| Ninety km south of Surabaya lays Malang, one of the most attractive towns in Java. A strong sense of civic pride can be noticed from the well maintained and painted becaks (pedicabs), the neat main square, buildings and streets. The cool climate is one reason why it is highly desirable among the East Javanese as a place to retire. Twenty km from Malang on the southern flank of Mt. Arjuna are Selecta and Songgoriti, popular hill resorts with hot springs. The climate is cool and (five km nearby) is Batu, famous for its apples and flowers. Sports facilities at Selecta include horse riding, swimming, and tennis. |
