Jakarta and Its Interesting Places

Jakarta, well known as capital and largest city of the Republic of Indonesia, has many interesting places to visit. Interesting places in Jakarta are not only the recreational parks or shopping centers, but also historical places and religious buildings. In the following paragraphs, I will mention some of those places.
Let see some historical places first. National Monument (Monas) is the most famous structure in Jakarta. Monas is a 140 meters high structure of a marble obelisk that commemorates Indonesia’s independence from the Netherlands in 1945. Monas is located at the centre of Merdeka Square in Central Jakarta. The other interesting historical place is Istana Merdeka, which is the presidential palace now. Formerly, this site used to be Dutch Governor’s palace during Netherlands’ colonization over Indonesia.
Jakarta has many interesting recreational parks and amusement parks too. Dufan, or Dunia Fantasi, is the most visited amusement park in Jakarta and the biggest one in Southeast Asia. If you want to get both recreation and knowledge of Indonesia, you can go to Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, which is located in the southeast area of the city. Taman Mini Indonesia Indah is a large cultural theme park depicting the arts, customs, and lifestyle of each of Indonesia's provinces and districts. Or else, if you want to see many kinds of species of animals, you can visit Ragunan Zoo in South Jakarta. This zoo is quite big and has some unique animal species.
Istiqlal Mosque and Cathedral Church in Central Jakarta must be considered as one of interesting places in Jakarta. Istiqlal Mosque is the biggest mosque in Southeast Asia and Cathedral Church is the biggest church in the country. It becomes more interesting since these two religious buildings were built next to each other. If we travel through the street that bounds these two gigantic structures, we can feel the harmony of religious activities between two religions, Islam and Catholic.
Have you ever visited Jakarta and its interesting places? If you have not, why don’t you plan to visit Jakarta in your next vacation? I bet you won’t regret your visit to Jakarta. If you have, what is your opinion about Jakarta? It is so interesting, isn’t it?
