The Thousand Gates is Semarang's most legendary attraction. Once a train station, it later became the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company, as the trains were built there. The building is so numerous, reportedly over 1,000 doors, that it's called the Thousand Gates. Walking around, you'll find it's truly remarkable. Each floor has rooms of varying sizes, each with its own number of doors—it's hard to count them all. This place was once used to hold some unjustly convicted criminals, making it a renowned haunted house. Of course, if you visit in the morning, there's no problem. The entrance fee, if I remember correctly, is 20,000 Indonesian rupiah. It's quite impressive. There's also a small garden in the center, where bands sometimes perform. The building is particularly beautiful at dusk, and a complete walk around it takes about an hour.

Try to get the all in one ticket so you dont have to pay for an individual ticket at every game and pitstop. With the all in one band you can ride the slide multiple times. When I was there they were still building the race or go kart place. Food is affordable. The souvenir shop good to see see to buy is your own choice coz the price for this kind of places is definitely more than normal shops.

Semarang is the only city in the world named after the eunuch Sam Po. It's said that during the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's fleet visited here, leaving behind a wealth of cultural heritage. Upon their departure, some of the crew members chose to settle down here. To this day, many of their descendants have built the Sam Po Kong Temple in Semarang to commemorate Sam Po Kong. Sem Po Kong hasn't always looked the same. After several renovations and transfers of ownership, it was even relocated to Dajue Temple for a period. The current Sam Po Kong is quite nice. The entrance fee is divided into two sections. If you don't enter, you only need to pay for the first section to see the various temples within. If you do, you can purchase an additional ticket. The combined price of both sections is actually quite reasonable, so if you're here, you've definitely seen it all. The entire square is quite spacious, with a statue of Sam Po Kong and many Chinese-style buildings. It looks quite familiar. There's even more information about the fleet's achievements further back. The specific Sam Po Cave refers to the inner temple inside, which requires buying a second set of tickets to enter. As the most important cultural relic in Sam Po Long, it is really worth coming.

The Great Mosque of Central Java is a bit far from downtown Semarang, but not terribly far. It's easily accessible by motorbike. The area around it is relatively suburban, with a market across the street. It's easy to find, walking all the way from the main entrance. It's quite large, with a large plaza in front. You can climb the minaret next to it, but it's only open when the gates are open, so it's recommended to arrive around the same time. I was truly impressed upon first sighting the Great Mosque. Honestly, while it's not as large as the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, its layout and grandeur far surpass it. Of all the mosques I've seen in Indonesia, I personally think it's the most beautiful. The large umbrellas outside can probably be opened in the rain, so it can accommodate quite a few people. Inside, you can see a giant open Quran. It's a truly worthwhile place to visit. The five-hour train ride was well worth it.
