Another famous tourist destination in Jakarta is Taman Mini Indonesia Indah. It is located in East Jakarta.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taman Mini "Indonesia Indah" (
TMII) (English:
"Beautiful Indonesia" Miniature Park) is a culture-based
recreational area located in
East Jakarta,
Indonesia. It is operated by Yayasan Harapan Kita, a foundation established by
Siti Hartinah, the first lady during most of the
New Order and wife of
Suharto, and still run by Suharto's descendants since his death.
It has an area of about 100 hectares (250 acres). The park is a synopsis of
Indonesian culture, with virtually all aspects of daily life in Indonesia's 26 (in 1975)
provinces encapsulated in separate pavilions with the collections of
rumah adat as the example of
Indonesian vernacular architecture,
clothing,
dances and
traditions are all depicted impeccably.
Apart from that, there is a lake with a miniature of the archipelago in the middle of it, cable cars, museums, Keong Emas Imax cinema, a theater called the Theatre of My Homeland (
Theater Tanah Airku) and other recreational facilities which make TMII one of the most popular
tourist destinations in the city.
