12) Historic Building Lawang Sewu, Kota Semarang, Central Java - opened in 1907, the Javanese word "Lawang Sewu" is a nickname for the building which means "a thousand doors" ! Lawang Sewu was a former office building & the head office of the Dutch East Indies Railway Co & is owned by the national railway company Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI), entrance fee 30,000Rp (Rm9.20)
13) Exhibits of posters & pictures of railway stations in major cities in Indonesia, scenic countryside by KAI trains & the beauty of Ambrawa (a small town located in the highlands of Central Java) in Lawang Sewu Museum, Semarang, Central Java. As I enjoy taking trains in Indonesia, the train stations I had used for my train journeys thus far (including this Java trip) were Jakarta Gambier train station, Bandung, Bogor, Surabaya, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Malang & Probolinggo !
