Surabaya Introduction: - Basic Information: Surabaya is the capital of East Java Province, Indonesia, and the second largest city and second largest port in Indonesia, second only to Jakarta.

It is located in the northeast corner of Java Island, on the southwest side of the Surabaya Strait along the northeast coast, facing Madura Island across the strait. It has been an external trade port in Java since the Middle Ages. - City Features: Surabaya is known as the "City of Heroes". The word "Surabaya" is composed of "sura" (meaning bravery) and "baya" (meaning danger). On November 10, 1945, the poorly equipped people of Surabaya fought fiercely against the well-equipped Allied forces, so November 10 was designated as "Heroes' Day". It is also a commercial city mainly engaged in trade. Tanjung Perak Port is the most important distribution center for products and goods in the eastern part of Indonesia, connected to industrial zones and storage areas. In addition, Surabaya has a complete financial infrastructure and is one of the important financial hubs in the Indonesian archipelago.
