Borobudur_Chia Zhen Yan 1002831


Borobudur  is a famous Buddhist temple and located in Java, Indonesia, 8th and 9th centuries. The basic structure of this temple is divided into three tiers, which form in pyramidal style with five more on square terraces. The walls of the temple is decorated with unique relief and cover a big surface area in the temple.
What I do  if I go Borobudur? What also traveller do? Most traveller visit this temple is Buddhist. The temple is open to public from 6am to 5pm. Tourism can view the beautiful of sunshine of Borobudur. According to the research, they said that "Manohara Hotel (see Sleep) runs a daily Borobudur Sunrise Tour for Rp 320, 000 for foreigners and Rp 220, 000 for Indonesians, which gets you a flashlight and a lift up to temple gate at 4.30AM." In my opinion, for me this is the mostly purpose I go visit Borobudur, see the sunrise, explore the beautiful of the world.

Besides of sunrise, bicycling is also a healthy and beauty activities in the villages of Borobudur. The villages people is friendly and you can having a fantastic sport in bicycling. The villages are full of agriculture brings out natural. 

Furthermore, Elo River also can be your memory when you visit Borobudur. Just 10 minutes from Borobudur, sense the jungle and natural of flora and fauna. The waterfalls  and others let you have fantastic adventure.

In the research, I found that UNESCO is the biggest hero as they restore Borobudur. In 1975-1982, the project which they done include make the base structure steady, cleaning everything and installing drainage system. Finally, UNESCO
name Borobudur World Heritage Site in 1991 after they completed the renovation. This is the reason Borobudur become a famous temple in Indonesia and attract the tourism come visited.

Borobudur is full of mystery. That is a lot of question still haven't solved. According to research, said that how the condition around the temple was at the beginning of its foundation and why at the time of it's finding the temple was buried. Some people said this and some people said that make a mystery and greatness. 
In the conclusion, we also can visit villages such as Karanganyar and Wanurejo which are surrounding the Borobudur. You can go to the top of the Kendil stone where can enjoy the Borobudur and the surrounding sceney.
And I like to share a night scene of Borobudur with you and hope you like this place and enjoy.  Photo taken by Rollan Budi

  1. It is not necessary to share the beliefs of the people who create great monuments . These are the cultures of humans that we all share. Borobudur is a great experience no matter what you believe.
