Malang

The Malang region extends across 3,530 square kilometers of land between Mount Kawi and the Tengger Mountains, incorporating urban centers and agricultural zones.

In 1947, this territory marked its significance during Indonesia's independence movement when the national government established temporary headquarters within its boundaries.

The region maintains strong Javanese traditions, with the population consisting of Javanese residents and a substantial Madurese community practicing their customs.

The territory connects efficiently to Surabaya through established road networks and railway lines, facilitating transportation for its 2.7 million inhabitants.

The area contains archaeological remains of three royal dynasties: Dinaya, Tumapel, and Singhasari, with temple structures scattered throughout the landscape.
