THE BREAK OF DAWN AT INDONESIA’S ICON OF CULTURAL HERITAGE

No two sunsets are the same.  And I guess the same holds true for sunrise.  

There would be less comparison for me when we speak of sunrise, as seldom do I wake up that early to witness the break of dawn and feel the warmth of the morning rays. And to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Borobudur Temple in Central Java, Indonesia is one willing exception of my extended slumber. Call time was 3:30AM.  And at 4:30AM, we were at Manohara Hotel grounds for the special registration of sunrise viewing before the regular guests are allowed to enter. 

It was all worth it.

INTERESTING FEATURES OF MAGELANG INDONESIA

Apart from being the gateway to a ninth-century Buddhist monument, Borobudur Temple, there is more to discover at Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia.  Magelang City is a small city located in a fertile agricultural area and one of the most densely populated regions on Central Java.

A year ago, I and my friends wandered in the streets of Magelang but only for a few hours as we insisted in going back to Malioboro Yogyakarta just after sunset at Borobudur Temple - even if it entails haggling for cab fares in the most creative and persuasive way we can.  There was total darkness in the dirt road and we I, speaking for myself, felt we’re trapped in a dungeon with nowhere to go.  There’s nothing interesting as perceived.  But such perception all changed through the Ministry of Tourism of Indonesia’s prepared itinerary.  Indeed, there are interesting sites to visit and things to do at Magelang, Java, Indonesia.
