Go to the Beach of Light in Kendal!

One of the beaches in Kendal interest to visit is the beach of light. Dolphins to become one of the media treatment of its appeal. Come there while in long vacation.

The Beach of Light in Kendal, Indonesia

One of the tour leader was asked about tourism, he said that tourism is seeing the difference. That is, people come to one place because there is a difference with other places. If the same surely will not come. One that offers a distinct flavor that is light beach.

Light beach is one of the coastal tourist spots located in Rowosari, Kendal. The beach is quite close to Spring Beach Sikucing. These attractions are managed by PT Wersut Seguni Indonesia (WSI), which became the first mammal conservation organizations in Indonesia since 1999. One of which is relied upon in the tourist area is the dolphin.

This place is pretty complete as a tourist. Quite beautiful natural, complete facilities and the availability of a variety of tourist attractions. For those who like to want to chatting with the family in the pool, Water Kingdom could be an option. There is also a mini zoo with a fairly complete collection of animals. Admission to this tourist area is Rp 15,000 / person.

Dolphins became the main attraction of people flock to the beach Light. In addition to be used as a water attraction, dolphins is also used as a therapeutic medium. End will interact directly with dolphins in the therapy process. To enjoy therapy sessions, we have to spend money amounting to Rp 25,000. To enjoy this therapy session sometimes visitors have to stay overnight

Children certainly please show dolphin. Importantly, these dolphins are bred in captivity not catch in the wild. These trained dolphins clever perform various attractions such as counting, playing basketball and jumping from the water course.

Suggestions for managers, see the high tourism potential and complete this, the government and the managers must pay attention to its infrastructure. Especially the way to the location. When I visited, the condition of the road leading there is quite small although it may be passed by two cars.

70% of its road conditions are not in good condition. Through it like going into the corner where the cemetery in the village. Many are hollow, narrow and minimal directions. Road should be repaired and reorganized in order to request a visit to the tourist attractions of this increase.

Planting trees on the seaside presumably need digalakan again. In addition to help resist abrasion also makes the atmosphere more cool. Because pretty much the shower on the beach, is just as well given the signs of safety.

I wish the tourist spots such as Coast of Light with its uniqueness can be maintained and kept clean so that it can be a comfortable place for visitors.

Sam Poo Kong or Sam Po Kong is the title of Admiral Cheng Ho alias Zeng He, the meaning is Kasim Three Jewels. I wonder what the meaning of the name given the Chinese emperor. But clearly, Sam Poo Kong Temple in Semarang built in honor of the admiral tionghoa-Muslims.

Simorang located at Jl Raya, Semarang, this temple can be a fun destination to spend the evening in Semarang. Like when we visit there on Saturday (05/23/2015) yesterday, Semarang residents and tourists eager to enjoy the atmosphere. Eve Semarang is hot during the day was already fading.

To enter into the temple, to pay Rp 3,000 local tourists and foreign tourists to pay Rp 10,000. Next live to enjoy the atmosphere inside. The first impression for me is magnificent and relieved.

Understandably, a dozen temples I've been to, the new Sam Poo Kong who had midfield alias inner courtyard. More like a kind of square in the middle of the temple. The car park was quite relieved at the front of the temple.

The main temple buildings on the four sides of the field. On the south side there is a statue of Ho Chen tall towering above the pedestal. On the wall there is a marble pedestal contains the history of Zheng He undertook an expedition world, including Indonesia.

Interestingly, writing an English version and Indonesian different contents. Translating not know each other. Read let alone both increasingly understood.

Then there are three buildings for worship, the south side is the greatest. The prayer room is closed to tourists, and only intended for those who want to pray. But we still can shoot from the outside or making the background of our pictures.

8 Statue Boddhisatva and fish pond that extends in front of the worship space, a proof of the strong elements of feng shui in this temple. But, if you can not see the altar do not worry. Still there is one other building on the east side as the stage, which is quite magnificent to tourists explore.

"The building is used if there is a big event, but if there's no event so could use the photographs," said Ival, a visitor who has been several times to this temple.

While on the western side there are lush tree lined with rows of park benches proceeds from the donations of the people of Confucianism. There is also a costume rental facilities for tourists who want style style Chinese royalty and daughter.

I actually praised the spirit of religious tolerance at Sam Poo Kong. Although this temple, they provide for tourists musala Muslim prayers near the entrance of the temple.

Musala existence is indeed necessary, given the Cheng Ho is one of the Muslim leaders in the history of the world. Surely, there will be a lot of Muslim travelers who visit this place.
