Welcome
to Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta
or 'Yogya' is easily the most popular city in Indonesia.
It's a cultural and intellectual centre, crammed with
prestigious universities and academies, and its influence
far outweighs its size. Sure it has noisy and chaotic
traffic like any Javanese city, but just a short stroll
away from the main streets are the kampungs where life
is still unhurried. Despite its veneer of modernity
and westernisation, the city clings strongly to its
traditional values and philosophies.
Traditional
performing arts (Ramayana Ballet, gamelan performances
etc) can be seen at the Yogyakarta Craft Centre and
the Agastya Art Institute. It is also a major craft
centre, especially for batik. The walled-in kraton compound,
in the city centre, is a city within a city. The kraton
is home to 25,000 people and includes the sultan's huge
palace, the Taman Sari (also known as the water castle
or fragrant garden), a bird market and several craft
industries. There are several worthwhile museums in
the city, including the Sono-Budoyo Museum and Benteng
Vredeburg. The suburb of Kota Gede has been famous since
the 1930s as the centre of Yogya's silver industry,
and is still a great place to wander around and watch
the silversmiths at work.Yogya offers an excellent range
of accommodation, restaurants and food stalls, most
of which are on or just off Jalan Malioboro. The most
interesting way of reaching Yogya is via the rickety
backwater ferry from Kalipucang, which crosses Segara
Anakan and stops at a string of fishing villages. There's
a beach 27km (17mi) from Yogya at Parangtritis, which
is popular with locals on weekends. !
Borobudur
Borobudur
is one of the greatest Buddhist relics in South-East
Asia and is Indonesia's most famous attraction. Rulers
of the Sailendra dynasty built the colossal pyramid
of Borobudur between 750 and 850 AD, but very little
else is known about the site's early history except
that a huge workforce must have been harnessed to shift
and carve the 60,000 cu m (196,800 cu ft) of stone used
in its construction. With the decline of Buddhism and
the shift of power to East Java, Borobudur was soon
abandoned and for centuries lay hidden under layers
of volcanic ash. It was only in 1815 that the site was
cleared and the technical skill and imagination of the
builders was revealed. A mammoth US$21-million restoration
programme undertaken between 1973 and 1984 returned
much of the complex to its former glory. The Mendut
and Pawon temples nearby are important parts of the
complex, though easily overlooked by visitors to the
main site. Borobudur is 40km (25mi) north-west of Yogya.
