Kampung Kemasan in Gresik is widely praised for its charming and authentic heritage atmosphere, featuring buildings that date back to the 1800s. Reviewers frequently mention the unique red-colored architecture, which serves as a popular backdrop for photography. Its proximity to the town square, or alun-alun, makes it a convenient five-minute walk for visitors exploring the city center. The village is described as a remarkable piece of history, offering a window into the past of 'Grisse'. However, some visitors note that the site is currently under-promoted and suggest that more government involvement could help highlight its potential. Despite this, it remains a highly-rated spot for those seeking a quiet and culturally rich experience.
