Borobudur, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, one of the seven wonders of the world

#2月好去地方2025 The thousand-year-old Candi Borobudur is the most important world cultural heritage site in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. With its unique stepped pyramid structure, it symbolizes the Buddhist cosmology. From the bottom desire realm to the top formless realm, it represents the process of practitioners reaching nirvana from the mundane world. It is known as one of the seven wonders of the world. It takes about an hour to drive from Yogyakarta to Borobudur. The ticket price is 50,000 Indonesian rupiah and 75,000 Indonesian rupiah to the top (an appointment for a guided tour is required). You need to change into bamboo straw sandals to enter the site, which you can take home after the visit. Borobudur is a seven-story pagoda with corridors on each floor. Various Buddhist stories and events such as the Buddha's enlightenment are carved into reliefs, which appear lifelike upon closer inspection. The most interesting thing to see are the 72 stupas on the top floor. There is a Buddha statue enshrined inside each stupa, and a huge main pagoda stands in the center, which is quite spectacular for taking pictures. #IndonesiaTravel #Yogyakarta #Borobudur
