LAWANG SEWU - SEMARANG

A visit to Semarang is incomplete if you don't have time to stop by Lawang Sewu. This Dutch-style building has long been an icon of the capital city of Central Java. Lawang Sewu not only presents classic beauty but also historical tourism. The building, which is famous for its large number of windows and doors, looks bright at night. Lawang Sewu can indeed be visited during the day or night. Operational hours at Lawang Sewu are from 07.00 – 21.00. Witnessing the splendor of this classic architecture at night has its own sensation. Even though it was night, the visitors who came were not small. The sidewalks are still filled with visitors who sit back or just take pictures. Entering the building, the light shines through the dark night. These lights add to the beauty of Lawang Sewu. Just like during the day, at night the interior parts of the room can be explored. The center field remains a favorite photo spot. Squeezed between the three main buildings with the lights on is certainly a beautiful backdrop. Classical ornaments beautify this hundreds-year-old building. Exploring the old building at night, of course, has its own impression. The long halls seemed quieter at night. Even so, the impression of mystical or scary is no longer felt. Walls, doors, windows and other building accessories now look well maintained and clean. The old and unkempt impression can no longer be seen in this building, which was completed in 1907. The beauty of the city of Semarang at night can also be enjoyed from the balcony of the second floor of Lawang Sewu. After the restoration, Lawang Sewu did try to get rid of its mystical impression. The view at night is also the reason Eri Yusuf visited Lawang Sewu. #historicculture #culturalattractions #bestislandtraveltowns #museumquest#nationalpark
