 East
Java has a variety of attractions, from temple
sites to scenic beaches, a sand-sea, highland-lakes,
volcanoes, marine gardens and wildlife reserves.
As the power in Central
Java declined around the tenth century, powerful
kingdoms rose in East Java to fill the vacuum.
Between 1055 and 1222, the kingdom of Kediri prospered
and expanded. During the reign of king Erlangga
both East Java and Bali enjoyed a lucrative trade
with the surrounding islands when their arts flourished.
Parts of the Mahabarata
epic were translated and reinterpreted to conform
closer to the East Javanese outlook and philosophy,
and it was from this era that East Java inherited
much of its treasure of temple art. In
1292 the Majapahit dynasty began an empire that
was to dominate the entire archipelago, the Malay
peninsula and part of the Philippines. Majapahit
also established profitable trade relations with
China and other countries of the South East Asian
region. Today the open-air amphi theater at Pandaan
tells some of the stories of this glorious past.
Aided by the Java Ballet performances against
a backdrop of distant volcanoes, any traveler
will be easily enthralled by the East Java experience,
capturing the spirit of the province's culture
and scenery. Its capital, Surabaya is second
to Jakarta in size, population and commerce. East
Java is also the most industrialized province
in the nation. Its economy is based on agriculture,
fishery, oil industries, coffee, mangoes and apples.
Connected with the
rest of Java by good motor roads and train services,
there are also air services between Surabaya and
other major cities in the country including Bali
which is only half an hour's flight a way. It
is also easily accessible by road and regular
ferry from Bali and Java. The island of Madura,
famous for its bull races, is part of the
province of East Java, though it has its own traditions
and language.
 Magnificent
mountain scenery include the crater and sea of
sand at Mount Bromo, the "sulfur mountain"
Welirang and rugged lien Plateau. Little of the
Majapahit empire's former glory still stands in
East Java to day with the exception of temple
ruins and some archaeological discoveries. East
Java's claim to fame in modern history is its
vanguard role in the struggle for independence
against colonial forces in 1945.
