Pematangsiantar, My Lovely Hometown



Pematangsiantar is a city in North Sumatera. It has the status of a second level district and a population of around 232,900 (1997 estimate) making it the second largest city in the province after the provincial capital Medan.

Pematangsiantar is about 50 miles (80 km) southeast of Medan with which is connected by a major road and railway. On the way, you will pass through many rubber, cocoa, palm, tobacco and tea plantations. This is the richest part of North Sumatera, because these plantations produce the main export commodities.

Then onward to Lake Toba you will see a vast stretch of land covered with thick forests, plantations, terraced ricefields, lush vegetation, blue and green hills and mountains.

Pematangsiantar has two main roads called Merdeka Road and Sutomo Road.
