461 years Semarang

By: ahmed on May 5th, 2008.

Friday May 2, 2008 was the 461st Anniversary of Semarang City. The name of the city, Semarang, may have been originated from the acronym of the javanese words “asem” (tamarind) and “arang” (rare). The city is a melting pot of Javanese, Chinese, Indian and Arabian cultures.

Tugu Muda and Lawang Sewu are the most famous Semarang’s landmarks. They are located on westward of Simpang Lima, the downtown. During the celebration of the city’s anniversary, many events are usually held here, such as exhibition, traditional Batik fashion show, cultural performance, and many more.
