Bandung, nicknamed 'Kota Kembang' isn't very famous outside of Indoensia. Despite people saying there are not many things to do in Bandung, it is a place where sightseeing and shopping are combined together.
Visibly from anywhere in Bandung, Tangkuban Perahu one of the few largest volcano craters there. It's cold and can easily hike up there.
Kawah Putih is another crater located at different location. The sulfur lake is surrounded by grey rocks and it is advisable to not touch the water because of its high sulfur content.
If you are a tea person then Situ Patenggang is the place for you. It is surrounded by tea plantations and you can opt to go boating *grins*
