A new walking tour offers visitors a glimpse of China's influence in Indonesia dating back to the 15th century. The tour covers everything from historical buildings, ancient temples to traditional Chinese food.

Jakarta Good Guide takes tourists around the city, exploring small alleyways and forgotten areas of the city. Their most popular tour is of Chinatown, an area where there are traditional Chinese-styled houses standing next to modern buildings.

"This is Chinatown," said Cindy Tan, a local tour guide. "When people think about it they think it's just a place or a market. But this place safeguards a very important and long history of Jakarta. As Chinese, we've been here for ages, but nobody realizes that."
