Breathtaking Temple!
One of the Biggest Temples / Vihara that I ever seen! Lots of historical buildings / Temples inside and has a huge Parking Lot! But be aware of local Pungli and they will take you more money for parking. Just tell them you already paid! The Entrance Fees was 20k/person for just the Temple's Yard. Still a breathtaking Temple!

Great to see again after 30 over years
It's a historical building in Semarang where the great Admiral Cheng Ho of China landed. I used to go here with my cousins during school holiday when I was a kid, that was some 35-40 years ago. It's all different now. It used to be free to enter but now you must pay to enter the site for viewing from the carpark area and pay another fee to enter the building itself. In one of the temple building there is the anchor from one of Cheng Ho's fleet I think, and one thing that make me amazed is the tree's hanging roots that shaped as chains. There's a tall statue of him in front of the temple. The temple looks great and seems to be well maintained so it's great to know that. Probably that's the purpose of the fee.
