Lovina Beach
Lovina Beach is located on the northern tip of Bali and is a favorite place for diving enthusiasts. Due to the long-term erosion of the volcanic rocks by the sea, a unique black sand beach is formed, which is also one of the quietest beaches in Bali. Going to Lovina to see dolphins is one of the must-have items. Rottweiler means "sea of honey" and was named by a chief of Singaraja. Lovina Beach is low-key and suitable for tourists who seek privacy. Its low decibel and slow rhythm are in sharp contrast to Kuta. Hundreds of dolphins live in this area of water, and at dawn, they go out to hunt in groups, forming a spectacular "Dolphin Legion" on the sea. Diving resorts For more professional diving enthusiasts, there are diving resorts that are better than other shores. You can also admire tropical fish and look for small corals in this area. For those who don't know how to dive, renting a boat to see corals in the sea at a depth of 500 to 600 meters is also a unique experience. More than ten meters deep in the sea, with coral reefs, you can feel the splendor of nature without being in the water.Indonesia · Bali
Lapangan Pancasila Simpang Lima Semarang
Lapangan Pancasila Simpang Lima Semarang is located in the heart of Semarang and serves as the intersection of five main roads: Pahlawan, Pandanaran, Ahmad Yani, Gajah Mada, and K.H. Ahmad Dahlan. The square was built in 1969 as a proposal by then-President Sukarno to replace the traditional city square in the old Kauman district, aiming to create a more open and representative municipal public space. This is a popular spot for locals in Semarang to gather on weekends and holidays. People often participate in Car Free Day in the early morning, cycling, walking, jogging, exercising, or meeting with family and friends. In the evening and at night, the area around the square is lined with vendors and food carts, and as the lights come on, the city atmosphere comes alive, making it a great place for sightseeing and trying local delicacies. Because of its accessible location, lively atmosphere, and free admission, Lapangan Pancasila Simpang Lima Semarang has become an important window into the local life and cultural pulse of Semarang.Indonesia · South Semarang

Parangtritis Beach
Parangtritis Beach, located 27 km south of Yogyakarta, is one of the city's most famous beaches. 1. Enjoy the afternoon The afternoon before sunset is a truly enchanting time at this beach. You can climb the Gembirawati Cliff behind the beach, where you can see a panoramic view of Parangtritis Beach and the southern sea stretching to the horizon. To the east of Gembirawati Cliff, you can find several temples. Unlike other temples in the mountains, Gembirawati Temple is only a few hundred meters from the edge of Parangtritis Beach. From this temple, you can hear the sound of waves crashing against the southern coast. 2. Fascinating legends The town of Parangtritis is closely linked to the legend of Ratu Kidul (Queen of the South). Many Javanese believe that Parangtritis is the gateway to the Queen of the South's kingdom, where she rules over the entire South Sea. Hotel Queen of the South is a resort named after this legend. Unfortunately, little remains of the original site, though it once possessed breathtaking beauty. 3. Romantic sunset When the sun shifts to the west and the weather is clear, it's time to have some fun. Although swimming is not permitted at Parangtritis Beach, there are plenty of other recreational activities available. If you are an adventure seeker, you can rent an ATV on the beach. These four-wheeled ATVs can even take you across the sand dunes. If you prefer something less adventurous, you can rent a horse-drawn carriage or a horse. Take a ride in a two-wheeled carriage along the wave-washed sand, basking in the sea breeze and sunshine. The carriage will take you to the eastern end of the coast, where you'll find unique rock formations—a popular spot for couples to take wedding photos. Sunlight shimmering on the water creates a truly romantic atmosphere. 4. Family fun Parangtritis Beach also offers fun family activities. Try flying a kite with your children; the favorable sea breeze makes it easy to get airborne, and even if you've never flown a kite before, it will soar high with the help of the wind. 5. After sunset If you're not ready to leave after sunset, don't worry. Soon, roasted corn vendors will spread out blankets on the beach, where you can continue to enjoy the night view. If you still don't want to leave near midnight, there are over a dozen affordable inns and guesthouses nearby.Indonesia · Kretek
Danau Buyun & Danau Tamblingan
Twin Lakes are formed by the accumulation of rainwater springs after the eruption and collapse of Bratan Volcano for thousands of years. There are special platforms and viewing platforms on the shore of the lake for tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery surrounded by green trees and mountains. It also provides a place for anglers to fish. As the scenery along the way, the Twin Lakes are definitely the best among them, and the transparent air reflects the color of the sky. In the evening, the mist in the mountains fell slowly, and it felt like a fairyland. If you are passing by, you can stop to take pictures. If you are on a special trip, unless you have enough time, it is not recommended.Indonesia · Bali
Plaosan Lor Temple
Plaosan Lor Temple, like the Prambanan temple complex, was built around the same time by the Rakai Pikatan dynasty. It blends Hindu and Buddhist religious symbolism and carvings. Two massive dwarapala temple guardian statues stand in front of each main temple. Note the main temple's unusual three-part design: a two-story, three-chamber structure with an artificial level above, and a stupa level rising to a larger central top. Each room houses an impressive stone Bodhisattva statue, placed on either side of an empty lotus pedestal, with beautifully carved dragon heads above many of the windows. North Plaosan Temple consists of two restored, identical main temples surrounded by nearly 126 small shrines and solid stupas, though most are now just piles of rubble. South Plaosan Temple features many stupas and the ruins of a temple, but restoration work does not appear to have begun there yet.Indonesia · Prambanan

Mount Merapi
Mount Merapi is one of the most active active volcanoes in the world. It towers into the sky at 2,911 meters above sea level and overlooks Yogyakarta, Borobudur and Prambanan. The massive volcano is a huge and disturbing threat to thousands of people nearby. The volcano has erupted dozens of times over the past century, most recently in 2006. The eruption of Mount Merapi brought endless disasters to Yogyakarta. Borobudur and Prambanan were not destroyed by man-made damage or erosion of the years, but were swallowed by the volcano. However, frequent volcanic eruptions did not stop people from continuing to live in the mountains. The population density here is 690 people per square kilometer, and there are hundreds of small towns on Mount Merapi. Among them, the small town of Kaliurang is a settlement close to Mount Merapi. Several hotels in the town organize volcano tours. Some shop owners know the volcano well, and some have terraces with mountain views.Indonesia · Selo

If you are traveling independently, this ticket is very cost-effective. After buying the ticket, the staff will add your WeChat to communicate with you, but they are from Indonesia and other places. We booked a hotel near the meeting point, which is very convenient. It takes a long time to wait for people on the way. The boat driver is very experienced and well-received. When you arrive at the meeting point in the early morning, the boat driver will find you with a paper with your name on it.

At the entrance stood the sculptures of the first president and vice president of Indonesia. In the center of the museum park was a large square lawn with a white monument standing in front. It was surrounded by flowers, trees, and sculptures of Indonesia's founding heroes. The tour guide was telling the children historical stories, and I translated for them if they didn't understand. A large group of children in red school uniforms also came, and the teacher took them to receive patriotic education.

The afternoon before sunset is the best time to visit this most famous beach in Yogyakarta. But if you arrive earlier, it never hurts to go up to the Gembirawati Cliff behind this beach. From there we can see the entire area of Parangtritis Beach, the southern sea, to the horizon.

Lake Buyan actually has a hidden beauty. Even though most tourists only know Lake Beratan, actually the mountainous tourist area of Bedugul does not only have that one lake.

Probably a hidden tourist attraction. The admission fee is cheaper than other popular temples. There are few people, so it is recommended for those who want to explore quietly and leisurely.

the location of the mosque with a souvenir and culinary center, usually local tourists like to stop by here to buy souvenirs or just to relax and be hungry. the conditions in the mosque are very comfortable and guaranteed not only cleanliness, it is hoped that only staff who maintain cleanliness but visitors can also take part in maintaining the cleanliness of the mosque. There is also a clean and fragrant mukenah inside for visitors who don't bring a mukenah.
