Still remember one of the great legacy of Cheng Ho in Semarang? Sam Poo Kong! A muslim Chinese admiral, Cheng Ho had left some mementos to us to remember his merit.
Now, in this post, we'd like to tell you about his another legacy. Let's go to Surabaya, capital of East Java. Here, we have Cheng Ho mosque. This mosque is so beautiful. You can use some words to describe it; amazing, colourful, and it's quite oriental. You'll find many Chinese-style decoration here. You can see the greatness of Cheng Ho painting beside the mosque. The point is, you should visit this site if you're in Surabaya. The location is accessible, it's in the middle of a residence in Genteng or to the north of the city hall.
Nowadays, since the mosque is small, they expands the area that it has larger capacity for Friday prayer which involve a big number of people. It turns out Palembang has a similar mosque to Surabaya. By the way, if you pray here, you'd find numbers of muslim Chinese.
