About Tangerang City

Tangerang is a rapidly growing satellite city of Jakarta in Banten province, home to over 2 million residents. While it lacks Jakarta\'s tourist attractions, Tangerang offers practical advantages for travelers: proximity to the airport, modern malls like AEON Mall and Summarecon Mall Serpong, and affordable hotels compared to central Jakarta.

The city has its own cultural offerings, including the old Chinese quarter of Pecinan with its traditional markets and Boen Tek Bio temple (built 1684). Tangerang Selatan (South Tangerang) hosts the upscale BSD City development and the ICE convention center. For food lovers, Tangerang is famous for laksa Tangerang and has a thriving street food scene along Jalan Kisamaun.
