Continuing from Latest visit to the boat above house in Banda Aceh.
At noon we went to a housing area just outside of Banda Aceh to the east.
Locals said it was built by world-famous Hong Kong Chinese action movie star, Jackie Chan...
For the record the city of Banda Aceh was devastated when the big waves of the Tsunami of 26th December 2019 hit the shores of Aceh on to some distance inland.
More than 200,000 Acehnese were said to be killed, many houses and buildings practically flattened and destroyed.
After that more than 50 nations were involved in rebuilding Aceh. Some developed new housing areas by parcels.
These parts are said to be rebuilt by personal contribution from Jackie Chan.
This plaque however says it was an effort from 2 China-based associations.
