Your Indonesia City Guide

A Melting pot Of People, Cultures & Cuisines

I

n global terms Indonesia has demonstrated remarkable resilience over the last decade and in many ways is developing into a regional power, not just because of its size but because of its increasing attractiveness as an investment hub.

There are, of course, huge challenges ahead, but as the rapidly growing middle class testifies, entrepreneurship, improved accountability and openness continue to be the engine of change and a conduit by which people are given the chance to add both personal wealth and to the development of the nation.

Due to its sheer geographical scale, Indonesia is a hugely diverse country with an incredible array of differing landscapes, people, cultures, cuisines and expectations. The historical influences, from the invaders and traders to the pre and post-colonial religious and cultural influences, have shaped and continue to shape the nation, and its urban and rural populations.

For the older generation, the country must be unrecognisable, whilst at the same time

for their younger peers, especially those in its major cities, it must be impossible to consider the difficulties most of their grandparents endured.

Alongside the economic progress there has also been a movement towards defining what it means to be Indonesian, an impossible task some might argue, however a goal that has seen a resurgence in the traditional Indonesian arts, the evolution of Indonesian fine dining and a growing assertion of nationhood that embraces the country’s variety and history.

Perhaps this is what Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz meant in 1677 when he coined the phrase Unity in Diversity, adopted on independence

by Indonesia as its motto. The phrase was a deliberate oxymoron on the part of Leibniz as he looked to advance multiculturalism in Europe, but for the Republic of Indonesia, it precisely captures both the strength and potential within and that is something to rejoice in. So, together, let’s Celebrate Indonesia.

Jakarta

different Indonesian ethnic groups, migrants and traders and was regularly mired in both local and international conflict. During the Second World War, the occupying Japanese renamed the city Jakarta and, in 1950, it was officially named capital of the newly formed republic, five years after the nation had proclaimed independence.

As the gateway into Indonesia, Jakarta is considered a truly global city and the capital of one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Its growth is highlighted not just in the increasing number of luxury apartment blocks, business skyscrapers, international restaurants and cars, but with the shifting emphasis towards infrastructure development. None are more obvious than the expansion of Soekarno-Hatta Coordinates Populations International Airport which, in 2017, served 63 6°12’S 106°49’E 10,177,924 million passengers, ranking 17TH on the list of City Areas Area Codes the world’s busiest airports.

The city traces its roots to Sunda Kelapa, a bustling port town on the northern coast known to have existed since at least the 15TH century and which today is still home to Jakarta’s traditional harbour. Fuelled by the booming spice trade, the port expanded quickly and soon became part of the new city of Batavia. With the arrival of traders from Britain, Portugal and the increased influence of merchants from India and the Middle East, Batavia became a magnet for Chinese and other migrants from around modern Indonesia, who fuelled not only population growth but generated great wealth. As Batavia prospered the Dutch constructed houses and canals, some of which still remain. It was a melting-pot of

Located within the Special Region of Yogyakarta, the city of Yogyakarta is known as the centre of classical Javanese art and culture.

It is famous for its batik, traditional dance and drama, music, poetry and shadow puppetry. At the centre is the Keraton, the sultan’s palace, a vast complex that is both the political and cultural epicentre of this remarkable little city.

The traditional inner core buildings are dated between 1755 and 1756, with the European touches to the interior here added much later in the 1920s. It is one of the finest remaining examples of Javanese palace architecture, with a series of luxurious halls and vast courtyards and pavilions. Substantial parts of the Keraton are open to the public and display an array of historical artefacts, including gilt copies of the sacred pusaka and a huge collection of gamelan instruments. One of the most interesting rooms displays the royal family tree, full of photographs, old and new, of royal weddings and portraits of the former sultans, whilst another display is dedicated to the current holder of the title, Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, with an array of photographs and personal effects.

Despite its small size, it is one of Indonesia’s most renowned centres of higher education, particularly those with an emphasis on research, arts and religion, and includes renowned private and state universities, such as Gadjah Mada University, Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana and Universitas Negeri. There are a multitude of interesting and some unique places to visit within the city and throughout the Special Region of Yogyakarta. At the top of that list is surely a day out at Borobudur temple. Around 40km northwest of the Keraton, Borobudur is a vast a 9TH century Mahayana Buddhist temple and a true Indonesian icon.

One of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world, the temple consists of nine stacked platforms, six square and three circular, topped by a central dome. The temple is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.

The dome is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa. There are also stunning sunrise and sunset views. For art lovers, the choice is endless, but one of the most popular is the epic Ramayana ballet performed at Prambanan Temple, another fascinating temple that dates back to the 9TH century. Typically there are 10 to 12 performances per month and, between May and October, these take place at the temple’s marvellous outdoor theatre.

With a large natural harbour, Surabaya was one of the earliest port cities in Southeast Asia and rivalled both Shanghai and Hong Kong through the 18TH and 19TH centuries in terms of global importance. It was the largest city in the Dutch East Indies until surpassed by Batavia in 1920, as well as being the centre of much of its trade from the Spice Islands and the plantations of Java. Its location at the edge of the Straits of Madura also made it a port of significant strategic military value and it was home to the Dutch East Indies fleet.

Today, after a long and often violent pre and post-colonial history, Surabaya is the capital of the Indonesian province of East Java and is a vibrant metropolis with modern skyscrapers towering over both traditional and modern Javanese homes, canals and a selection of colonial buildings, some like the Hotel Majapahit in the centre of Surabaya being classic legacy buildings. Like most port cities, Surabaya has a thriving Chinatown and Arab Quarter that expanded as the traders, sailors and migrant workers settled and added their own flavour

| 16

Surabaya is full of commemorative statues and interesting references to the Indonesian battle for independence. The city is often referred as Kota Pahlawan, or the city of heroes, a specific reference to the role of the Battle of Surabaya which, although the Indonesian side were heavily beaten, acted as a catalyst and galvanized support for the independence movement both at home and abroad; a pivotal moment in the wider struggle. For the more adventurous traveller Surabaya is also the gateway to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, Java’s most recognisable and beautiful vista and home to the Tenggerese, who claim to be the direct descendants of the Majapahit princes. The population of roughly 100,000 is found in just 30 villages in the isolated higher reaches of the park, where they practice a unique mix of Hinduism infused with Animism and Buddhism.

to the city. Today it remains a melting-pot of cultures, styles and cuisines. The dining and nightlife in the city is a reflection of city’s people and, with a large Muslim majority, naturally there are huge numbers of halal cafés and restaurants serving both local and Arabic food. There is also a plethora of international options, with some outstanding Italian, Indian and Cantonese restaurants in particular.
