China is the third largest supplier of tourists to Indonesia. Looking to maximize on that potential, the Indonesian government is working closely with travel agencies in China to develop and expand new and existing travel routes—to include Indonesian locales that offer something unique for travelers.
According to the Indonesia Tourism Bureau, tourists from China can be expected to reach over 2 million this year, while 1.79 million visited in 2015 after the implementation of visa waivers for travelers from China. This year in addition to exotic resort islands, Indonesia has opened up Anak Krakatu, an active volcanic mountain in the hopes of attracting more tourists from China. Unique travel routes that describe themes such as transplanting of coral reefs and hand-painting of UNESCO cultural heritage batik also beckon eager visitors.

Connecting the dots, another reason HongKongers despise mainlanders. "Hong Kong, or "Fragrant Harbor," is named for its incense trees [agarwood]. But illegal loggers, seeking the trees' prized resin, could wipe out the territory's last stocks — and with them, part of Hong Kong's history ......You can see where they've cut the wood as a test," says the conservationist. "They'll be back in a month to check and, if it's the right tree, they'll just chop it down and carry it across the border. Close to extinction in the mainland and internationally protected as a species, Hong Kong's dwindling stands of Aquilaria sinensis, commonly called the incense tree, have become a holy grail for smugglers [from Mainland China]."
