Here, the cathedral and the mosque are only separated by one street💒🕌

Standing at the crossroads of faith, the dramatic thing is that the Jakarta Cathedral is right opposite the mosque🕌️ Two unique buildings representing different faiths face each other across the street, giving tourists the impact of different cultures. This is the magical Jakarta! The following are must-visit attractions in Jakarta to experience Indonesia’s unique historical customs and religious charm. 🏛️ Jakarta Old Town 📍 Kota Tua It's like traveling through a time tunnel, returning to the Dutch colonial period. There are many old buildings left by the Dutch, which have a strong urban charm of the Dutch period. Don’t miss the National History Museum and the century-old cafe BATAVIA, where you can taste authentic Indonesian food🍲🍹 and enjoy the riverside scenery leisurely. 🏞️ Independence Square 📍 Jakarta Center In the vast Independence Square, the monument to the national heroes towers into the sky, surrounded by musical fountains and galloping horse statues. The small train shuttle is a good place for family travel. 🚂👨👩👧👦 There are authentic food and drinks, there are performances to watch, it is a good place to sit in the square and understand the daily life of the locals. 🏺 National Museum of Indonesia 📍 Jl. Medan Merdeka Barat No.12 Also known as the "Elephant Museum", it has a rich collection of Indonesian cultural relics, including a large number of stone carvings, wood carvings, ornaments, and porcelain exhibits from China. It is very rich and worth a visit. 🐘🏺 ⛪ Jakarta Cathedral 📍 Jl. Katedral No.7B European Neo-Goethe architectural style, elegant and solemn. Weddings are often held here and witness romantic moments. 💒💑 Tips: Keep quiet in the church and do not disturb the worship service or ceremony. 🏮China Town 📍 Jl. Pancoran No.4 There are a lot of Chinese people and there are Chinese restaurants all over the place. You can hang out here, take photos, and experience the daily life of the locals. 🍜📸 Tips: Don’t forget to bargain and experience the fun of bargaining at the local market. 🕌 Istiqlal Mosque 📍 Jl. Taman Wijaya Kusuma The largest mosque in Southeast Asia, the large white dome can be seen in the distance. 🌙✨This mosque is known as the largest mosque in Southeast Asia and is indeed magnificent.
