Tanjung Puting National Park is an internationally famous ecotourism destination, which is located in the southwest

of Central Kalimantan peninsula. Visitors from foreign countries come to this park because of its amazing nature. This is
called a park, but unlike any park that you have seen in your city, this is a jungle! It is a real jungle, which is home to the
most interesting animal in the world: orangutans.
Though the park is home to many animals, seeing orangutans is usually the visitors’ main reason to visit the park.
Orangutans, which literally mean the man of the forest, are the largest arboreal animal on the planet. Most of their lives are
spent in trees where orangutans travel from branch to branch by climbing or swinging with their long arms.
To see orangutans, we should go to Camp Leakey, which is located in the heart of Tanjung Puting National Park.
Camp Leakey is a rehabilitation place for ex-captive orang utans and also a preservation site. It is also a famous center for
research about orangutans which has been conducted by the famous primatologist Dr. Birute Galdikas since 1971. Here
visitors can see daily feedings to orangutans at jungle platforms as part of the rehabilitation process to their natural habitat.
This event gives them opportunity to see orangutans up close.
To reach the place, we should take a boat down Sekonyer river. The boat is popularly called perahu klotok which is
a boathouse that can accommodate four people. The trip by the boat to Camp Leakey takes three days and two nights. You
sleep, cook, and eat in that klotok, night and day during your journey into the jungle.
The traveling in the boat offers an unforgettable experience. In daylight, on your way to Camp Leakey, you can see
trees filled with proboscis monkeys, monkeys that have enormous snout which can only be found in Kalimantan. The
monkeys anxiously await klotok arrivals. A troop of 30 light-brown monkeys may plunge from branches 10 meters or
higher into the river and cross directly in front of the boat. These monkeys know that the boat’s engine noise and the threat
of its propeller scare crocodiles, which find these chubby monkeys delicious. At night, you can enjoy the clear sky and the
amazingly bright stars as the only lights for the night.
With such exotic nature, no wonder many tourists from foreign countries who love ecotourism frequently visit
Tanjung Puting National Park.

Semarang City, the capital of Central Java Province, is located on the northern coast of
Java island. Like all municipalities in Indonesia, it is led by a mayor. The southern parts of the
city are higher than its northern parts. The city covers an area of over 200 square km. It is
divided into 16 kecamatan or sub-districts. Similar to all regions in Indonesia, Semarang has a
tropical climate, with wet and dry seasons.
As of 2015, the population of Semarang City has reached 1.8 million, placing it fifth in
the list of most dense cities in Indonesia. The people are predominantly Javanese, but it also has
a considerably high number of people of Chinese ethnicity. Bahasa Indonesia and Javanese are
the main languages spoken in the city. The population of Chinese ethnicity also speaks Mandarin
or Hokkien.
As there are many people of Chinese ethnicity in Semarang, many Chinese temples were
built as their places of worship. The Sam Poo Kong is the oldest in Semarang. Other historical
landmarks in the city include Tugu Muda, Blenduk Church, and Lawang Sewu. Tugu Muda is a
monument commemorating Indonesia's independence struggle. Blenduk Church is a Protestant
church built by the Dutch in 1753. Lawang Sewu was built as the headquarters of Dutch East
Indies Railway Company. It is famous for its numerous doors, hence the name, literally meaning
"thousand doors."
