Kota Intan Bridge is one of the heritage objects in the old town area of Jakarta as determined by the Governor No. 457 in 1993 which Concerning on Heritage Buildings Determination in DKI Jakarta area.

Near the bridge, we can read a shart description about the history of this bridge. The description as you can read here:

Kota Intan Bridge was build ini 1628 by VOC, and thereafter underwent several name change. The first name was Engelse Brug (England Bridge) which given when it connects the Dutch Fort and England Fort. This bridge located at Kali Besar (Great River). After Banten and Mataram attacks on Batavia Castle in 1628 and 1629, the bridge was broken. It was rebuilt in 1630 by the Dutch and known as De Honder Pasarburg (Chicken Market Bridge) because itu close to the chickern market. Kota Intan was the last name it has. It is assumed that the name relates to its location which was close to one of Batavia caslte bastian named Bastian Diamant (Intan - Diamant - Diamond).
In April 1938 the bridge was reconstructed to a drawbridge so the boats can pass and to prefent flooding which often happened. The shape and style was not changed, but the name changed to Ophalsbrug Juliana or Juliana Bernhard. This drawbridge is the only remainder of the kind that Dutch Goverment had ever built.

Tomistoma Survey: Menyusuri Kapuas dan Leboyan

Danau Sentarum, adalah salah satu taman nasional Indonesia yang berlokasi di daerah perhuluan Sungai Kapuas, sungai terpanjang di Indonesia. Pertama kali saya melihat secara langsung salah satu danau terunik di dunia ini sekitar November 2015. Saat melihat secara langsung tersebut, terbersit cita-cita di benak saya untuk mengunjunginya. Allah Sang Maha Pendengar mengabulkan cita-cita saya tersebut, tidak berapa lama selang dari terbang di atas danau, saya berkesempatan membelah air danau sentarum dari atas speedboat bertenaga 30 pk. Berikut adalah cerita perjalanan tersebut. Pemandangan Danau Sentarum dari Bukit Tekenang Perjalanan dimulai dari Pontianak dengan anggota terdiri dari Imanul Huda, Hari Prayogo dan Janiarto Paradise. Kami berkumpul di pool Damri Pontianak.

Sisanya hanya sem...

Long House of Dipanimpan Bolong Nanga Nyabau, Heart of Borneo

The Nanga Nyabau Village Nanga Nyabau is one of the villages in Kapuas Hulu Regency, precisely in Embaloh Hulu district. It does’nt take a long time to visit this village from Putussibau*. Nanga Nyabau can be achieved in about 1 hour road trip. I have been to this village several times, but not with special intentions for traveling or backpacking. My arrival to this village was only to take my co-workers in the village of Nanga Lauk. Why go to Nanga Nyabau village? Its because the most plausible path to the village of Nanga Lauk is the river route starting from Nanga Nyabau downstream of the Palin River. After several visits, I learned that Nanga Nyabau Village has a betang house (long house) that has been designated as a cultural heritage object. While waiting for the boat pickup from Nanga Lauk, we visited the betang house in Nanga Lauk village on the advice of Rio. From where the car was parked, me, the nicke, elin, and aloy, walked across the suspension bridge that are very com...

Mie Ayam Keraton, Kemang

Saya sudah beberapa kali dengar tentang Kemang sebagai pusat kuliner Jakarta, hal ini langsung saya buktikan sendiri saat pertama kali datang ke Kemang. Kunjungan pertama saya adalah ke restoran Locarasa yang menyajikan resep-resep makanan bule dengan cita rasa Indonesia. Tapi kali ini saya tidak membahas tentang Lokarasa, kali ini saya ingin berbagi tentang kuliner kaki lima di sekitar kemang. Kuliner ini berada di pertigaaan jalan tidak jauh dari Favehotel Kemang (sekitar 25 meter). Di pojok kuliner ini terdapat beberapa gerobak makanan yang beranekaragam, ada yang menjual martabak manis, warteg, jus buah, kopi, dan mie ayam. Sebagai penggemar masakan mie, saya tergoda untuk merasai mie ayam di pojok kuliner kemang tersebut. Mie ayam keraton, demikian tag line yang tertulis di bagian depan gerobak tersebut. Nama yang menjanjikan, mungkin abang penjualnya punya resep mie ayam dari keraton. Setelah memesan, tidak butuh waktu lama bagi mas penjualnya untuk menghadirkan mie ayam kerat...
