Borobudur Temple in Magelang

With the status of the largest Buddhist temple in the world, Borobudur is an influential world cultural heritage. The presence of thousands of relief panels scattered at all levels tells the story of human life at the time, along with the Buddha’s journey. Here you can see the unparalleled manifestations of human life in three levels: Kamadatsu, Rupadatsu, and Alpadatsu. Everything is covered in a very magnificent stone building architecture.

Borobudur’s tourist potential is not limited to temple buildings. However, there are also natural attractions that can be seen around it. One of them is Punthuk Setumbu. This area is one of the best spots to watch the sunrise against the backdrop of Mount Merapi Merbabu. From there, you can enjoy the beauty of the foggy Borobudur Temple. Punthuk Setumbu is located on a hill about 400 meters above sea level in the Menore Hill Cluster.

Prambanan Temple, Klaten

Prambanan Temple in Klaten, Central Java is drawing worldwide attention. Prambanan Temple, one of the cultural and tourism objects in southern Java, is often the place to shoot Hollywood movies. As Indonesia’s largest Hindu heritage, Prambanan Temple has many stories and myths to be kidnapped. If you stop by, the relief sculptures on the walls of the temple can explain everything. One of the most memorable stories is the love story between Bandung Bondwoso and Lara Djonggrang. To prove his love, Bandung Bondowoso agreed to Lara Djonggrang’s request to build 1000 temples overnight.

In the process of its development, it became clear that Prambanan Temple was not the only temple that stood in the area formerly known as the Kewu Plain. The ruins of Karen, Lumbung Temple, Bubrah Temple, and Seu Temple are very well maintained. Prambanan Temple is located on the side of the Yogyakarta-Solo motorway, making it easy to reach. For Yogyakarta residents, seeing Prambanan Temple from the bus window is a must-see ritual when entering and exiting Yogyakarta.

Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, Yogyakarta

It is undeniable that Keraton is one of the most popular historic sites in Yogyakarta. The building is very thick and has Javanese elements and a collection of historic buildings with luxurious, majestic and spacious architecture. Yogyakarta Palace is the official palace building of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat Sultanate, founded during the reign of Sultan Hamenkubuwono I. Previously, Keraton was the residence of the king and his relatives. However, Keraton’s functions have been transformed into tourist destinations, museums in the center of Javanese culture, and sultan dwellings.

Although it is an old building, it is in good condition and is always crowded with tourists. In addition to being a sultan and family dwelling, here you can learn how Javanese art and culture are preserved in the progress of the modern world. At Keraton Kasultanan Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, travelers can also see typical objects of the palace, which are unconditionally loyal courtiers to Yogyakarta Palace.

My Moon Palace in Medan

Located in Jalan Brigencatamso in Skalaja, My Moon Palace has always been a special attraction for tourists. Not surprisingly, this is where the Sultanate of Deli Sultan, under the command of the Sultan Maimun al-Rashid Percasa Aramsha, moved the wheel of its activities in the late 1800s. The impression when I first arrived at the gate was wow! You will feel it when you look at the entire building. Thick European buildings can be found in various parts of the palace, including windows and doors wide enough to order furniture. Not surprisingly, the Maimun Palace itself was designed directly by the Italian Pizza Land architect. So it’s really good to take a selfie here. With the yellow base color that occupies the entire building, you can feel the impression of Malay in My Moon Palace. But the most interesting thing here is that you can feel how the Islamic civilization entered the city of Medan. This can be seen from the curved shape of the roof, which resembles an upside-down boat commonly found in buildings in the Middle East.

If you often hear the story of Marin Kendang cursed by stones, there is a story of Manban Kayari at My Moon Palace. Puturi Hijau’s sister in the Kingdom of Delitua said she had turned into a cannon because she protected the palace from the invasion of King Aceh. Due to repeated attacks, the cannon, the incarnation of Manban Kayari, split into two. Now, some of the cannons are neatly stored in My Moon Palace.

Jambi Muaro Jambi Temple

I think Borobudur Temple is the largest group of temples in the world. So I think you should go to Muaro Jambi Temple, right? The area of Muaro Jambi Temple in the middle of Jambi Province is 12 square kilometers! It is no wonder that UNESCO has designated Muaro Jambi Temple as the largest group of temples in Southeast Asia. Muaro Jambi Temple has a lot of beauty and uniqueness. When you step on the entrance gate, you will be greeted by the ruins of about 80 temples and the ruins of ancient Buddhist settlements from the IX to XV centuries.

If you follow each corner of the Muaro Jambi Temple, you will get an ethnic impression. It is here that the development of the Buddha during the heyday of the Sri Vijaya Empire was concentrated hundreds of years ago. Just 30 minutes from the city of Jambi, Muaro Jambi Temple is located on the banks of the Batanhari River. Therefore, access to the temple complex itself can be reached by road or water.
