There is a historic railway bridge built around 1939 by Dutch government, crossing underneath the road and the Cikapundung river. The river that divides the city of Bandung, the resident call this railway bridge Viaduct.Not far from the Viaduct is a fairly tall building with a modern architectural style.

After walking about 15 minute, meet Wastukencana street, the road in Wastukencana has many shady trees. And the pedestrian area is wide enough to provide comfort, while walking on the side walk. There is a historic building on Wastukencana street.

The bethel church, this old building from the Dutch Colonial are was built around 1916, it's condition is still sturdy and other old buildings on Wastukencana street. Not far from the bethel church, a grand mosque building is quite magnificent.

This mosque is called Al- Ukhuwah built around 1970, one of the facilities of worship for Bandung city government employees which is located across the street. At the intersection of wastu Kencana street and Aceh street in the middle there is a meong monument to commemorate the many heritage buildings in the Bandung city.

The road ends in the front garden of the Bandung city hall office, seeing the beautiful garden atmosphere and many types of shrubs and hard woods gives a sense of comfort and peace with a good garden Arrangement.
