If you look closely, Pagoda Tian Ti resembles the Temple of Heaven located in China. The similarity is not only in the shape of the building, my friend. But also in color, ornaments, and decorations, both are very similar.
The pagoda, which means Earth and Sky, is located in the Kenjeran Ria Beach Park area or more precisely at Jalan Sukolilo Number 100, Sukolilo Baru, Bulak, Surabaya.

With its distinctive architecture and strong religious tourism, Pagoda Tian Ti is perfect for being captured through a camera lens. Its spacious grounds with unique views make Pagoda Tian Ti worthy of being on the checklist as an Instagrammable tourist spot in Surabaya.
Colosseum Club House
To see a colosseum with unique architecture, you don't have to go far to Rome, my friend. Just head to Surabaya, specifically to Bukit Mas Tourism, Lidah Wetan, Lakarsantri District, where you will be treated to beautiful views of a building resembling the Roman colosseum.
This building, which resembles a colosseum, surrounds a luxury hotel with a large swimming pool behind it. In the colosseum courtyard, there are typical Greek statues of men resembling gods with their horses. Surrounding the building are refreshing green plants.

Jalan Tunjungan
Just as Yogyakarta has the famous Malioboro street tourist destination among foreign tourists, Surabaya also has an interesting tourist attraction in the form of a street, namely Jalan Tunjungan. Interestingly, Jalan Tunjungan has a special historical story.
In the past, when Indonesia was still colonized, there was a heroic event in Surabaya, when the young people of Surabaya bravely tore down the Dutch flag. This event took place right on Jalan Tunjungan, my friend.
However, it is not only because of that event that Jalan Tunjungan became famous among local and international tourists.
