Singosari district is located on the main highway connecting Surabaya, the capital of East Java province, and Malang city.

A small airport, Abdul Rachman Saleh, has been constructed to facilitate air travel between Malang and Jakarta.

There are a couple of places of interest in Singosari such as the Candi Singhasari, dated to the 13th century, Sumberawan stupa and the 3339 m high Mount Arjuno.

Further to the west from this temple is Ken Dedes swimming pool, believed to be the bathing place and royal garden of Singhasari.

Dwarapala is a squatting giant holding big staff as a weapon, symbolizing the guard of holy places in Javanese culture.
