Uhh so I came here with my family using an EV car, already not expecting much. Ive read alot of other reviews so I kind of expected that it was a mining spot. Dont come here expecting natural rock formations or anything touristy. Come here expecting a dusty mining site with a swimming pool in the middle of it. Pros: Its an accesible mining site so i guess you could take pictures Cons: Its accessible if you have your own mode of transport so dont use public transport. Also its only a mining site so dont expect much

This rock and soil mine has very low activity during Eid Mubarak holiday so we can get clear picture of the view. The road is accessible when you use sedan or SUV but rather danger if you want to go further close to the mountain especially when it rain. We go 4WD and go deep and in high ground to get stunning view. Its worthed the risk actually, amazing view, would even better for sunset time. The road is much like off road, with many of big rocks hasnt cleared along the road. The minus thing is not recreational area it only open for public. So not much activity can be done but taking picture or filming the sight seeing.

This place isn't managed as a recreational place so there are not many things to do here aside from taking photos. It's not far from the city but the road isn't good for vehicles so be careful. The mining activities continuously change the shape of the hills. The last time I was there, the hills didn't look good as in my previous visit.

Beautiful place, even better in the evening to see sunset. Tou can also see ungaran mountains from here. The site is also use for quarry, so you will see a lot of construction car pass by. But the road access is quite bad, I visit using motorbikes.

My friend and I describe this as a “tourist trap.” It is included as a tourist destination in an article we found, but little did we know that it’s in a middle of nowhere. The canyon is not even natural-made. It’s made from the constant quarry. For photo’s sake, you can visit the place but make sure you have your own mode of transportation because I don’t think you can find a Grab car or bike when you’re there.
