Bandung

Capital city of West Java, Indonesia

Bandung is the capital city of the West Java province of Indonesia. Located on the western highland of Java island, it has one of the coolest climates compared to other provincial capitals in Indonesia, situated 708 meters (2,323 feet) above sea level (the highest point being at an altitude of 892 meters (2,927 feet) in the north, and the lowest at 666 meters (2,185 feet) in the south), approximately 145 kilometres (90 miles) southeast of Jakarta. Bandung lies in a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains that provide a natural defense system, which was the primary reason for the Dutch East Indies government's plan to move the capital from Batavia (modern-day Jakarta) to Bandung.
