After a little climb a beautiful scenery will appear.

Further on the slope of mount Lawu there lays Sukuh temple. The temple is known for her erotic shrine of which structure and shape are like no other temple in Java. The temple is smaller but really interesting with reliefs on the gate and positioned in the garden around the temple. There are even reliefs of naked people and that is how it got the name “Erotic temple”.  The architecture of this temple is different because it is built as a very simple trapezoidal shape and looks because of that more like a Mayan Pyramid than every other temple which is build during the Majapahit Empire

After exploring the Sukuh temple we continue to the Grojogan Sewu Waterfall. Grojogan Sewu, means “a thousand waterfalls”, is located within a 20 ha protected forest area. This forest gives housing to thousands of monkeys. They roam freely without fear in humans.

The city is famous for its cool air and the surrounding country regions of Tumpang, Batu, Singosari, and Turen. People in East Java sometimes call it “Paris of East Java.” Malang was spared many of the effects of the Asian financial crisis, and since that time it has been marked by steady economic and population growth.

Herman Thomas Karsten had designed Malang as a Garden City, a city to escape from daily routine and having a break for the Dutch people at that time. Ijen Boulevard was a romantic touch of Mr. Karsten, here you can see old houses with rows of palm trees in side walk.
