Here he's flagship tourist attraction of South Coastal District which is one of the most unique bridges in the world. a strong bridge and the bridge between the two regions Jorong (Hamlet) and Puluik-Lubuak Puluik silau, Lubuak silau Village, District of North Bayang, South Coastal District, West Sumatra.

The distance from the location of Padang about 82 Kilometers or two-hour trip with two-wheeled vehicles and private cars, the road can also contact the Muko-Muko, Bengkulu Province. When he arrived at the location you have to come down as far as 50 meters from the highway.

The thunder of a clear stream will increase the natural beauty of the area let alone stem the root bridge (creek) shadow that separates the two villages were very clear water. It was said that if the bath under the root bridge will soon be sustenance and soul mate, whether it's been proven? Can not be answered.

Because the area is considered sacred, nothing wrong with fasting ahead of many who came to this area for Balimau (purify themselves before fasting) to charitable activities during the fasting month can receive the power.

From the information summarized one of the successful community leaders and youth chairman Pulik-puluik, Herman Bandaro Datuak Rajo, the bridge was made because of a scholar named Pakih Sokan sorry to see students Pulik-mengajinya from puluik often do not come because the flow is often swollen stem shadows .

"It used to be a bridge made of bamboo, but are often damaged by stem derunya shadows, emerged the idea of teachers Pakih Pohan to make a bridge from the root,

In the year 1916 Pohan Pakih planted two sticks ox-ox (a type of banyan tree broad-leaf), tree-ox ox is planted in two locations one in Pulik-puluik area and one in the glare Lubuak stem separated by shadows. Then the roots are dangling in woven bamboo rod made of bone bridge as the root bridge. After 3 years the roots of two trees-ox ox is linked but not impassable.

Then Pakih Pohan mandabiah held goat (goat) and mandarai aka (giving blood at the root of that link). "This is a sign of thankfulness that ox-ox roots connected already linked, as a sign of convergence will happen again,

To make a bridge impassable takes over 20 years so the bridge can be taken Puluik-puluik citizens who want to want to Lubuak glare.

Until now the bridge measuring 30 meters long and 1 meter wide with a height from the surface of the shadow rod about 10 feet and at the age of the bridge is already 93 years and still can be passed from the local residents Pulik-puluik as many as 25 heads of families as well as citizens who want to kedaerah Pulik-puluik.

Below the bridge is the root of the prohibition of fish that should not be provoked and taken, the fish ban was in the depths of the position under the root bridge.

If we waste food fish swarmed out of food stocked. Tourist sites are also used as a bath-shower because the water was fresh and had rocks and often used as a location for white water rafting lovers of nature.

In order for this unique bridge over manicured contracted Regency South Coast area in Rajo Bandaro Datuak Herman, one-year contract Regency South Coast as a tourist location.

"Regency South Coast region is contracted for 5 years with a value of Rp15 million, and all the cleaning and maintenance handed over entirely to local residents, ticket worth Rp1.500, to Rp 1,000 paid to the regency, including cleaning fee, while the Rp500 to donate to Madrasah Diniyah Awaliyah (MDA) in the neighborhood, "he explained.

In addition to more durable and stronger local people to establish roots hanging down, but it was grown roots, if roots are still white could not be established later died, so wait if the color is yellow and the size of the root of a new adult thumb woven. Once established and new roots were covered with the same woven banana trunks as a coolant, because the food ox-ox roots from the stems of banana.
