Indonesia's silver products can be divided into two categories, one is an ornament made of pure silver or silver alloy that we are familiar with, and the other is a slender silver wire welded according to the pattern design. His works are exquisite, delicate and graceful. There are many shapes of silver handicrafts, including some small and exquisite flower-shaped silver brooches and silver earrings, which are beautiful and easy to carry, and often become the first choice for tourists.
Badi cloth is a kind of batik printed cloth, which is characterized by printing colorful patterns on the cloth, including geometric patterns, various flower and bird patterns, symmetrical patterns and asymmetrical patterns. Its colors are mainly black, red and yellow, bright and lively, and some are mainly blue, brown and white, which is dignified and deep. This kind of fabric is not only deeply loved by the Indonesian people, but also has a long-standing reputation in the world. The long-sleeved men's shirts and women's sand cages made of it are designated as Indonesian national clothes, which are suitable for various formal and informal occasions.
Visitors should pay attention to the manufacturing process when buying Bati cloth. Printed batibu is drawn by traditional hand, with fine workmanship and artistic value, but it is generally expensive because of time-consuming and laborious. Mechanical Badibu, because of its high output, relatively cheap price and more economic benefits, is not as good as handmade products in artistic value.
Indonesian woodcarving, especially Balinese woodcarving, is well-known at home and abroad, and almost all foreign guests who travel to Indonesia will not buy one or two Balinese woodcarving as souvenirs. Balinese woodcarving is a traditional handicraft, which was originally closely related to the religious beliefs of Balinese people.
People carve Hindu gods they worship with stones or wood and worship them in temples, courtyards and halls. Later, it was passed down from generation to generation, resulting in countless skilled craftsmen. Most of the wood carvings in Bali are carved from ebony and teak, with hard texture and fine patterns. Their shapes are varied, including lifelike animals such as condors, bulls, lions, bulls and various birds, lifelike Balinese fishermen and girls, legendary figures in folk stories and various abstract artistic images in contemporary times. Indonesia's native products are famous all over the world. The first thing that comes to mind is Indonesia's printed cloth (Badibu), which is exquisite and gorgeous, showing Indonesia's characteristics. This is 12 century technology from the royal family of Indonesia. Through batik, animals and portraits are arranged in geometric shapes, and the colors are traditional blue and brown.
Secondly, there are many kinds of handicrafts in Indonesia, which are full of southern flavor. Among them, Grice's daggers, wood carvings, puppets in shadow play, puppets in puppet shows, banyan canes and silver products are the most valuable collections.
Indonesia produces all kinds of spices, and the taste of various afternoon spices, coupled with spicy, has become the characteristic of Indonesian cuisine. Satay is the most typical dish in Indonesia. Authentic Indonesian Satay is made by cutting cattle, sheep or chicken into square slices, pickling with spices such as red onion, pepper, sugar and sour fruit for two hours, and then baking. It's fun to drink a glass of cold Indonesian beer and eat a bunch of satay. "More ice" is a unique dessert. It's a unique taste in Indonesia. It uses mung bean powder to make pudding-like vegetable jelly, which contains crystals, coconut pulp and Java sugar.
Java coffee is also worth tasting, mainly because Indonesians drink differently. In Indonesia, hot coffee is not drunk, and it is the best coffee after a little cooling. As early as the Batavia era, Jakarta was an important coastal town. At that time, Dutch colonists used artificial canals as urban drainage systems, which was also an important transportation hub. A boat with about 10 passengers was the most commonly used means of transportation at that time. People live on this boat every day. Jakarta at that time was called Venice of the East by the western world.
With the development of the times, there are more and more roads, such as expressway and bus lanes. Indonesia, the largest city in China, has rarely seen such means of transportation, replaced by modern means of transportation such as cars and motorcycles. In the past, it was called "Venice of the East", but now it has become the past, and people seem to have completely forgotten the traditional customs of the past.
However, there are still some areas in Jakarta, such as Sunter, Ancol and Tj.Priok, and this traditional transport boat can still be seen today, but this public transport boat no longer shoulders the main traffic function, but has become a ferry to send people across the river. Some old people living in the old days still recall the customs of old Jakarta from time to time and can't help sighing.
In fact, as long as the canal running through the city is cleaned up, such local traditional customs will still be preserved in the era of rapid development and become one of Jakarta's characteristic attractions to attract tourists. Just like Thailand's "water market" is one of the must-see spots for tourists from all over the world to travel to Thailand.
