Yogyakarta Must visit! Prombanan temple
In the central part of Indonesia on the south side of Central Java, there is the special region of Yogyakarta, full of Indonesia history and special monuments to see.
Prombanan Temple is one of my favourite,
The temple offer similar place to pray different kind of Buddha presents in multiple cultures .
Getting There - best transportation is to rent a car or scooter in Yogyakarta, transportations seems limited
Attractions - Temples, beautiful landscape and nature, with waterfalls and beautiful beaches around.
Food & Restaurants -
local restaurant are the best, also Thai food is well made.

PLAOSAN TEMPLE
Plaosan Temple is clear evidence that the power of love is able to unite the barriers of difference. This beautiful temple was built by Rakai Pikatan who is Hindu for his beloved consort Pramodyawardani who embraced Buddha. Visiting Plaosan not only teaches you about the power of love but also the true meaning of tolerance. Difference is not a reason to eliminate the love that has grown. But it is love that should be a tool to unite differences. Maybe that's what Rakai Pikatan held fast to, until he finally decided to build a beautiful building, Plaosan Temple, for his wife whom he loved very much, Pramodyawardani. In fact, Rakai Pikatan who came from the Syailendra dynasty was a Hindu. But because of his love for his wife who incidentally is a Buddhist, he also made a place of worship in the form of a Buddhist temple with a little touch of Hindu architecture. Based on existing historical records, the Plaosan Temple Complex was built in the mid-9th century. The temple complex is divided into two parts, namely Plaosan Lor Temple and Plaosan Kidul Temple. Both temples have a rectangular terrace surrounded by walls where meditation is in the form of a substation in the west and a stupa on the other. Because of these similarities, Plaosan Temple is often referred to as a twin temple. Each group of temples has a fairly large yard and is covered with green grass. Birds also often perch on the grass, then fly away and return to the roof of the temple. From the relief sculptures between the two main temples, you can see how the feeling of love is interpreted. The relief of the southern main temple depicting the Kono man is a form of Pramodyawardani's admiration for her husband. While the reliefs in the northern temple depicting women are considered as an overflow of Rakai Pikatan's love for his wife.

Small and Elegant Temple Plaosan
This temple is a bit far from the others and I was the only person at the place when I visited.
As another reviewer has said, if this temple was in another city or country, there would be tens of thousands of visitors. Other major temples have shaded this one. Btw. it is still being restored (I guess the earthquake ruined some parts of it)
I found it very beautiful and peaceful. The entrance fee is cheap but you definitely need a Taxi.
Since it is a bit farther than Prambanan, perhaps you can use the same Taxi to visit Prambanan and Plaosan.
The compound is clean and nowhere trash to see. It's very sad to see that more than three Buddha statues were cut and stolen.

The Love Temple: Plaosan Temple 🩷🇮🇩
Besides Prambanan Temple, there are another temple that becomes one of the most famous Temples in Yogyakarta, it named Candi Plaosan or Plaosan Temple. This temple is located in Prambanan District Area. So, if you come to Prambanan, don’t forget to going to this place too. It’s about 1KM from the Prambanan Temple.
Candi Plaosan was built in the mid 9th century by Sri Kahulunnan, what makes this place a must visit destination is this temple combine both Hindu and Buddhist religious symbols in their elaborate. Why is this temple combines both Hindu and Buddhist? because its built by a Hindu prince for his Buddhist bride in Central Java. And for now, this temple also known as The Love Temple (another name: Twin Temple).
There are 2 main temples in Candi Plaosan Area. There are woman temple and man temple, inside the temple are same but at the woman temple, the lightning is more bright than the other one. This place is really interesting, and has a beautiful story behind it, so make sure you don’t missed this place when you come to Yogyakarta.

Sewu Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
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.

Pawon Mbah Noto Plaosan
A nice place to have break or lunch. It is located near plaosan temple, the definition of eating with a temple view. The food served are traditional food such as Medoan, Bakwan, Nasi bakar, and a lot more. The prices are relatively cheap. Definitely a place to visit if you happen to go near prambanan/plaosan temple.
A surprisingly cute & nice place beside the Plaosan Temple Complex. Good view of the temple & tasty food!

Kawasan Candi Prambanan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Candi Prambanan
This temple is quite majestic. The details carved into the sculptures and all are very well done and it was all a sight to behold. It would have been better had we found a local guide (we were on the lookout but it seemed that there were too many tourists so we couldn't find one). Without a local guide, we were unable to understand more of the temple's history and I feel that I couldn't appreciate it to the fullest extent.
