Sam Poo Kong Temple

HELLO

Last Sunday morning I went with my family for morning jogging, we passed Sam Poo Kong Temple on our way. Sam Poo Kong temple (or known as Gedong Batu) is a Chinesse temple located in the Simongan, Semarang, Indonesia. It is a transit place of Admiral Cheng Ho/Zheng He, a Chinesse explorer who are Muslims. Maybe some of you already know about the movie of Cheng Ho.

You can find more information about this temple in here, here or just googling it.

Although I lived in Semarang for about 17 years but I never visited it, until yesterday. Yeah what a shame.

This temple is kind of beautiful places. So, here is some snapshots :
