Jakarta, Indonesia – Sky Deck View of Bundaran HI 4K Walking Tour

Hello everyone and welcome to Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. This time we will explore Jakarta starting from Grand Indonesia Mall towards the Hotel Indonesia roundabout or locally known as “Bundaran HI” The weather in Jakarta is around 30 degrees celsius during this filming with a bit of overcast.

This is considered as good weather in Jakarta, because normally the temperature can be very hot and humid. Jakarta is the largest city in Indonesia and also the capital city of Indonesia. Formerly known as “Batavia” – Jakarta is home to more than 12 million people.

The HI roundabout that we are about to see was built in 1960. The roundabout is named after its proximity to Hotel Indonesia. At the center of the roundabout, there is a statue called “Selamat Datang” meaning “The Welcome Statue”

The statue was built in 1962 to welcome the participant of Asian Games 1962. However, as time goes by, the statue marks as welcoming landmark for anyone visiting Indonesia. Now we are going to see the HI roundabout from the sky deck above the busway station.

Sometimes the sky deck is full of people and tourist and you have to queue onto the deck. Now we are going to see MH Thamrin Street from the other side of the deck.

Other than the sky deck we just visited, there is another sky deck on the southbound of the roundabout called Tosari sky deck. as we are walking southbound of Thamrin Street, we can see Hotel Indonesia Kempinski in the background. The original building is preserved as part of cultural heritage of Jakarta.

When visiting Jakarta, always keep in mind and watch out for traffic. The vehicles will not stop and prioritize pedestrian. This is the Tosari Busway Station. This station also has two sky decks like the previous station.

Both stations has entrance fee to get to the sky decks of IDR 3,500 (USD 23 cents) and you must pay with the flash / e-money card to tap to the entrance gate. This is the south sky deck of Tosari station. not bad is it?

and this is the north skydeck of the Tosari station. Less people but great view. now we are heading northbound to see the first mall in Indonesia:Sarinah. Sarinah was built in 1962 and inaugurated in 1966 by the late President Soekarno. It was named after President Soekarno’s caregiver when he was young.

In 2020, Sarinah was in major renovation and reopened to public and continues to embrace local artists and producers to bring Indonesia’s superior products to export market. Now we are heading to Jalan Sabang where there are dozens of local street vendors serving Indonesia’s culinary.

Jalan Sabang (Sabang street) is located one block east of Sarinah. This area serves Indonesian culinary such as Nasi Goreng and Chicken Satay. This is the place to taste the authentic Indonesian foods.
