Jakarta - Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII)

Taman Mini Indonesia Indah or if we translate to english is Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park is a recreational area in east Jakarta, Indonesia.

(Siti Hartinah Soeharto)
Is the second Indonesia first Lady (Siti Hartinah Soeharto) who have idea to built Taman Mini Indonesia Indah at 28 August 1968, she's starting to discussion her idea with her organization, Yayasan Harapan Kita (YHK). In this first discussion they all agree to built a Taman Mini Indonesia Indah or we can say Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park, but not like now, they all just thinking to make a Little Indonesia Culture Park without museum, beautiful lake, hotel, restaurant and other facility.
