To the west, across the river, lies Semarang’s shopping and hotel district, but first make a detour south along Jl. Pekojan into the heart of the city’s colorful Chinatown district.

Chinese merchants have contributed greatly to Semarang’s success as a commercial hub. Best-known among them is Oei Tiong Ham, the “sugar king” who made a fortune from agricultural exports and control of the state opium monopoly at the turn of the century-becoming chief (majoor) of Semarang’s Chinese community and owner of a vast business empire with interests in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, New York and London.

Today Semarang maintains a strong Chinese flavor, with the highest percentage of ethnic Chinese of any city in Indonesia.

Beringharjo Market Yogyakarta Tourism

azlio — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:23:33 +0000

Yogyakarta central market place was established north of the keraton during the reign of Hamengkubuwono I. A large building, the size of a city block. was constructed in 1925, and Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX then dubbed the market beringharjo in commemoration of the “beautiful bering tree” forest which stood here when the city was founded. Reconstructed in 1991. it has re-opened as the three-story Beringharjo Market Center.

Entering the crowded, dimly-lit market from the street you move into quite a different world. Tropical fruits are piled high under paper umbrellas outside the entrance. Stacks of clothing, batik (new and used), colorful lurik and other fabrics are displayed along the narrow aisles. Keris repairers and tailors ply their trades in stalls half enclosed by darkness, and all amazing array of food stuffs is found – pungent meats and fish, fresh carrots and potatoes, leafy spinach and mountains of bright-red chili peppers. Other stalls contain heaps of bamboo baskets and stack of second-hand miscellany such as motor parts, records, lamps and hardwares.

The market is teeming with surprises; the joy here is in exploring the dim corners pierced by occasional beans of sunlight from the rafters. Beware of, pickpockets and “guides” who attach themselves to you in the hopes of finagling a commission on everything you purchase. Although a few batik stalls have posted fixed prices, bargaining is the order of the day.

Gedong Songo Temples - North of Yogyakarta

azlio — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 19:47:07 +0000

Gedong Songo was originally a volcanic haze and sulfur vapor. Then worship and soul-searching. Built between the centuries VII and VIII century, older than Borobudur and Prambanan temples. Gedong Songo story seem more still shrouded in the mist of time. The global energy crisis is now up there and bothering people. The complex of seven temples of the remaining nine temples were lined up around the waist to the top of Mount Ungaran in Semarang Regency, Central Java, altitude 1,800 meters above sea level

Once you get in there, let alone be tempted to ride a horse, suddenly will feel we are on the border: the mortal world as well as the mountain mist and other mountains far away. Mount Ungaran indeed exotic locations. Ancient Hindus choose the location where the worship of Hyang Widhi Wasa, although touted built around the VIII century, there has been no definite evidence of exactly when the complex was built and the enshrinement is that correct part of the masterpiece “Wangsa Syailendra” that created the temple complex at Borobudur, Dieng, and Prambanan.

Position Gedong Songo built from the ground lined hilltops archaeologist also raises questions: Are the buildings of the temple is built on a hierarchy of holiness, that the temple is on the more sacred than that below it, or a row of temples is an instruction sequence of a religious procession?
The question is not answered until now as well.
