Half-day Semarang's History & Architecture Excursion

On this tour, you'll visit one unique architecture and two historical places in Semarang. 1. Sam Poo Kong The oldest Chinese temple in Semarang in the early 15th century, consisting of four temples that exhibit a unique blend of traditional Chinese and Javanese architecture. 2. Lawang Sewu The name translates as "A Thousand Doors", but it's only because of the massive, three-story structure lined with numerous doors and windows that resemble doors. This big, beautiful yet sad building that stands out in the area was built and used by the Dutch, then used as the Japanese Military Headquarters, and now is owned by the Indonesian Railway Office. 3. Old Town Earlier known as the Oudstad or Old Town in Dutch, it is located near the harbor where 18th-century buildings have been well preserved with many still in use to this day. There are more hidden stories behind those places you can find out while you're here.
