Indonesia will welcome the leaders of fellow Asian countries with a captivating jungle scene of a two-story waterfall, chirping birds, wild orchids and even an orangutan in a tree.

A worker checks the plants used to decorate main lobby of Jakarta Convention Center, the venue for the Southeast Asian Nations Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia, Monday, Sept. 4, 2023. Indonesian President Joko Widodo will welcome fellow Asian and world leaders with a captivating jungle scene of a two-story waterfall, wild orchids and even an orangutan perched up a tree.

It’s a pleasant icebreaker for Widodo and his guests in Jakarta for a week of Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit talks starting Tuesday. The convention center’s lobby was off-limits to the public and a sign barred videos and pictures until the jungle spectacle is unveiled. Artificial is the only type of jungle that exists in Jakarta. The nearest jungle, home to endangered orangutans, is more than 1,300 kilometers away on Borneo island.
