Description
:
This is recreation place in
Indonesia. Its placed in Jakarta, the
capital city of Indonesia. This place named is Taman Mini Indonesia Indah
(TMII) or "Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park". It has an area of
about 250 acres (1.0 km2). The park is a synopsis of Indonesian culture, with virtually all
aspects of daily life in Indonesia's 26 (in 1975) provinces encapsulated in separate
pavilions with the collections of Indonesian architecture, clothing, dances
and traditions are all depicted impeccably. Apart from that, there is a lake
with a miniature of the archipelago in the middle of it, cable cars, museums,
Keong Emas Imax cinema, a theater called the Theatre of My Homeland (Theater
Tanah Airku) and other recreational facilities which make TMII one of the
most popular tourist
destinations in the city.
Since each Indonesian province
maintains its own unique and distinct cultures, shelters, attire and dialects,
TMII built a model of each of the houses from Indonesian provinces. TMII
attempted not only to reconstruct the homes of the various provinces, but also
to create a realistic model of the environment and shelters of the various
people of Indonesia. The venues, which are situated around the main lake in a
similar fashion to the different islands of the Indonesian archipelago, are thematically
divided into six areas in respect to the main islands of Indonesia; Java, Sumatra,
Kalimantan
(Borneo),
Sulawesi,
the Lesser Sunda Islands, Maluku
and Papua. Each pavilions featured in typical vernacular
Indonesian architecture of each provinces.
Examples of Indonesian traditional vernacular houses are: Joglo and Omah Kudus Javanese
houses of Central Java and Yogyakarta
pavilion; Minang Rumah Gadang
of West Sumatra
pavilion; Malay houses of Jambi and Riau provinces; Torajan Tongkonan
and Bugis house of South Sulawesi pavilion; and Balinese
house compound with intricately carved Candi Bentar split gate and Kori Agung
gate. TMII has a lot of buildings
that can increase knowledge, such as museums, garden
birds, freshwater aquarium, custom
homes in every province and much
more.
My
Opinion :
Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) or
Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park is the most popular recreation place for me.
This is the beautiful place for us to recreation with family, or to increase
knowledge. TMII not only recreation place, because in this place, we can find
places that we used to learn, such as custom homes from every province in
Indonesia, or museums. The beautiful place that I love in TMII is Indonesian
archipelago. Indonesian archipelago is
a lake with
several islands in it. It is a picture of a
small-scale Indonesian archipelago.
The reason I chose TMII
as a recreation and a learning tool is that TMII could represent
regions that exist in Indonesia.
We do not need to come to areas in Indonesia that
far just to see how the cultures, and etc.
Therefore, TMII a
family recreation should be maintained and preserved.
