Introduction to Malang

Malang is the second largest city in East Java. It has a history dating back to the Singhasari. During the period of Dutch colonization, it was a popular destination for European residents due to its cool climate due to its location, surrounded by mountains. From the highest one, Semeru mountain to the short one like Panderman Mountain. From the Malang city, you can view range of mountains on the horizon. People in East Java sometimes call it “Paris of East Java.”

Together with its neighbouring city called Batu, the city has become the main destination for holiday in East Java. From the range of mountains surrounding this city, world-class theme parks that built here, pristine beaches on the south, and yummy cullinary, bring families and friends to spend their weekends in this heart-warming city.
