Jakarta
the capital city of the Republic of Indonesia, is
a special territory enjoying the status of a
province, consisting of Greater Jakarta, covering
an area of 637.44 square km. Located on the
northern coast of West Java, it is the center of
government, commerce and industry and as such has
an extensive communications network with the rest
of the country and the outside world. As
Indonesia's main gateway, the Soekarno-Hatta
International Airport serves a growing number of
international airlines and domestic flights.
Jakarta is a city of contrasts; the traditional
and the modern, the rich and the poor, the sacral
and the worldly, often stand side by side in this
bustling metropolis.

Even its population, gathered
from all those diverse ethnic and cultural groups
which compose Indonesia, are constantly juxtaposed
as an ever- present reminder of the national
motto; Unity in Diversity.

Central
Java
Flanked by West and East Java, this
province is centrally located on Java island with
Semarang as its provincial capital situated on the
northern coast. A network of good roads and
highways in addition to solid railways linking its
major cities and villages plus the accessibility
to reach it by air through three main airports,
all assure the visitor that he finds himself in a
region with more than adequate communications
|

To
most Indonesian visitors Central Java's history
and its social influence over the whole nation are
relatively known. The very first Moslem kingdom on
the island was founded in 1511 at Demak, about 40
km from Semarang, which became the beachhead from
which Islam spread out throughout the island.
Today Demak is a sleepy little town, however, its
glory of the past is still visible from one of the
major relics now still well preserved, the Grand
Mosque, a quaint blend of Hindu and Islamic
architecture, still honored and worshipped by
Javanese pilgrims.

Yogyakarta
Or simply Yogya, is one of the foremost cultural
centers of Java. Located at the foot of the active
Merapi volcano, Yogyakarta was in the 16th and
17th centuries the seat of the mighty Javanese
empire of Mataram., from which present day
Yogyakarta has inherited the best of traditions.
The city itself has a special charm which seldom
fails to captivate the visitor.This
province is one of the most densely populated
areas of Indonesia. The city came into being in
1755, after the division of Mataram into the
Sultanates of Yogyakarta and Surakarta (Solo). |
|
Gamelan, classical and contemporary Javanese
dances, the wayang kulit leather puppet theater
and other expressions of traditional art will keep
the visitor spellbound. Local craftsmen excel in
the arts of batiks, silver and leather work.

East
Java
covering the area of Surabaya, Malang, Bromo
and Ijen
Magnificent mountain scenery include the
crater and sea of sand at Mount Bromo, the
"sulfur mountain" Welirang and rugged
lien Plateau. Little of the Majapahit empire's
former glory still stands in East Java to day with
the exception of temple ruins and some
archaeological discoveries. East Java's claim to
fame in modern history is its vanguard role in the
struggle for independence against colonial forces
in 1945. |

that has the most bustling city. Business and
leisure trip as a choice to visit the east of
Java.
