The Jakarta History Museum is one of the most visited museums because it has many historical sources about Jakarta itself, starting from the location and collections of colonial heritage collections. Especially by tourists from China, this must be supported through human resources, namely tour guides who are able to speak Mandarin so that communication activities can be carried out properly. The purpose of writing this Final Project is to show the importance of mastering the Mandarin language for guides at the Jakarta History Museum. Data was collected by direct observation and supporting literature studies. The results of the study concluded that it is very important to master Mandarin because many tourists who visit come from China.
