Borobudur means 'temple on the hilltop' in Sanskrit It is the largest Buddhist architectural relic in the world It 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 Angkor Wat in Cambodia - Today, I set off from the hotel in Yogyakarta to Borobudur The journey takes about an hour Upon arrival, I got a number plate and waited in the waiting area When entering, they will check your backpack You can't bring food, but you can store it You can retrieve it with your number plate when you finish After entering, you will first change shoes and get a bottle of water Soft-soled straw shoes, quite comfortable, and you can take them away (probably to protect the relics In the waiting area, they will call numbers to assign different tour guides The guide will take you in, with explanations in English about the history (it's really hard to understand the rolled tongue English, just follow the group After a while, you can go up and do whatever you want, take pictures, check in, etc. From the highest point on the top of the mountain, you can see the mountains, it feels like you are at the center of the world You need to buy a separate ticket to reach the top But I directly joined a day tour group of Borobudur + Prambanan, which included it I stayed there for about an hour, and my arms were sunburned Everyone remember to do sun protection (it's a must, directly exposed to the sun, there is no shade
