Explain a story about tour - Individual

         The palace court with its grand and elegant Javanese architecture lies in the center of the city. Prince Mangkubumi founded the palace in 1755. The Prince then was called Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono I and he chose the right location of the compound between Winongo River and Code River. The palace stretches out from north to south. The front yard is called alun-alun Utara (the North Square), and the back yard is called Alun-alun Selatan (the South Square). The layout of the buildings shows that the Palace, the commemorative column and Mount Merapi lie in one line. The palace meeting hall is called Pagelaran, where formal meetings of palace officials are held, while the "Manguntur Tingkil" hall is the place where the Sultan is seated.

          The visitors can enjoy the atmosphere of the kraton in former times by visiting the life-size diorama of wedding ceremonies on the palace meeting hall, performed by puppets, which are intentionally arranged to create such an atmosphere. Sets of Javanese musical instruments, antiques and heirlooms have made the palace of Yogyakarta worth to visit. Many sets of gamelan music instruments, antiques, and heirlooms make the palace of Yogyakarta the most interesting tourist attractions in Yogyakarta. The palace of Ngayogyokarto Hadiningrat is now the dwelling place of Sultan Hamengku Buwono X and the family.

          West of the palace, there is Water Castle, built in 1758 by the prince, Sultan Hamengkubuwono I. The Water Castle is located in the older part of the city within walking distance from the Bird Market. Part of the pleasure garden and castle is at present no more than an intriguing collection of ruins, pools, arches and underground passages enclosed by massive walls, however, the central courtyard with the nymph-baths has been restored. A number of batik workshops line the avenue leading to the pleasure garden's entrance.

experience of tourism

first settlement of ethnic-Chinese civilization in Tangerang through the iconic Chinese-style ancient house designed with low-curving sloped roofs in the midst of Pasar Lama traditional market named Benteng Heritage Museum, the first Chinese-Indonesian heritage museum in Indonesia.

As independence day is considered one of National holidays, you will only see dead silence of this market with no purchasing-and-bargaining transaction. Instead, scattered trashes, frowsy tends along the street and malodorous smell are the things you can witness if wandering down to the center of Pasar Lama traditional market on August 17. You only can go on foot if having a plan to visit Benteng Heritage Museum.

The more you stroll around, the more vivid you will find this museum that is believed to be exist in around 17th century, still with its Chinese ancient temple-like buildings. Most importantly, you can see Indonesia’s national flag dangling towards the skylight above, indicating that ethnic-Chinese community is the part of Indonesia as stated in Bhinekka Tunggal Ika.

Its beautiful first-floor terrace facing the life of the street in Pasar Lama traditional market simply makes this museum become an example of the 17th century Chinese-style house in Tangerang. If going inside the museum, you will see such cultural blends between Chinese and Indonesian through its architectural construction on the first floor named gerbang bulan or moon gate completed with old photographs about Tionghoa life and festivals in Tangerang called Peh Cun.

Ethnic-Chinese community in Tangerang is often referred as Cina Benteng, meaning ‘the Chinese of the fort’€, a name derived from Tangerang and the bend in the Cisadane River becoming the site of a Dutch fort in the 17th century. Besides, some of them called themselves as Hitachi (Hitam Tapi Cina), a term to describe the physical feature of Chinese people in Tangerang who share the black skin just like local Indonesians.

If you walk further around 300 meters and turn right, you will see Boen Tek Bio, one of the ancient Buddhist temples where incense still smolders. Unfortunately, we cannot explore further the temple as there are many people who pay a visit to pray for Gods.
