When I returned to China at the end of the winter vacation, I had no choice but to go to Jakarta because I didn't have a suitable flight ticket. Most of the inertial comments about this city come from the Internet: a super city with a population of 30 million, terrible traffic, dirty and messy, poverty and wealth are separated by a wall, speeders touch their mobile phones, and there are even stinky original underwear sold in packages... I feel, well, You can come here to practice before going to India. At the same time, Jakarta is also the fastest sinking city on earth. It will become the contemporary "Atlantis" in 2050. Just because of this name, let's go shopping. To sum up: it is more interesting than imagined, but not much. . Picture ①: Kuningan City The parking lot on the sixth floor above Gate 1 is currently the best auction location in Jakarta, perfectly reflecting the characteristics of this city. Figure ②: Jakarta History Museum It is a Dutch heritage building in 1707. Most of the museum's exhibits are from the 17th to 19th centuries. It is not large in area and the content is relatively hard-core. Many students will come to visit. It is very enthusiastic and healed by their smiles. Picture ③: Kuningan City Rotary parking lot. Figure ④: Jakarta Cathedral Gothic cathedral from 1891, the third largest Catholic church in the world. Picture ⑤: Istiklal Mosque I went there on Friday to worship and didn't go inside. The window grilles are all made of stainless steel and are unique. Picture ⑥: Cafe Batavia A century-old coffee shop, opposite the history museum, the food is average, you have to go to the toilet, you know. Picture ⑦: Gaya Spa Wellness Wolter Monginsidi The horse-killing chicken restaurant most recommended by domestic bloggers can be visited by couples together. It cost about 900rmb for two people, and the technique was good. I was pushed to sleep. After pressing the button, meals will be included on the second floor. Figure ⑧: Bundaran HI The bus station has the best seats. There is no subway in Jakarta, so we mainly rely on buses. Picture ⑨: Pasar Barang Antik Surabaya Antique Street has a lot of strange things. Picture ⑩: Giyanti Coffee Roastery The coffee shop across from the antique street, ranked ninth on the Asian Coffee Top50 list, is the only one in Jakarta. I think the coffee is okay, and I think it tastes better. Figure ⑪: HW Phoenix Bar PIK Don’t go to other beaches in Jakarta, it feels like the 1980s. PIK 2 near the airport is not bad. It is known as Little Bali and is relatively trendy. At this phoenix, you can eat, drink, listen to music, and recommend cocktails 🍸. Picture ⑫: Twelve Chinese Dining Restaurant The 12 zodiac themed restaurant, the decoration is very flashy, the Chinese food tastes good, Australia comes back to save the Chinese stomach.

Visiting Gereja Katedral Jakarta was definitely worth it — the stunning architecture and peaceful vibe made it a memorable stop in the middle of my busy schedule. #JakartaDiary #GerejaKatedral #JakartaCathedral #TravelMoments #CityExploration #IndonesiaTravel

#cityplaybook #localguides #familytrip #historicallandmarks Jakarta is loud, chaotic, crowded—and absolutely unforgettable. As the capital of Indonesia, it’s a city that doesn’t try to impress you—it challenges you to keep up. And once you do, you’ll find a cultural melting pot filled with history, resilience, creativity, and yes—delicious food. I arrived in Central Jakarta, where colonial architecture meets soaring skyscrapers. My first stop was Merdeka Square, home to the impressive Monas (National Monument), a towering tribute to Indonesian independence. The National Museum nearby gave me a crash course on the archipelago’s diverse cultures—over 17,000 islands’ worth of stories. But Jakarta truly came alive when I wandered through Kota Tua (Old Town). Walking past Dutch colonial buildings and sipping iced coffee at Café Batavia felt like stepping back in time—yet street performers and food stalls reminded me this is still a city that pulses with life. I spent an afternoon exploring Glodok, Jakarta’s Chinatown, where Buddhist temples sit beside bustling markets and fragrant noodle stalls. Then I visited Istiqlal Mosque, the largest in Southeast Asia, and across the street, the beautiful Jakarta Cathedral—a powerful symbol of the city’s religious harmony. Jakarta’s traffic is legendary, but I took it as part of the experience. In the evenings, I explored modern malls like Grand Indonesia, caught the sunset at Ancol Beach, and joined locals at Sabang Street for late-night satay and martabak. What truly struck me was Jakarta’s spirit. It’s not always polished, but it’s real, resilient, and endlessly dynamic. A city of contrast and coexistence. Best Time to Visit June to September is the dry season—perfect for sightseeing and outdoor exploration. Helpful Tips Use ride-hailing apps like Gojek or Grab to navigate easily. Try local dishes like nasi goreng, gado-gado, and soto Betawi. Visit during a weekday for less crowded museums and markets.
