Hello Indonesia,, Hello everyone
! How's life today ?
Now, I will talk about tourism
place (again) :D. Have you heard about a place named “Klenteng Sam Poo Kong” ?
Ya , It is one of tourism places in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. It is
located on Simongan Street, Semarang. If you go to Semarang, don’t be hesitate
to visit this place. This place is crowded enough in Saturday and
Sunday..Hmm..It’s no problem.
Sam Poo Kong is not only tourism
place, but also a vihara for Chinese people here (Indonesian people usually
call them Tionghoa , and the place is named “Klenteng”). You can go to this
place by public transportation such as minibus (“angkot”) and taxi. The entry ticket is also very cheap for you.
There are some buildings there.
You can take many photos in front of those buildings. All buildings have some
characteristics such as ,mostly red and
yellow colour, dragon statue and relief, lampion, and the other ornaments, like
Chinese model building. You know, there
is a big statue in front of those buildings. It is a statue of Laksamana Zheng
Hee. Laksamana Zheng He (Laksamana Cheng
Ho) is an admiral from China. Sam Poo Kong ,located in Gedung Batu is a first landing place of Laksamana Zheng
He. He made a voyage from China to
Indonesia through ocean. Laksamana Zheng
He gave many change and influence here. A literature explain that
Laksamana Cheng Ho is a moslem. It’s
evidenced by a moslem symbol there but people call Laksamana Cheng Ho as a God (Dewa). Therefore , people
use that place for praying. Don’t forget
to take your picture in front of
Laksamana Zheng He,, okay ?

You also can take photos by using
Chinese costume. There is a booth that rents some costume. You can choose some
packages (the costume and photos).
There is a photographer from booth who will take your photos in front
of that building. Then you can get your
pictures with Chinese costume.
Can't wait for visiting Sam Poo Kong...? It is very recommended for you to spend your holiday :D
Happy holiday !!!
