Candi Gedong Songo




note:picture taken from id.wikipedia.org about Candi Gedong Songo

It’s been a long time since I left my semarang in 1987, now I came back to this place, in overall still the same like I left, except now they has a ticket-booth before you enter to this area.





It is a stone-temple complex in a wide region, the unique thing in this place is about 9 temple scatter around the place, not concentrate in a single area like the others. You have to walk from one temple to another, and the last temple is on top of the hill, and you may see it from the first temple down below.








You will have amazing view from here, very beautiful scenery, dominated with pinus forest and you may see the legendary “rawa pening” from here.

Another interesting part is In the middle of the journey to 9th temple, you’ll find an active-crates and hot spring water, but unfortunately they made that place become a public hot water public bathroom that makes that place a bit messy (from my point of view).





In overall, this is a nice place to visit, and you may have to try “sate kelinci” there and also “Jagung bakar” in lot of local food-stalls there.
