Borobudur Temple

Borobudur Temple

Borobudur temple is one of the most beautiful tourist resorts in Indonesia. It is situated in central Java. Borobudur temple is one of the seven wonders of the world which needs to be preserved its circumstances. The people all over the world know that Borobudur is one of the greatest art works that ever known since long time ago.
          Borobudur temple was built by Syailendra Dynasty during the eighth century. It needed more than two million river stones. It is the biggest temple in the world.
      After going into some restorations, Borobudur is visited by more and more tourists, both domestic and foreign tourists. Most of them admire Borobudur temple because of its beauty, its elegance and the story of the relief on its walls.
          Domestic tourists usually go there by bus or private cars, while foreign tourists like to join travel bureau because they don’t need to think of the transportation, accommodation, and itinerary. There are some money changers around the location. It makes them easier to change their money. But some of them like to bring credit cards and checks.

My family and I have actually been to Borobudur a number of times, but for a long time, in 2007 and 2010. Of course there have been many changes and improvements here and there. What is clear, now the location of the car park is placed far outside the temple building complex. After parking the car, visitors are directed by the road to the drinking and eating area for visitors. Here the traders invade visitors to offer food and drinks, which they say should not be sold in the temple area. There are many traders who sell hats because according to them the temple area is quite hot in the scorching sun. Some even rent out umbrellas. Before entering the park area, visitors must buy an entrance ticket such as an electronic train ticket. The ticket will later be put into a pit so that the entrance iron is open. The park around Borobudur Temple was quite extensive. In this park visitors can ride an elephant or horse as a distraction, of course by paying. After passing through the park, visitors climb the stairs to get to the foot of the temple.
