Explore Jakarta's rich history by beginning with a trip to Glodok, the center of Chinatown. Dedicated to Kuan Yin, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, and constructed before 1650, the Petak Sembilan Chinese Temple is a bustling center of banking, trading, and entertainment. See the Kota Intan Drawbridge next, which is the last one of its sort in Jakarta. It provides a view of the upscale residential area beside the Ciliwung River from the 17th century. Proceed to the Museum Bahari Jakarta located in the famed Sunda Kelapa port after that. It employs displays housed in Dutch warehouses from the 17th century to highlight Indonesia's nautical history. From the museum tower, you can take in expansive views of the harbor. Next, visit the Fatahillah Museum located in Batavia's historic town hall. Maps, antiquities, and porcelain items that depict the history of Dutch rule in Indonesia can be found there. Just a reminder that Mondays and public holidays are closed for the museum. Alternatively, you might visit the antique market on Jalan Surabaya. Lastly, the Museum Wayang features interactive puppet-making exhibits and a sizable collection of traditional Indonesian puppets.
