Borobudur is a world-famous thousand-year Buddhist monument with ten floors, representing the "ten places" of Mahayana Buddhism. It is as famous as the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal of India, the Angkor monument of Cambodia and the pyramids of Egypt. It is known as the five miracles of the ancient East. Detailed introduction will not be copied. We followed Grandpa Lai, a Chinese tour guide, who was appointed by Hyatt in Yogyakarta. Get up at 3:45 a.m. and come here to watch the sunrise. Unfortunately, it's cloudy and there's no golden light from the sun. The tour guide said that nowadays, air pollution and haze make it very rare to see the golden Buddha light shining in his eyes. He came here hundreds of times and only saw seven times. But we still saw the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests around him in the mist when the sun was rising. After sunrise, Grandpa Lai took us along the clockwise direction (this is the right-handed ritual of Buddhist pilgrimage to the Holy sites), and went from top to bottom layer by layer. On the way, when we met the place where there were stories, we stopped to talk. There are several explanations for Mahayana Buddhism "Ten Places". The tour guide introduces "from bottom to top are places of joy, dirt, light, flame resort, difficult resort, now, far-away place, immovable place, good wisdom, and Fayun land, respectively. After all, we are not religious. We do not strictly circle each floor, but listen attentively with respect, watch slowly, and make a complete circle in the tenth floor and the first floor with great joy. The most amazing thing about this temple is the innumerable beautiful sculptures and statues of Buddha. Sculpture tells the story of the good money boy most, because the king who built the temple actually regarded himself as the incarnation of the good money boy. In addition, there are many pagodas here. Apart from the top round pagoda, all the other small pagodas are bell-shaped, with holes and Buddha statues sitting inside. However, due to the accident that curious children once stuck their heads in Confucius to see Buddha statues, the government opened the shells of two small bell-shaped Buddhist pagodas so that people could see clearly the Buddha statues inside.

    4/5Excellent

    It is the largest famous Buddhist temple located in Central Java. This temple is a very interesting place to visit. You will be taken around Borobudur by a tour guide in a small group. He will explain the historical background and exemplary story behind its construction. It's amazing.

    "Four Relics of Ancient Oriental" 🛕 Borobudur in Central Java, Indonesia, is the world's largest single Buddhist temple building. I have been to the Great Wall of China for more than a thousand years. There are currently two places to go to "Angkor Wat Cambodia" and "Taj Mahal India". Haling said that the shock of Buddhism in Thailand has shocked me enough to say that in the big city or Sukhothai, but I really didn't expect to understand what the real shock was in front of Borobudur! The wall retains the exquisite wall carvings telling the story of Buddha. Going up one layer by layer will see Buddha and endless volcanoes and grasslands. I didn't expect the ancient civilization of mankind to be so majestic, it is really more shocking than the pictures seen in the textbook! Tickets are a bit expensive, but worth it! Almost a thousand Taiwan dollars and will send you a pair of straw shoes and bags, because you can't wear your shoes to rub the ground of the monument. Have the opportunity to really come, super recommended, very worth 😍 #Indonesia #Central Java #Borobudur #Borobudur

    I can’t help but to give 5/5 - such underrated place on earth! Best to come during sunrise as you can experience the sun Ray throughout Mount Merapi. Ticket quite expensive to be honest but truly worth experience once in a lifetime.
