First Time in Bekasi, Indonesia: Welcome to Kota Patriot!

Join my first visit to Bekasi, Indonesia, known as 'Kota Patriot'. Explore via local taxi, try Indonesian street food, visit Summarecon Mall and Bekasi Train Station, even in rainy season. Bekasi is a city in West Java Province, Indonesia. Its name derives from Bagasasi, meaning the same as Candrabaga in the Tugu Inscription from the Tarumanegara Kingdom era—the river passing through the city. In 2021, Bekasi had 2,464,719 residents. It's part of Greater Jakarta, Indonesia's most populous satellite city, developing as an urban residential and industrial hub.
