English Walking Tour – The Tales from Pantjoran (Chinatown) – 5 November 2023

Rp 215.000

The history of Jakarta’s Chinatown dates back to the Dutch East India Company’s rule over the archipelago. During that time, the Company designated a specific area for the Chinese community to reside, keeping them outside the city walls of Batavia (the city’s old name during Dutch occupation) after a racial riot in 1740.

We will visit various sites that bear witness to the existence of the old Chinese community, showcasing a culture that remains robust to this day. Explore the oldest Chinese temple in Jakarta, established since 1650, and a Peranakan “mansion” that provides insight into their way of life. The community has been an integral part of Batavia for centuries, and their culture has seamlessly integrated with Indonesian customs. We can find a lot of examples in language, architecture, trade, and cuisine.

Therefore, feel free to discover the iconic and rich historical places in Chinatown with Walk Indies! Looking forward to seeing you soon, Fellow Travelers!
