The Oldest Chinese Temple In Semarang⁉️🇮🇩

📸The Great Temple Of Sam Poo Kong, Semarang The Sam Poo Kong Temple, also known as Gedung Batu (the Stone Building), is the oldest Chinese temple in Semarang, capital of the province of Central Java. Unlike most temples, the building does not belong to any specific religion, but rather functions as a place of worship for people of various ethnicities and religious groups including Buddhists, Taoists and muslims. The temple is located on Jalan Simongan, West Semarang. The temple is painted with a magnificent red color and crowned with a triple-layered pagoda-style roof, typical of East Asian culture. The surrounding area is thick with incense smoke, giving the feel of being in China itself. GET THERE : Ahmad Yani International Airport offers international routes to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Domestic flights are available from Jakarta, Surabaya, Denpasar, Bandung, Balikpapan and Banjarmasin. Sam Poo Kong Temple is located on Simongan Road, approximately 3 KM south west from Simpang Lima and about 20 minutes from the city center. The temple is open to the public 24 hours a day.

Ungaran Mountain has the height of approximately 2050 meters. Even though it is a kind of volcano, there is no sign of volcanic activity there. Thus, everyone is allowed to explore the mountain freely. Not to mention, it has become the home of tons of natural and historical attractions including the famous Gedong Songo Temple. For the information, the mountain comes with 3 fabulous peaks! The tallest one is indeed Ungaran Peak. The others are Botak and Gendol Peak, which are also suitable for trekking. As for the forest, the mountain has several majestic references especially Montane Forest (which is considered the most famous one). Many people also come to Ungaran Mountain to enjoy trekking and camping. As for the best camping ground, it is called Mawar Camp (which is also the trekking checkpoint). In the morning, the sunrise shines beautifully! While at night, sparkling lights of nearby buildings look so fabulous! It is definitely a complete site to enjoy an adventure and exploration, isn’t it? #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
