
