Enjoying the View from the Cliff Keraton of the Bandung Palace
Cliff Palace is a tourist spot in Bandung that is unique. As the name suggests, Tebing Keraton is a cliff in North Bandung. Cliff Keraton began to be known by many tourists thanks to social media which immediately became popular.
At first, this cliff was named the Jontor Cliff because it has a shape that leans or protrudes forward. In early 2014, it was changed to Tebing Karaton, which was spelled Tebing Keraton. The cliff in Sundanese is called Gawir which means a high place on the edge of a cliff. While the palace has the meaning of splendor and luxury.

No less interesting with Bandung tours such as Bukit Bintang (Moko Hill) in Dago which presents the beautiful view of the city of Bandung with shining lights. Cliff Palace also has a charming view, especially at sunset or sunrise.
Many say that the Keraton Cliff is the best place to see the sunrise in Bandung. Seeing the beautiful and enchanting sunrise is the main goal of the visitors.
Sunrise is the best time to capture the beautiful scenery. The view of the sunrise combined with the green of the trees covered in white fog makes a beautiful photo background.
