Lies in the same province of Borobudur temple, Prambanan is another magnificent temple the you can visit when you are in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

The admission ticket to this temple is quite cheap for local (IDR.48,000), while international tourist should pay IDR.348,000 (around US$.24). #temple #culture #indonesia

9th Century Architectural Marvel

My visit to Borobudur Temple in Central Java, Indonesia was eye opening. Located about 1 hours drive to Yogyakarta, it was akin to stepping into a world of ancient wonders. If you have been there, you would agree that this massive temple, built over 1,000 years ago, is truly a breathtaking architectural marvel. And beyond just being a pretty sight, the rich cultural heritage and history makes this a must see for anyone visiting the Yogyakarta region. Currently (as of March 2024), we can now have full access to the temple structure but there is a daily limit of 1,200 visitors. I highly recommend getting the Temple Guided Tour ticket from Trip.com, as opposed to the Borobudur Temple Tickets, as having a guide that explains a brief history of the temple, the carvings on the wall, the religious context etc makes a world of difference. Having made you way there, wouldn’t you want to also go up the temple structure (up the the 9th level)? Also, you get a free pair of sandals when you join the full tour! #WinHKFlight #winhkflight I want to travel to Hong Kong to experience its vibrant city life, delicious cuisine, and breathtaking skyline. From bustling markets to the multitude of shopping malls, Hong Kong offers a perfect blend of culture, history, and modernity that I can't wait to explore.

Captivated by the Ancient Architecture

Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple in the world, located on the island of Central Java. This temple was built in the ninth century AD. At that time, Indonesia was still a Buddhist kingdom (Syailendra dynasty). The temple was built to serve as a place of worship for Buddhists. Seen from above, Borobudur looks like a large Mandala, representing the human journey from reincarnation (samsara) to nirvana (nirvana). The Borobudur Temple has 9 floors (6 square terraces and 3 circular terraces). This terraced world is divided into three levels: Kamadhatu (the lowest is the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the middle is the real world) and Arupadhatu (the circular platform is the world of spirit). The platform of Borobudur Temple is higher and smaller. There are also four staircases in four sections (east, south, west, north). Borobudur consists of 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. There is a main pagoda in the highest upper part, surrounded by 72 pagodas #celebratewithtrip #indonesia #urbanexplorer

If Jakarta is the financial and industrial center of Java, then Yogyakarta is the soul of Java, the center of Java's artistic and cultural heritage. Therefore, for 11 consecutive hours of running fatigue, it disappeared invisible at the moment of landing in Yogyakarta. Mysterious Java, I am finally here. The Prambanan temple complex built in the 10th century is the largest Shiva complex in Indonesia. Six temples rise in the middle of the Concentric Square: three of the main temples are decorated with reliefs of the Ramayana epic, dedicated to the three Hindu gods (Shiva, Vishnu and Rama); The temple was built to protect the animals of the gods. The Prambanan temple complex is the largest and most beautiful Hindu temple in Indonesia today and is the carrier of the splendid culture of Indonesian ancestors. Most of the Pranbanan temple complex has been reduced to a pile of rubble, but after the vicissitudes of natural and man-made disasters, some of the major temples have been rebuilt under the efforts of people, and they have revived the past.
