Taman Literasi Martha Christina Tiahahu, located in Blok M, South Jakarta, has emerged as a popular tourist destination among locals during the 2025 New Year holiday. The Blok M area is bustling with visitors.
Visitors’ Choices and Experiences
-
Syifa’s Culinary Outing: Sixteen-year-old Syifa from Tangerang Selatan (Tangsel) visited the literacy park with her younger sibling and mother. For Syifa, Blok M was the go-to destination for enjoying culinary delights with family. She mentioned that they chose to explore the area for dining and leisure activities after getting tired of Ragunan Zoo.

Dinar’s Change of Plans: Twenty-two-year-old Dinar brought along her three nieces to relish a day out at Taman Literasi. Although they initially planned to visit the National Monument (Monas) in Central Jakarta, they scrapped the idea due to the overwhelming crowd. Dinar and her family opted to picnic on the lush green grass of Taman Literasi, enjoying homemade food while the children played around.
Reasons for Choosing Taman Literasi
- Avoiding Crowds: Dinar specifically selected Taman Literasi to steer clear of long queues and the congestion around the Hotel Indonesia Roundabout (Bundaran HI). She expressed reluctance to deal with the dense crowd in that area, hence finding solace in the quieter and free-of-charge literacy park.
Despite initial plans being thwarted by crowded tourist spots, visitors like Syifa and Dinar found joy in exploring Taman Literasi for its recreational facilities, culinary offerings, and the opportunity to unwind in a relatively peaceful environment.
