3. History of Medan
Visiting
North Sumatra must also be equipped with historical knowledge of the city of
Medan. Historically, Medan officially had the status of a city in 1886.
Furthermore,
in 1909, Medan became an important city outside Java, especially after the
colonial government opened a large-scale plantation company.
In
the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many people migrated to Medan, consisting
of Chinese and Javanese. They were recruited as contract laborers on
plantations.
From
this history, it is not surprising that we find many Chinese and Javanese
living in Medan until now.
Medan
has also expanded its area several times since 1950. The impact is that since
its inception, Medan, which initially had an area of 1,853 hectares, has expanded to 26,510 hectares in
1974.
In
other words, Medan has expanded up to 18 times in 25 years. Thus, within 25
years after the transfer of sovereignty, the city of Medan has expanded almost
eighteen times.
4. Transportation
to Medan
Because
it has long been designed as a city area, Medan and the North Sumatra region
are very easy to reach.
Everyone
from various regions can choose to use what kind of transportation and at what
rate.
The
first way you can use to reach North Sumatra is by plane. As is known, Medan is
a strategic place because it is often used as a transit location for people who
want to go to Sabang and Banda Aceh.

also has an International Airport called Kualanamu, Deli Serdang which is
integrated with a Train station like the Airport in Singapore, Changi Airport.
The
second way to go to Medan is by ship with the main destination of Belawan Port
which is located near the Deli River, not far from the city of Medan.
The

there are also typical Medan vehicles, namely Becak and Becak Motor. Among the
various modes of transportation available
We
recommend that you take a cheap, but still practical and quality route, namely
using the Lake Toba Tour service or taking a Lake Toba tour package.

in this way, you not only benefit from the availability of transportation
facilities comfortable, but also get a tour guide and convenience along the
