Literally translating to “Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park”, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah presents all of Indonesia’s spiritual and cultural diversity in one convenient locale for anyone to savour and enjoy, be they proud Indonesian nationals or appreciative visitors to the country. This unique cultural park is best enjoyed out of the many serviced apartments Jakarta has to offer its business or leisure visitors. If you’re seeking prime serviced accommodation Jakarta features for tourists, the elegant interiors and world-class service of the Somerset Grand Citra Jakarta provide the perfect option. Visit the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah for an intriguing glimpse into the diversity that makes the country the stunning cultural locale that it is. Witness Indonesia’s multicultural 26 provinces meticulously replicated within 26 detailed pavilions featuring authentic Indonesian clothing, architecture, dances and folk traditions. The very middle of the park boasts a serene lake with a natural replica of the entire archipelago perched atop the waters. The park also features cable cars, various museums that provide snapshots into the various cities and historical elements of the country, and various theatres that run an intriguing mix of cultural performances and shows. The park was the brainchild of former first lady Siri Hartinah, also known as Tien Suharto, back in the 1970s, who wanted to cultivate more national pride in the hearts and minds of the people. A truly beautiful feature of the park comes in the form of the different religious faiths represented on the island, conveyed through replicas of a prominent Hindu temple, Catholic and Protestant Churches, a Mosque, and a Buddhist and Confucian temple, celebrating religious diversity on the archipelago.
