It's been three days and nights, and I'm still amazed. I can't close my mouth.

Borobudur, one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world, is known as one of the four ancient wonders of the East, along with the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India, and the Mogao Caves in Cambodia. The stupa was once buried by volcanic ash and later excavated, and it still stands today. It takes about an hour to visit Borobudur, and it is recommended to wear the local grass shoes to the top as a sign of respect. 🚗 Transportation and accommodation: We chose to stay near Malioboro Street in Yogyakarta. The cost of a car for five people is about CNY 200-300. The car picks you up at 7:00 am, and it takes about an hour to get to the attraction. 📌 Tips: The climate in Yogyakarta is very hot, so it is recommended to book the first visit in the morning to avoid the scorching sun. It takes about 10-11 hours from queuing to the end of the tour. ⛰️ Things to do: You need to make a reservation in advance to climb to the top of Borobudur. The ticket includes an entrance ticket, a ticket to the top, grass shoes, and an English-speaking guide. We booked a time slot at 8:30 am. Although the temperature in Yogyakarta is very high, it is recommended to visit the top in the morning. The price of the ticket to the top is about IDR 445,000 (about CNY 210). If you like taking photos, be sure to take photos as soon as possible and try to follow the guide's pace to learn more about the history of the stupa. Starting from the base of the stupa, you can reach the top along the stairs and corridors, symbolizing the passage through the three realms: the realm of desire, the realm of form, and the realm of formlessness. The base of the stupa represents the realm of desire, the five-story body of the stupa represents the realm of form, and the three-story circular top and the main circular stupa represent the realm of formlessness. The intricate decorations of the realm of form evolve into unadorned circles in the realm of formlessness, symbolizing the transition from the realm of form, which is obsessed with form and appearance, to the realm of formlessness. 📌 Travel tips: The temperature in Yogyakarta is very high, so it is recommended to book the first visit in the morning to avoid the scorching sun. It takes about 10-11 hours from queuing to the end of the tour.
