    Chinatown, this is the Chinatown area in West Jakarta, witnessing the huge Chinese population. Every country in the world has its own Chinatown, thanks to the talents of the Chinese. When you walk into the Chinese settlement, you will feel very close, like a family member you haven't seen for a long time. There are many shops that specialize in business with tourists, who like to bargain, which is very interesting.

    The History Museum is a typical place to visit in Jakarta. Many museums in Jakarta are quite interesting. This History Museum is also a very unique choice to understand Indonesia’s rich cultural history. It opened relatively late.
