INTRODUCTION
The heart of Central Java, Semarang, with its multicultural history, is one of the largest metropolitan cities in Indonesia. This city is also known as Kota Lumpia or Lumpia City. Lumpia is one of the most delicious snacks you could ever find in Indonesia. It’s a snack born by acculturation of two cultures, Javanese and Chinese, and a typical food from Semarang.
INTRODUCTION
The Karimunjawa National Park
Karimunjawa Islands is an enchanting archipelago located in the Java Sea, about 80 kilometers northwest of Jepara, Central Java, Indonesia. Consisting of 27 islands, only a handful are inhabited, while the rest remain pristine and untouched, offering a paradise-like escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
Known for their crystal-clear turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant coral reefs, the islands are a haven for snorkeling, diving, and island hopping. The surrounding marine park is home to a rich diversity of marine life, including turtles, reef sharks, and colorful fish, making it a protected area under the Karimunjawa National Park.
The main island, Karimunjawa Island, is where most accommodations and local life can be found. Visitors can explore traditional fishing villages, hike through tropical forests, or simply relax by the beach. Other notable islands include Menjangan Besar, famous for its shark pool, and Menjangan Kecil, popular for snorkeling.
Despite their growing popularity, the Karimunjawa Islands have retained a laid-back, tranquil atmosphere, far removed from the hustle of Indonesia’s more crowded tourist destinations. With limited Wi-Fi and basic infrastructure in some areas, it’s the perfect place to disconnect and reconnect with nature.
