Jakarta International Stadium (Indonesian: Stadion Internasional Jakarta) is a retractable roof football stadium in Tanjung Priok, Jakarta, Indonesia. It is the home ground of Persija Jakarta after moving from their current stadium, Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, and the occasional home of the Indonesia national football team, after an agreement between PSSI and PT JAKPRO to use the facility. The stadium has a seating capacity of 82,000 spectators, making it the largest stadium in Indonesia and largest football-specific stadium in Asia.Construction of the stadium was delayed due to land disputes and class-action lawsuits by former squatters whose homes were demolished to make way for the stadium. Construction of the stadium started in September 2019 and completed in April 2022. After numerous delays and preparations, the stadium opened for its grand opening on 24 July 2022.The stadium complex is built on 22 hectares of land and the stadium building itself is built on 375.7 m2 (4,044 sq ft). This stadium is the largest capacity retractable roof stadium in Asia and the second largest retractable roof stadium by capacity in the world, just behind AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Sea World Ancol

Sea World Ancol, also known as Sea World Jakarta or Sea World Indonesia, is a marine aquarium attraction in North Jakarta, Jakarta, Indonesia. It is part of the Ancol Dreamland complex, and consists of a main tank, a shark tank, and various other tanks, including a turtle exhibit. The main tank is one of the largest aquariums in Southeast Asia. Despite its name, it is completely unaffiliated with the US-based SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment and their chain of theme parks in the United States.Sea World Ancol was the largest oceanarium in South East Asia at the time it was opened, in 1996, as SeaWorld Jakarta. It was owned by Lippo Group until 2014, when contract problems caused it to be closed in September 2014. It reopened to the public on July 17, 2015. and is now owned by the Jakarta city-owned company PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol.It features an aquarium tunnel known as the Antasena tunnel as well as a touch pool and shark aquarium.The aquarium used to keep a couple of dugong named Doel and Diana since 2000, both died in 2016. In 2018, SeaWorld rescued a baby dugong that was caught by fishermen. After being treated intensively and being able to start eating seagrass, the baby dugong was able to be released back into its natural habitat. The dugong aquarium now houses sea turtles. Parni the giant stingray was the former icon of SeaWorld Ancol. Parni was caught by fishermen from Palabuhanratu, Sukabumi, West Java. The aquarium rescued Parni and placed in the main aquarium. Parni lived in SeaWorld for nine years until it died in 2008 due to old age. Parni's body was preserved and placed in the aquarium's museum.SeaWorld Ancol considered making a reptile exhibit called HerpetoZone and a Humboldt penguin exhibit, but were cancelled due to lack of funding and space. They also considered introducing the ocean sunfish and mahi-mahi to their main aquarium, but it was canned since these two species required large, open exhibits with no rocks nor reefs. A plan for a Raja Ampat Islands thematic exhibit that featured species such as the Indonesian speckled carpetshark was canned as well. The penguin exhibit plan was transferred to Ocean Dream Samudera in 2018, which they managed to build and open in 2019. Sea World drew controversy among Indonesian environmental activists when they were reported to be planning to bring in a whale shark from the water of Berau Regency, East Kalimantan to the main aquarium. There were worries that the whale shark would be stressed and eventually die when kept in the aquarium. Opposition to the reported plan was expressed via an online petition at Change.org. SeaWorld denied the whale shark plans, saying that the whale shark was not in the cooperation agreement with the Berau Regency government.In 2013, Sea World Jakarta acquired 10 scalloped hammerhead sharks from the Farglory Ocean Park in Taiwan, becoming the first and only public aquarium to keep the hammerhead shark in Indonesia. After a period of adjustment, six hammerhead sharks were displayed in the aquarium's shark tank in December 2013. As of 2022, no hammerhead sharks were on display.

Kemayoran Airport
Kemayoran Airport

Kemayoran Airport (IATA: JKT, ICAO: WIID) also spelled Kemajoran Airport, was the principal airport for Jakarta, Indonesia, from 8 July 1940 until 31 March 1985, when it was replaced by Soekarno–Hatta International Airport.During World War II it was used by the Royal Air Force and became RAF Kemajoran. They used it during the invasion by the Japanese. Starting operation in 1985, Soekarno-Hatta airport replaced Kemayoran airport in Central Jakarta and Halim Perdanakusuma airport in East Jakarta. Kemayoran Airport replaced Jakarta's first airport at Cililitan. What was Kemayoran Airport is now located in two subdistricts: the southern part is located in the Kemayoran Subdistrict, (Central Jakarta) and the northern part is in Pademangan Subdistrict, (North Jakarta). Douglas DC-8 jetliners flown by Garuda Indonesia, KLM, Japan Airlines, UTA French Airlines, Air Ceylon and Thai Airways operated to Kemayoran in the 1960s and early 1970s, as did Cathay Pacific Convair 880 jets. Paris-based Transports Aeriens Intercontinentaux formerly served Kemayoran with DC-8s prior to being merged into UTA. Garuda Indonesia also flew Convair 990 and Douglas DC-9 jets as well as Fokker F27 turboprops into the airport at this time. Boeing 707 jetliners operated by Air India, Malaysia-Singapore Airlines, Pan Am and Qantas served Kemayoran as well. In 1975, international flights were temporarily moved to Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base.Flight operations terminated on the night of 31 March 1985, and domestic flights were immediately transferred to Soekarno-Hatta Airport. The airport was briefly reactivated for the Indonesian Air Show in 1986. The location of the former airport has been a favorite subject in urban planning, on which the former runways have been converted into a wide boulevard, while the green areas around has been filled gradually into developments such as Jakarta International Exposition Center (JIExpo) and Kotabaru Kemayoran Bandar Kemayoran. Several expansion projects have been abandoned however, due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis like Jakarta Tower and Pallazo Apartement.The remains of the control tower and main terminal still stands south of the JIExpo site, with a portion of the airport tarmac remaining in front of the terminal, as is the terminal's forecourt. Plans were in consideration to convert the former main terminal into a government office; this plan was apparently abandoned after 2003, as construction progress has stopped. The current government office stands next to the terminal. The site of the former control tower was once set for a residential property, with the tower itself torn down, but due to the 1997–98 financial crisis, has been largely abandoned.
