Panyaweuyan Terrace
This particular destination went viral in social media recently because of its lovely terraced hillside. Located in Majalengka’s Mount Ciremai, West Java’s highest mountain range at 3,078 meters, the terrace has served as a shallot plantation area for decades before the local Government decided to gain extra benefit from turning it into a tourism village. You’ll notice its lovely, unusual green hue when the planted shallots grew its leaves to show that they are ready to harvest.
According to the records of the Food Security, Crop Farming, and Fishery Office of the Regency of Majalengka, the Panyaweuyan Terrace area, especially the District of Argapura, is the fifth-biggest vegetable commodity producer in Majalengka in 2020, with a production rate of 26,312.90 tons for the year.
