Many have heard of Borobudur Temple, even if asked, almost everyone has witnessed the splendor of this largest Indonesian temple. However, the temple, which is not too far from the city of Magelang, has another uniqueness that tourists who have visited Borobudur Temple may not necessarily experience. Namely the atmosphere of Borobudur Temple in the morning. Very different from the opening hours during the day.
The cool air and the village atmosphere add to the beauty of entering the heritage complex of the Syailendra dynasty, which opens at six in the morning. Don’t discourage going up to the highest temple court. From the sidelines of the Buddhist stupa we can witness the beautiful sunrise against a rural background covered in morning mist. If you want to experience another experience visiting Borobudur, visitors can stay at a hotel that provides morning visit packages. Or through travel travel services. The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, when visiting Indonesia, also prepared a special time in the morning to visit Borobudur temple. Like other morning visitors, Zuckerberg immediately took a selfie with a row of stupas and the rising sun in the background. Don’t worry, in the morning in the courtyard of the Borobudur temple you will find beautiful photo spots.
