Suroboyo Monument

Reviewed By belalangcerewet - Lamongan, Indonesia

First time to Surabaya? Don't miss this attraction spot. Located exactly in front of Surabaya zoo, the Suroboyo Monument stands as a remembrance to the history of how Surabaya came to be. This marks the bravery (symbolized by crocodile) of the local kingdom back in the past when defending their area against intruders (symbolized by shark). Enjoy the the photo session too as there are many photographers around especially during the weekend.

Sam Po Kong Temple

Reviewed By beatrice390 - Indonesia, null

Visiting Semarang is not going to be completed if you haven’t visit this temple. Sam Po Kong temple is the oldest Chinese temple in Semarang. This temple is not solely for Buddhist or Tao, but rather functions as a place of worship for people of various ethnicities and religious groups. This temple is painted with a magnificent red color and crowned with a triple-layered pagoda-style roof, typical of East Asian culture. Really beautiful... It’s worth to make a visit at least once when you’re around.

Simpanglima Gumul Monument

Reviewed By fifi_ikayati - Jakarta, Indonesia

My family living in this area. The monumen just built for the past 10 years, bfore that.. it were farms area. The sophisticated of monument simpang lima is the main tourism to attract people to come. The architecture of this monument is almost similar with Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but the relief showing the history kingdom of Kediri. The place around the monument is actually very wide and many thematic gardens up there. I used to run every morning in this area, I shoud say that this place is perfect for jogging ( well it just 50 m from my house ^^) I usually stop in Taman Hijau to enjoy the birds and koi fish. also in another kids garden to play with swinging and listening the small waterfall. In the morning always the perfect time to enjoy this place because you could be the only visitor to enjoying the thematic gardens. But in the morning you cant find "Pentol", its my favorite dishes.. usually there are a lot "pentol" sellers in the day or evening time. They all tasted great ^^ The only thing to worry about this place is just behaviour of some local visitors tht littering anywhere, no matter there are a lot trash cans everywhere. The cleaning team is always working hard in the morning..but its not an excuse to keep littering right. I hope local people have more responsibility in the future. And finally if you visiting this place you can visit my house too, my mom is good cook ^^

Semarang Old Town

Reviewed By nomia930 - Denpasar, Indonesia

There is often one exotic historic area in every city waiting to be explored. In Semarang, Central Java, the area is named Kota Lama (Old Town) or Outstadt. Situated in the intersection of Jl. Pemuda and Jl. Imam Bonjol, Kota Lama is also known as Little Netherlands. Established in the 18th century when Indonesia was a Dutch colony, its location is currently separated from a residential area.
