The city covers an area of about 335 square kilometers, with a population of about 3 million, and a population of about 10 million in the Surabaya metropolitan area. 💥History and culture Surabaya has a rich historical and cultural heritage😎. It has become a foreign trade port in Java in the Middle Ages and is one of the earliest port cities in Southeast Asia. It is also regarded as the "City of Heroes". On November 10, 1945, the people of Surabaya fought fiercely with the advanced armed forces of the Allies, so November 10 was designated as "Hero's Day". 🏙️City landscape - Hero Monument (Tugu Pahlawan): This is the symbol of Surabaya. It was built to commemorate the great contributions made by the people of Surabaya in the Indonesian independence movement. It is a must-visit place to feel the heroic spirit of Surabaya. - Zheng He Mosque: The world's first mosque named after a Chinese name was built to commemorate Zheng He's voyage to the West.

Even in 2004, it erupted with bright red and hot lava, young and full of vitality. - Ijen Volcano (Mount Ijen): It is famous for its unique blue flame. The blue fire in the night is looming in the smoke, both beautiful and weird. - Sewu Waterfall (Sewu Waterfall): The beautiful and spectacular thousand-layer waterfall is one of the natural wonders of Surabaya. 🍱Food paradise Surabaya has a rich and diverse food culture😋.
