It’s highly suggested to undertake the tour that takes you on a journey through Chinatown, covering the temple, marketplace, business areas, culinary spots, and nightlife. Glodok, one of the largest Chinatowns in Indonesia, was famously known as Pecinan, with Tionghoa referencing Chinese. It’s part of the old city abundant with historical sites from the Dutch colonial era. In the 17th century, Glodok served as an isolation spot for easy governance due to their business acumen. Chinese Indonesians have amassed numerous tales from the colonial period and the subsequent financial crisis. Arriving as sailor traders, the Chinese have made notable successes in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, and established a major business district in Jakarta called PIK.
