Jakarta – Standing tall, flanked by high-rise buildings in South Jakarta, there is a Mahogany tree that is already 120 years old. This tree has been a silent witness to Jakarta’s development.

Jakarta

Jakarta is the capital and largest city of Indonesia, located on the northwest coast of Java. Its history dates back to the 4th century as the port city of Sunda Kelapa, later renamed Batavia under Dutch colonial rule in the 17th century, before becoming Jakarta after Indonesian independence in 1945. Today, it is a bustling metropolis known for its diverse culture, historic old town (Kota Tua), and landmarks like the National Monument (Monas).
