The only foreign city named after China people.

The only foreign city named after China people: Semarang.

Semarang is the only city named after China people in the world, which can be said to be the pride of China people. During the Ming Dynasty, China had very close contacts with Southeast Asian countries, and there were many cultural exchanges. Among many diplomats, Zheng He was one of the most valued by the emperor. We all know that Zheng He went to the Western Seas. He made great contributions to the spread of Chinese culture and was also an excellent diplomat.

While spreading Chinese culture, Zheng He will actively absorb the cultural essence of other countries and guide it to China, so as to integrate the cultural exchanges between the two countries. The reason why the Semarang Society has a relationship with Zheng He is because Zheng He's arrival is the hope of Semarang, and it is Zheng He who has made this place have its present status and prosperity, so the residents here are very grateful to Zheng He, and therefore the city is named Semarang.

Local commemorative activities

During Zheng He's voyage to the West, he not only publicized the greatness of our Chinese nation, but also made many countries look at us with new eyes. I also learned about the geographical situation at that time and made great contributions. And this place has activities to commemorate Zheng He every year. And this activity is especially grand. Not only many people will take part in this activity here, but everyone will also hold an icon of Zheng He in the street. And there are some dragon and lion dances that are particularly lively.

So you can choose this time when you travel to this place again, on June 30th every year. You will be able to meet this particularly grand event here and participate in it. And the scenery of this place is very beautiful, because it is a city near the sea, and it is very comfortable to live here.

Today's Semarang is particularly prosperous, and it is also a relatively large port with a good geographical position. There are many overseas Chinese living here, and there are some footprints of China people. All China people do business here. I believe this city will become more and more prosperous.
