Jakarta's Chinatown "Glodok"
Glodok (Chinese: 裹踱刻) is an administrative village of Taman Sari, West Jakarta, Indonesia. The area is also known as Pecinan or Chinatown since the Dutch colonial era, and is considered the biggest in Indonesia. Majority of the traders and residents of Glodok are Chinese descent. The area dates back to colonial times when in November 1740, Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) designated Glodok as a residential area for ethnic Chinese. Administratively, the area is a kelurahan under the Taman Sari subdistrict, West Jakarta.On 9 October 1740, 5,000 Chinese were massacred and the following year, Chinese inhabitants were ghettoized in Glodok outside the city walls. In 1998, Glodok was badly scarred during rioting. Because some "Pribumi" Indonesians accused Chinese Indonesians of hoarding the nation's wealth, and because of the large concentration of Chinese Indonesians residing there, Glodok also suffered severe violence during the Jakarta Riots of May 1998. 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. As for shopping centre, most of the vendors in Glodok are Chinese Indonesian. Glodok is the biggest Chinatown area in Indonesia, and one of the biggest Chinatowns in the world. China town covers three main areas, namely Gang Gloria (Gloria alley), Jalan Pancoran and Petak Sembilan. The Chinese came to Jakarta since the 17th century as traders and labourers. Most of them came from Fujian and Guangdong provinces in southern China. Centred on Pintu Besar Selatan Road, it has become a commercial hub for the relatively prosperous Chinese community. Assimilation between Chinese and pribumi made a language known as Betawi language.Chinese New Year celebrations and Cap Go Meh celebrations held in the area is attraction. The area is now a spot to buy Chinese food, traditional Chinese medicine and cheap electronic goods.
雅加達的唐人街“裹踱刻”
裹逢刻是印度尼西亞西雅加達Taman Sari的行政村。自荷蘭殖民時代以來，該地區也被稱為Pecinan或唐人街，被認為是印度尼西亞最大的地區。 裹逢刻的大多數貿易商和居民都是中國血統。該地區可追溯到1740年11月殖民時期，荷屬東印度群島公司（VOC）將格羅多克指定為華人居住區。在行政方面，該地區是西雅加達Taman Sari分區下的一個行政村。1740年10月9日，5000名中國人被屠殺，次年，中國居民在城牆外的裹逢刻被隔離。 1998年，格洛多克在騷亂期間傷痕累累。由於一些“Pribumi”印度尼西亞人指責印度尼西亞華人囤積國家的財富，而且由於居住在那裡的印度尼西亞人大量集中，裹逢刻在1998年5月的雅加達騷亂期間也遭受了嚴重的暴力。據報導，2006年法輪功學員據說“在冥想期間受到攻擊。一名法輪功代表建議襲擊者是由中國大使館派遣的，雖然當地一家新聞機構注意到另一個可能的動機：法輪功學員通過分發小冊子“破壞了生意”。至於購物中心，裹逢刻的大多數供應商都是中國印尼人。 Glodok是印度尼西亞最大的唐人街地區，也是世界上最大的唐人街之一。中國城鎮包括三個主要區域，即Gang Gloria（Gloria alley），Jalan Pancoran和Petak Sembilan。自17世紀以來，中國人作為貿易商和勞工來到雅加達。他們大多數來自中國南方的福建和廣東省。它位於Pintu Besar Selatan Road，已成為相對繁榮的華人社區的商業中心。中國人和pribumi之間的同化使得一種語言被稱為Betawi語言。在該地區舉行的中國新年慶祝活動和十五暝慶祝活動是吸引人的。該地區現在是購買中國食品，中藥和廉價電子產品的地方。
