Jakarta is the largest city in Indonesia, as well as its current capital. Plans are underway to create a new capital on the island of Borneo, but this will take years to complete. In the interim, Jakarta remains bustling, noisy, and full of life. It is a modern city, but retains the charm of colonial times. The city’s focal point is Independence Square, with its large monumental tower. The largest mosque in Southeast Asia is located here, capable of hosting 120,000 worshippers. The ‘old town’ of Fattahillah is full of colonial Dutch architecture. The second side of the map is a detailed portrayal of the western half of the island of Java, with insets of Bandung, Cirebon, and of the Dieng Plateau. Java is the most populous part of Indonesia, and best explored by train. One gains a very favourable impression of just how dynamic this nation is becoming by exploring the hinterland. Indonesia is fast becoming one of the economic powerhouses of Asia, and its importance cannot be overstated.
