Aceh is also famous for its forests, which stretch along the Bukit Barisan range from Kutacane in Southeast Aceh to Ulu Masen in Aceh Jaya. A national park, the Gunung Leuser National Park (TNGL), was established in Southeast Aceh.

Gold mining in Aceh is nothing new. Although numerous illegal Gold mines now operate, with larger economic interests outside the Veranda of Mecca, in the past these mines were operated directly by the sultanate.

According to some records, gold mining in Aceh was carried out within the territories of the Peureulak, Samudera Pasai, and Aceh Darussalam kingdoms.

Gold mining was a commodity used by several kingdoms in Aceh. Gold was mined along the rivers at that time.

Aceh acquired gold mining expertise after learning from the flux of trade from East to West. From the West came the Persians, Greeks (Gersik/Greek), and Surya (Arab).
