Serene Chinese Benteng Settlement in Sewan Lebak Wangi, Tangerang

In 1407, a boat carrying a group of Chinese landed at the Cisadane River mouth. They first settled in Teluk Naga, then expanded inland to form communities in Pasar Lama and Pasar Baru, now known as Tangerang's Chinatown. In 1740, following ethnic riots in Batavia where 10,000 Chinese descendants perished, survivors fled to Tangerang, Cisoka, Mauk, and surrounding areas.
