Thousand Temples of Jogja 🏛️🏛️🏛️
Candi Sewu, located near Prambanan Temple in Yogyakarta, offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient Javanese Buddhist architecture. Although located close to one another, this temple differs from Candi Prambanan in that Candi Sewu is a Buddhist temple whereas Candi Prambanan is a Hindu Temple. I explored this temple as part of my visit to the entire Prambanan Temple Complex.
Candi Sewu apparently translates to "Thousand Temples" in Javanese but there aren’t a thousand temples here. Nonetheless, the over a hundred temples on display is still a magnificent sight and my camera just kept clicking as there were Instagram worthy photo compositions at every corner.
The temples are decorated with intricate stone carvings and topped with ornate stupas. Rebuilding efforts are probably in progress as we saw wooden scaffolding around 1 of the smaller temples near the entrance. How grand it must be if all of the temples were successfully rebuilt!
While not as famous as its neighbor, Prambanan, Candi Sewu holds its own charm and provides a serene escape from the crowds. When we were there, there were less than 10 visitors exploring this temple with us! Don’t miss this place when you are visiting Prambanan Temple Complex!

To me, Hong Kong is a city that has so much to offer - culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to visit Ocean Park, Happy Valley during a horse racing night, eat traditional dim sum at Lin Heung Tea House and...so much more!

Temple
Great temple! The distance between Prambanan Temple and Sewu Temple around 800 meters. Candi Sewu is the second largest Buddhist temple complex in Indonesia; Borobudur is the largest. #passionpassport

9th Century Hindu temple
It's A UNESCO site, very busy so get there at dawn (around 6AM). This ancient monument has stood on this ground for centuries, been shattered by earth quakes and reassembled. Still the faithful come to pray. It is a smaller version of Borobudur but ver very well maintained. the whole area is kept clean and the temple structure is still strong with carvings of Buddhist history in excellent condition. Imagine this temple is built in the 9 century!!
Must see place, especially if you are lucky to be there when not crowded in nice weather with very nice scenery with volcanos behind. Very good condition considering age and earthquakes it suffered.
