He explained that the series of ADWI events had started two months ago and entered the assessment process. The judging stage to determine the top three was scheduled for June 2022.

"The judging will be carried out by a team from the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy by visiting Glodok Chinatown," he stated.

According to him, the reason for choosing the Glodok Chinatown as DWI is because it has a unique history with many ancient buildings and was the center of the economy for a long time ago.

Moreover, there are also places of worship in the area, namely Dharma Bakti Temple, Taosebio, Santa Maria de Fatima Catholic Church, Shin She traditional clinic, Panco, and Tea House which are hundreds of years old.

"To enter the top three, we are currently arranging the area," he conveyed.
