Workation in Semarang: the essentials
Most travellers pass Semarang on the way between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, which leaves the port capital of Central Java, a city of about 1.7 million, largely to itself. Kota Lama, the restored Dutch quarter around the domed Blenduk Church, has cafés in old warehouses, and the Sam Poo Kong temple recalls the Chinese admiral Zheng He. Chinese-Javanese cooking shows up in the city's famous lumpia spring rolls. Jenderal Ahmad Yani Airport is about 5 km from the centre. The lowland north is hot, humid and affected by tidal flooding as the ground subsides, and many people prefer the cooler hills of the Candi district to the south.
