Almost all of the zoos in Europe have some collections of fauna from Surabaya Zoo because it has become a centre for Fauna Conservation.
Surabaya Zoo [or Kebun Binatang Surabaya/ KBS] has been functioned so far by people as a recreational place only. Out of this, KBS has three other functions, those are educational, research, and conservational purposes of animals. It is related to the fauna collection and the function of KBS as a centre for Fauna Conservation.
Originally, KBS was activated by some Dutch people in 1916 that had hobbies to collect flora and fauna. At that time they named it as the Botanical Park and Surabaya Zoo.
In 1970’s it was said that KBS had been the biggest zoo in the South East Asia even though if it is compared to Jakarta Ragunan Zoo, the total amount of the animal collections are not really different.
Ă‚Â The present collections of KBS are 4691 animals from 307 species which are known from the three month report I [April 2005]. Most foreign visitors love to see komodos and babi rusa. Komodo is the ancient animal that still exists in Indonesia.
KBS has 32 komodos that 11 of them are adult, 5 males and 6 females. The other 21 are young and baby komodos. The oldest is 25 years old and weghts 100 kgs. Babi rusa is also interesting to see because this is a rare animal and still controversial whether it belongs to swine [babi] or deer [rusa].
KBS which is located at the gate of Surabaya has attracted 977.901 visitors so far [July 2005 report]. KBS has always tried to served better by offering various items and programs for the visitors.

Mohammad Cheng Hoo Mosque has special characteristic compared to other mosques because of its firstly Chinese architecture style that is found in Indonesia. Located on Jl. Gading no.2 Surabaya (in the East Java PITI’s buildings) Mohammad Cheng Hoo Mosque has the special Chinese architecture style which is dominated with the colours of green, red, and yellow and also the ornaments that can be found only in the old buildings of early generation of Chinese in Indonesia also can be seen in the Mohammad Cheng Hoo Mosque.
This mosque was officially opened on May 28th, 2003 by Prof. Dr. SAID AGIL AL MUNAWAR, the Minister of Religious Affairs and it spent Rp. 700 millions. Actually Mohammad Cheng Hoo Mosque is the first mosque in Surabaya and even in Indonesia that has the special characteristic of its Chinese architecture.
On the right side of this mosque, there is a miniature of Admiral Mohammad Cheng Hoo’s ship [which is well known by the name Sam Po Kong]. Admiral Sam Po Kong was a moslem from china in which of his 7 journeys (in 1405-1433) traveled to Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and he used to visit Indonesia.
Ă‚Â Beside his peaceful diplomation and trade purposes with the kingdoms in the Indonesian Archipelago, he also preached the teaching of Islam to the native people. Further, it can be said that Admiral Mohammad Cheng Hoo was one of the pioneers of Islamic preachers in Indonesia.
The plan of this mosque was inspired by the building of Niu Jie Mosque in Beijing. Niu Jie Mosque has 21X11 meters fir its width, which the main building is 11X9 meters, and the floor is higher than the side building. The roof is constructed in Pagoda style that has three-storey octagonal shape.
The all 3 sizes or numbers have their meanings. 11 symbolizes the Kabah size at the first construction of it. 9 is associated with the Wali Songo (Nine Saints of the earliest preachers of Islam in Java), and 8 (or Pat Kwa-in Chinese numerology) means the fortune/glory. On the left and right main building also can be seen the supporting buildings with the size is 5 X 7 meters. And these two buildings are lower than the main one.
Ă‚Â Mohammad Cheng Hoo Mosque can accommodate up to 250 worshippers. But o every Friday, Id-ul Fitri and Id-ul Adha prayer the time when the worshippers are more, there will be a tent so that it can accommodate from 800 up to 2500 worshippers in the front yard of the mosque.
Mohammad Cheng Hoo Mosque is under the guidance of Ustadz (Islamic teacher) Drs. H. BURNADI (TJHIA SIN HAK) that has witnessed the process of islamization for dozens of new Moslems from Chinese people. This achievement has never been done before in all parts of PITI in Indonesia.
The existence of Mohammad Cheng Hoo Mosque has introduced and ensured the Chinese people about the teaching of Islam by a true approach, not by forcing them.
Since for the first time announced to the public, Mohammad Cheng Hoo Mosque has helped the understandings of the Chinese people and especially the Chinese moslems so that they can have the mutual understandings for all parts of people, from university society, Islamic teaching groups, or individuals.
This mosque is not only functioned for discussions, Islamic teaching, the massive kids’ circumcision, dzikir [repeatedly chant part of the confession of faith, often in unison as a form of worship], health treatment, and so on, but also used to hold the wedding ceremony from many ethnics and tribes.
Suggestion and Prohibition:
Considering that this mosque is a worship place, some should be noticed that:
-Take off shoes and sandals while entering the worship place of the mosque
-Dress modestly and politely
-For a group, it is better to contact: [031] 5342224, East Java PITI Committee.

Eastern Javanese history usually devided into three dynasti periods. The first was the period when the kings of Kadiri ruled over Java (10th - 1222 AD) they ware succeeded by the dynasty of Singasari (1222 - 1293 AD), which in turn was replaced by the kings of Majapahit (1293 - early 16th century)
Raden Wijaya was the son-in low of Kertanegara the last king of Singasari who had been murdered by Jayakatwang from Gelang-Gelang. Then Jayakatwang was defeated by Wijaya Utlilizing the Mongol armies, who came to Java to punish Kertanegara. Finally by cunning tricks Wijaya defeated the Mongols and drove then away. Then Wijaya ascended the throne as the fiest king of Majapahit on 1293 AD. In the Lands of Trik he buil a strong hold, and the capital was named Majapahit also, after the bitter maja fruit, a sort of tree which grew in abundance in that area. His formal name was Kertarajasa Jayawarddhana. Wijaya died in 1309 AD.
Ă‚Â
Ă‚Â
He was succeeded by his son, Jayanegara, whose mother was a Malayu princess. Jayanegara was murdered by his surgeon on 1328 AD. He should be succeeded by his stepmother, Rajapatni who retered from court to be come a nun in Buddhist monastery, Therefore she appointed her doughther, Tribhuwana as a queen of Majapahit to rule under her auspices.
The fomous prime minister Gajah Mada assisted Tribhuwana in her reign, and would afterwards serve King Hayam Wuruk also. During Tribhuwana’s rule Majapahit grew to be a great kingdom and famous on all the seas of the Archipelago and a broad. Tribhuwana ruled until the death of her mother in 1350 AD. Then her son Hayam Wuruk ascended the throne.
Majapahit’s Power reached its summit under the rule of King Hayam Wuruk. Gajah Mada was again prime minister until his death in 1365 AD. After Hayam Wuruk died in 1389 AD. The country was split up by fraternal conflitets. Hayam Wuruk had been succeeded by the crown princess Kusumawarddhani, who had married a relative, Prince Wikramawarddhana. Hayam Wuruk also had a son by his previous marriage, that was the crown princess Wirabhumi. He was jealous of his sister and his brother in-law, so he claimed rights to the throne. The tense relations betwen the two parties remained a smoldering fire during some.

spices, including cloves. In 1932, after the birth of a third daughter, Kwang,
in 1928, the family and the business had outgrown the house on Jalan Ngaglik
No.9, with Seeng Tee again needing new premises for his family and factory.
To him it was imperative that the family lived at the factory. Not only did this
enable him to supervise every facet of the factory’s operations, it also gave
his sons the opportunity to learn the business. This tradition of the Sampoerna
patriarch residing at the factory remains with the family even until today.
While the house on Jalan Ngaglik provided for his immediate family and factory
requirements, Seeng Tee was also keen to make arrangements for his extended
family. Seeng Tee searched for more than a year for a suitable site for his new
factory and growing family before finally purchasing a building complex that had
previously been the site of a Dutch-supported orphanage.
After surveying the site on a number of occasions, Seeng Tee finally decided
that, with some modifications, the structure would suit his need for a safe and
hospitable home for his family, coupled with the space to build his tobacco business
in a single efficient location. The compound consisted of numerous large single-story
open space buildings in addition to a large central building that was previously used
as an auditorium. Two residences, located adjacent to the central building, were
converted into the family’s quarters. The west residence was eventually occupied
by Swie Hwa, the elder son, and his family.
The other buildings, except for the central assembly building, were quickly converted
into blending and hand-rolling space with printing, clove processing, and finished
good processing all added by early 1934. The factory, now called Taman Sampoerna,
was a very busy place. Hand-blending would begin by 5.30am with both men and
women working at the blending compound. This compound was Seeng Tee’s favourite
place in the factory because he felt that controlling this process was the key to his company’s success. Hand-rolling would start at about six in the morning and continue
until five or six in the evening. From the time Taman Sampoerna opened for business
in 1933 until the War started, the factory operated seven days a week, 12 to 15 hours
a day, depending on the demand from the agents distributing the product across the archipelago.
