What travelers say:
Last time, I went on a vacation to Bali, Yogyakarta, and Jakarta. Although they were all in Indonesia, the three places had three different styles and customs. Yogyakarta was mainly for two places. One was the pilgrimage site for hotel addicts, Amanjiwo. There is an Aman in Yogyakarta, which is isolated from the world and a paradise. The other place is Borobudur. Borobudur is the largest ancient monument in the southern hemisphere and the largest pagoda complex. The must-see itinerary in Yogyakarta is to climb Borobudur before dawn, and then quietly feel the mystery and magnificence, tranquility and shock. The general sunrise itinerary is to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning and rush here. AMANJIWO is located at the foot of the mountain, and you can start climbing the mountain before the door opens. I was woken up by the housekeeper at around 4:30, and then went to the lobby to have breakfast and get ready. Then a special driver and guide would take us to Borobudur. We were there on a weekday, so there weren't many people. I heard from my friends that it's usually crowded. The guide took us to the best spot, and then we quietly waited for the sunrise. I'm not a Buddhist, and this is not a spiritual cleansing trip. I took a few photos and gave up my spot to others. I walked around the pagoda and found many monks meditating quietly. Because there is an active volcano nearby, some of the pagoda bells were shaken off. There are also many headless Buddha statues, which are also caused by the earthquake.
