[HarlieFebrilliant]

Puncak Sawiyah (Sawiyah Peak) is a mountain ridge that offers spectacular panorama located in Sangiang Village, Banjaran District, Majalengka Regency, Indonesia. Sawiyah is surrounded by vast onion fields that not only stunning for the eyes, but also the favorite destination of mountain bike lovers from all over Indonesia. A local Whistler? In order to reach the peak, you may need to start from Majalengka city, and traveling uphill the paved roads to Panyaweuyan valley. From this point, you can see the onions fields are everywhere, keep going on up the hills, in less than 2 hours you will arrived at the peak of Sawiyah. So, what is more satisfying than riding your bike on the mountain ridge? Well, mountain ridge with onions 🙂 You can even go home with a bunch of fresh onions in your backpack if you're lucky enough. Yes, the local farmers are so kind.

Hi @HarlieFebrilliant

What a fabulous Local Story for the Google Maps Local Guides Connect Local Story. 

Thank you for this wonderful Local story. that sounds exhilarating. Very interesting. Onions to go , so fresh would be a tasty food on a healthy trail to Puncak Sawiyah (Sawiyah Peak) with a panoramic view too. 

Sangiang Village, in the 

BanjaranDistrict, Majalengka Regency, Indonesia sounds magical. 

@VijayDesai is right, it would be lovely to see your pictures here also.

Hello @Justine2807, @VijayDesai!

Thank you for the feedback. Actually I have tried to put those stunning photos. But while I was working on it, unfortunately Connect said there is something wrong with the HTML and told me to fix it, I wasn't really sure what happened and I don't really understand tho 😞 So I tried to revise the writing in HTML section, deleting all the fuzzy fonts and get it published. And those photos are just gone.

Is there something I missed? Please let me know if there is something I can do to make those photos get uploaded. Looking forward your tips, thank you!

Hi @HarlieFebrilliant

You will still have your photos on your Google Photos and Google Drive. There may have been a simple glitch with your device. I would try again if I was you. 

Load them up in singular format, one at a time here works best for me. 

Do you own an Android phone?, you will have no issues with uploading photos to Connect from there. Whatever device you are uploading from go to the Google Chrome and in the three dots in the top left corner set it to desktop site and then use the Google Photos to make it easy with all photos at all times. 

Google Photos , High Quality uploads are stored for free. 

Install Google Photos App. 

The new Connect is set to make it easy for you, so try again and I am sure you will have no troubles. 

You can edit your original post by going to the three dots at the base of your article , next to the Kudos heart function. You will see Edit your post there, click on it,  then simply add the photos via the camera icon on the Connect toolbar. You do not need to revert it to HTML. 

Also make sure to add the Google Maps links to where your story is about and where your pictures were taken plus the reviews from Google Maps also would be excellent to see here. 

Plus remember as @VijayDesai said Please go through Local Guide Connect Programme Rules, The Five Core Values of Connect, Help etc.(see TABs at the bottom of page).
