You really don't know what is this? It is Monas, the National Monument of Indonesia. And of course it is located exactly in the Centre of Jakarta. Monas designer itself was a person from France. With a pure 32 Kg Gold of fire symbol on the top, Monas became a very famous Monument in Indonesia. The other unique thing is we can go inside the monument. It is totally not only a visual Monument, but once you entrance, you will see a lot of Indonesian Art such as Paintings, Batiks, Wayang, and many other thing that you can assume this as a Museum.
The inside part itself could reach the very top of the Monument. But don't wish you could touch the pure gold material. Because there are a lot of requirement to go there. We ourself haven't even go to the top. But well, the Museum is splendid though.
The other unique thing is also that Monas will glow at night. It will change colour into Pink, Purple, Blue, Green, and Yellow. And not only that thing, but also there are a lot of festival at night. Not a very good festival, but it is a traditional part of Indonesian Activity. They will offer you an Outdoor Theatre, a Traditional Dance show, Phantonim, Attraction, and so many things. You can also buy traditional food there or even souvenirs. There are somehow bicycle rent if you want to. It is absolutely crowded at night.
For me, it is better to go there at noon. So you can visit the Museum and after you could enjoy a little bit of the crowded traditional sensation. And becarefull if you lost, because it is a very wide place.

Remember what they say, "If you haven't visit Monas, then you haven't visit Jakarta".
Enjoy!
