The area has been known as a Pecinan or Chinatown since the Dutch East India Company designated Glodok as a residential area for ethnic Chinese in November 1740, and is considered the biggest in Indonesia. The majority of the traders and residents of Glodok are of Chinese descent. Administratively, the area is a kelurahan under the Taman Sari district, West Jakarta. Toponymy edit The word Glodok came from the Sundanese word "Golodog" (Sundanese script: ᮌᮧᮜᮧᮓᮧᮌ᮪), meaning entrance to a house, as Sunda Kalapa (Jakarta) is the gateway to the ancient Sundanese Kingdom. It was also thought that the name came from the "grojok grojok" sound that water makes coming out of a waterspout in the yard of the Cityhall (Stadhuis), now the Jakarta Museum. A waterspout was built on this site in 1743 and was used for daily needs such as a watering hole for horses.[2] Early history edit In Batavia (now Jakarta), the Dutch East India Company created commercial opportunities which attracted immigrants from many areas of what is now Indonesia. This economic activity also lured thousands of Chinese people to Java. Swift immigration challenged the city's limited infrastructure and created burdens on the city. Tensions grew as the colonial government tried to restrict Chinese migration through deportations. Recent history edit On 9 October 1740, 5,000 Chinese were massacred and the following year, Chinese inhabitants were ghettoized in Glodok outside the city walls.[3] In 1998, Glodok was one of the major areas attacked during the May 1998 riots, primarily due to tensions between pribumi and Chinese Indonesians who lived there, who were accused of hoarding the nation's wealth. In 2006, practitioners of Falun Gong were reportedly "assaulted" during a meditation session. A Falun Gong representative suggested that the assailants were sent by the Chinese embassy, though a local news organization noted another possible motivation: that Falun Gong practitioners had been "disrupting business" by distributing pamphlets.[4] In this vide , I explore glodok , Indonesia's biggest China twon and one of the largest China twon in southeast Asia, You will see narrow Alleys, local shops , traditional market, herbal medicines store, temple Buddhist school, old coffee shops , street Vandors, museum, souvenirs shops, and local daily life, and we also walk through the history of Indonesia’s first China town, and I will share everything step by step The journey start from mangarai train station to Kota Tua, then into the heart of glodok. #chinatown #jakarta #vlog #glodok #explore :36
