Sam Poo Kong, Chinese temple complex in Semarang, Indonesia
The temple compound spans 3.2 hectares with five distinct structures featuring red-colored walls, curved roofs, and traditional Chinese decorative elements.
Admiral Zheng He established the original temple between 1400 and 1416 after discovering a cave in the rocky hillside during his maritime expedition.
The temple serves both Chinese Indonesian and local communities, with dedicated spaces for Buddhist ceremonies and traditional fortune-telling practices.
Visitors can access the temple daily from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with entrance fees ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 Indonesian Rupiah.
A sacred well beneath the main altar contains water that local residents believe holds medicinal properties for various health conditions.
