Bandung (Indonesian: Kota Bandung) (Dutch: Bandoeng) is the capital of West Java province in Indonesia and the country's third largest city by population, with a population of over 2½ million in the city itself, while its sprawling metropolitan area had a population of 8.6 million in 2011. The city lies on a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. The Dutch colonials first established tea plantations around the mountains in the eighteenth century, and a road was constructed to connect the plantation area to the capital Jakarta (Dutch: Batavia), 180 kilometres (112 miles) to the northwest. Since Indonesia initially declared independence in 1945, the city has experienced rapid development and urbanisation, transforming Bandung from an idyllic town into a living space for over 2.5 million people.
