Central
Java
Province,
as
one
of
the
Indonesia
tourist
destination
areas,
offers
various
kinds
of
tourist
attractions
whether
natural,
cultural,
or
man
made
features.
Central
Java
is
located
exactly
in
the
middle
of
Java
Island.
It
borders
with
West
Java
Province
in
the
western
part,
while
in
the
eastern
part
borders
with
East
Java
Province.
On
the
part
of
the
southern
side
lies
also
the
province
of
Yogyakarta
Special
Region.
Central
Java
is
the
island's
cultural,
geographic,
and
historic
heartland.
Universities,
dance
schools,
pottery,
handicrafts,
textiles
and
carving,
give
to
the
region
a
rich
culture
and
interesting
shopping.
This
is
also
the
place
of
the
famous
Javanese
temples
of
Borobudur.
But
it
is
not
the
only
ones
to
be
noted;
Dieng
plateau
and
Sukuh
temple
are
worth
a
visit.
Performing
arts
is
still
widely
practiced,
and
traditional
dance
dramas
(Wayang
Orang)
or
shadow
puppets
(Wayang
Kulit)
performances
are
easy
to
find.
Mountains
cross
the
entire
central
portion
of
the
province.
The
cool
slopes
contain
numerous
hill
resorts
(Tawangmangu,
Kaliurang,
Sarangan). |

The
very
first
Moslem
kingdom
on
the
island
was
founded
in
1511
at
Demak,
about
40
km
from
Semarang.
Today
Demak
is a
sleepy
little
town,
however,
its
glory
of
the
past
is
still
visible
from
one
of
the
major
relics,
which
is
still
well
preserved.
The
Grand
Mosque,
a
quaint
blend
of
Hindu
and
Islamic
architecture,
still
honored
and
worshipped
by
Javanese
pilgrims.
Surakarta,
better
known
as
Solo,
is
the
cradle
of
Javanese
culture
in
the
province.
TV
courts
of
Solo
embody
the
noble
value
that
the
Javanese
attach
to
grace
and
refinement,
with
majestic
ceremonies
and
royal
festivals
still
held
with
great
pomp
and
circumstance.
Although
no
longer
the
seat
of
power
it
once
was,
descendants
of
the
royal
houses
of
Solo
are
regarded
as
leaders
of,
Javanese
culture
and
traditions,
upholding
standards
of
sophistication
and
conduct. |
