Borobudur

This is a unique Buddhist temple built in the 9th century. It was abandoned in the 14th century, but rediscovered in 1815 by Sir Thomas Raffles. It is a UNESCO World Heritage sight, & very well worth visiting.Temple from a distance. HOT!Temple from a distance.

Re: Semarang Borobudur

@PrestonAZTXMN Very cool! I had a chance to visit Borobudur a few times in the past and always enjoyed my visit. Just curious why you put the title 'Semarang Borobudur' for your post, considering they're not really close to each other?

Re: Semarang Borobudur

You are correct. Semarang was the port where our cruise ship landed. I would edit the title if I knew how. (?)

Thanks

Bls: Semarang Borobudur

Hallo @PrestonAZTXMN , @iyudhi

 

Borobudur entered the region of Magelang, Central Java. Semarang is another city quite far from Magelang.
I made a post about the temple, please click here: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/Candi-Bukti-Peradaban-masa-lalu-yang-menakj...

Pak @iyudhi @PrestonAZTXMN

Borobudur near the city of Yogyakarta, people often call Borobudur Magelang Yogyakarta. But actually Borobudur entered the province of Central Java.
