The northern coastal harbour-city of Semarang, Central Java is a divided city – the old and the new. The old, being located on a coastal plain between two Banjir Canals, and the most interesting to explore.
Semarang is a city full of history, culture, and a bustling centre for trade.
if you say semarang is hot city no if you came in to pasar johar it's very cold in there it's not plug some Air Conditioner but the contruction is good.
When I first visited this beautiful and historical city over fifteen years ago, I had prearranged my accommodation at the Metro Hotel in the old part of the city, near Pasar Johar – a huge labyrinth of market stalls where everything imaginable is for sale. My hotel was situated next to a junction of five roads, known as simpang lima, where the roads branch out into various parts of the city. Pasar Johar is a market complex and is a fruit lover’s delight. Rows of stalls join other rows leading into a complex of other markets right down to the canals, and the other side, into Chinatown
In May and June, a section of its 15,000-square meter area was swamped in rising seawater, which leached into the foundations of the market located in Semarang’s Kota Lama old city area.
Pasar Johar is a cultural heritage (building).
its unique mushroom-shaped pillars are continually exposed to the elements, the building, which boasts a strong and unique construction, may gradually demolish by itself
the method used to raise the building would not harm its structure, thus keeping the original shape of the market which was built by Thomas Karsten in 1933
A steel structure would built beneath the building, which would then be raised on hydraulic jacks
