Bandung is the capital of West Java province in Indonesia, the country's third largest city, and second largest metropolitan area in Indonesia with a population in excess of 2.4 million people.
Located 768 metres above sea level, and approximately 140 kilometers south east of Jakarta, Bandung has cooler temperatures year-round than most other Indonesian cities.
The city lies on a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. This topology provides a good natural defence system, which was the primary reason for the Dutch East Indies government's plan to move the colony capital from Batavia to Bandung.
