On the edge of the Ampera Bridge in the past, there were still few buildings. Now, the bridge has become more beautiful with illuminating lights. The surrounding area of the bridge has also become crowded with community buildings.

2. Thousand Doors

The former headquarters building of PT KAI has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Semarang. Located in the middle of the street, Lawang Sewu has become the center of attention. Moreover, the folklore surrounding Lawang Sewu has made it even more famous.

However, who would have thought that in front of this tourist attraction was once a railway track. This is because before becoming the headquarters of PT KAI, Lawang Sewu was the office of the Dutch NIS during the colonial period. So it's no wonder that Lawang Sewu has Dutch architectural buildings that are still preserved today.

3. Malioboro

The road located in the center of Yogyakarta City is a tourist attraction when visiting the city. Malioboro is one of the famous shopping and culinary areas in Indonesia.

However, it turns out that Malioboro used to be very different from now, you know. In the 1930s, Malioboro was just an ordinary road used as a means of transportation for the community. There were only a few buildings around it.

4. Borobudur Temple

The temple that was once one of the 7 wonders of the world apparently was not as beautiful as it is now. Before it was restored, Borobudur Temple was a ruined and disorganized building.

After 50 years of renovation process, the temple located in Magelang, Central Java is now very beautiful and has become one of the famous tourist attractions in Indonesia and abroad.

5. Jam Gadang

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The Jam Gadang clock tower has become an icon of Bukittinggi City, West Sumatra as well as a tourist attraction. Around the Jam Gadang area, there are residential areas and parks that are used as places for relaxation."

he translation of the given text from Bahasa to English while preserving HTML tags is as follows: The shape of the 'Jam Gadang' clock with a 'Gonjong' roof turns out to only exist in the present time. In the past, the 'Jam Godong' clock only had a plain roof and was located in high areas, so people who wanted to see it had to use a horse-drawn carriage

6. Sikidang Crater

The largest active crater in Dieng has become one of the favorite tourist attractions for tourists. Around it, there is a fence to prevent tourists from getting too close to the crater.

However, it turns out that Kawah Sikidang used to not have any fence barriers, so extra caution is needed when visiting this place.

7. Monas

Who doesn't know this one icon of Jakarta City. The beautiful appearance of Monas with its golden roof and surrounding garden makes it comfortable to look at.

But the shape of Monas in the past was not as beautiful as it is now because it was still in a long process of construction. Monas used to only be in the form of a tall pole like a chimney.

8. Yogyakarta Monument

Tugu Jogja has become a symbol of Yogyakarta City and a bustling area for the community. Tourists who visit this Sultanate region certainly consider Tugu Jogja as one of their destinations.

The appearance of Tugu Jogja and its surroundings is now different from the past, you know. In the past, Tugu Jogja did not have boundaries and there were rarely any buildings or people passing by around it.

9. Aerospace Statue

Anyone who crosses the Pancoran area will definitely come across the Dirgantara Statue. The Dirgantara Statue is one of the famous statues located in Jakarta.

Currently, the Dirgantara Statue is located in the middle of a busy street with tall buildings. However, it turns out that the area around the Pancoran Statue used to have almost no buildings.

10. Great Mosque

The mosque located in the middle of the town square of Bandung city is crowded with tourists. Masjid Agung has a magnificent building with a view of the town square garden that will leave anyone who visits it in awe.

However, the Great Mosque in the past was not less magnificent than it is now. It's just that there used to be no vast green park stretching in front of the Great Mosque.
