Jackie Chan Hill

Jackie Chan Hill or Jackie Chan Village (Indonesian: Kampung Jackie Chan; formally: The Friendship Village of Indonesia-China) is a neighbourhood in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. It is named for Chinese actor Jackie Chan who, with other Hong Kong actors, helped fund the building of the community and purchase of the hill. Jackie Chan also campaigned with the Hong Kong Red Cross to raise additional relief funds that went to reconstruction of the site. Officially, the government does not allow villages to be named after individuals, hence the official name not bearing "Jackie Chan". The neighbourhood is built up on a hill, high enough to avoid being inundated by a tsunami, thus being safe from tsunamis. The village is a green field construction, where only treed hills and farmers' fields once stood.
