Zheng He's seven voyages to the West are almost a household name, three of which were visits to Indonesia. Zheng He's fleet docked twice in Semarang, which was a wild land back then. The Zheng He Temple was built to commemorate the arrival of Zheng He. The architectural style of the temple is mostly in the classical Indo-Chinese style, with soaring pagoda-like roofs, huge round drums, and many Chinese lanterns and dragons.
Reviews from Real Guests:
Hermansyah 1107: Sam Poo Kong Temple in Semarang City is not just a place of worship. This temple is also an iconic tourist spot that is full of history. On the way, Sam Poo Kong Temple is a symbol of acculturation of Chinese culture with Javanese customs. The temple building stands majestically dominated by red colors and typical Chinese architecture.
Meliaf: A very interesting and cultural place. If you’d like to visit, I suggest you bring sunglasses or umbrella, because it can be very hot. There are several good spots for photo if you’re a traveller. The entrance ticket is also very affordable. If you like architectural photography, this place is a must visit!

This is the once prosperous old town of Sanbaoyuan. The scale is small but the buildings are very characteristic.
