In the past, Malang was famous by its cool air, and it was still like that in the rainy season. But, because of the polution by manufactories, cars, and peoples, the currently Malang is hot and crowded. The most problem is 1 person 1 car, it's bad :(

But, Malang still a beautiful city, and so many beautiful places you should go. There are so many beaches, park, and maybe just a cafe :p

The first I will tell you about Malang city, about how can you come to Malang. If you are a tourist, then you should go to by plane.
