Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta is one of the nicest places I have ever visited. It is a popular resort for peoples who like cultural and historical sites.
Yogyakarta is a small city but there are lots of different things to see. There are many temples in the province, such as Prambanan, Kalasan, and Sambisari. There are also two palaces that we must not miss, Hamengkubuwono and Paku Alam Palace.
Yogyakarta is a a tropical city. There are lots of palm trees and other tropical fruit trees. There are also beautiful beaches, such as Parangtritis, Krakal, Kukup, Glagah. It is not difficult to get the city at the day because taxis and buses are easily found.Unfortunately, there is no bus in the evening. The only way to see the nightlife of the city is by taxi, but it is rare at night.
I like Yogyakarta because it’s a beautiful and peaceful city. I’d like to visit again one day.

A Great Temple of Borobudur
Borobudur is a great Buddhist temple.
The temple is located in Magelang on the island of Java in Indonesia. Built in the 9th century under the Sailendra dynasty of Java. It was abandoned in the 11th century and partially excavated by archaeologists in the early 20 the century.
Influenced by the Gupta architecture of India, the temple is constructed on a hill 46 m (150 feet) high and consists of eight steplike stone terraces, one on top of the other. The first five terraces are square and surrounded by walls adorned with Buddhists sculpture in bas-relief; the upper three are circular, each with a circle of bell-shape stupas (buddhist Shrines) The entire edifice is crowned by a large stupa at the center of the top circle. The way to the summit extends through some 4.8 km ( some 3 miles) of passages and stirways. The design of Borobudur, a temple mountain symbolizing the structure of the unviverse, influenced temples built at Angkor, Cambodia. Borobudur was rededicated as an Indonesia national monument in 1983 following extensive reclamtion, aided by the United Nations
