Malang City, Indonesia

Malang is a city in East Java Province, Indonesia. The city is located in a pretty cool highland, located 90 km south of Surabaya and Malang is surrounded by territory. Malang is the second largest city in East Java, and known as student city.


History
The name "Malaysia" is still researched its origins by historians. Historians continue to explore the sources to get the right answers to the origin of the name "Malaysia". To date has obtained several hypotheses about the origin of the name of Malang. Malangkucecwara is written in the symbol of the city, according to one of the hypotheses is the name of a sacred building. The name of the sacred building itself was found in two inscriptions of King Balitung of Central Java which is the inscription Mantyasih in 907, and 908 the inscriptions found in one place between Surabaya and Malang. Yet where is the real shrine Malangkucecwara it, historians are still not getting a deal. One party thought it was the location of a shrine in the mountain area Burying, one that ran in the mountains east of the city of Malang where there is a mountain peak called Malang. Proving the correctness of this conjecture is still underway because it turns out, west of the city of Malang, there is also a mountain called Malang. The other suspect that the real location of the shrine was found in the Overlapping region, one place in the northern city of Malang. Until recently in the area there is still a village named Malangsuka, which some historians, probably derived from the spoken word Malankuca reversed. The opinions above are also corroborated by the many ancient buildings are scattered in the area, such as Candi Jago and Candi Kidal, which both are relics of the kingdom Singasari.
