Candi (Temple) Borobudur is located in Yogyakarta, Central Java. From where i was staying in Semarang, its a 2 hours drive southbound. There is an abundance of greenery and fresh air here. You'll see padi fields and all sorts of other plantations.
Here we are, another 1.5km to Candi Borobudur.
Here's a photo of the entrance. Its actually stated here that Borobudur is one of the 7 wonders of the world. To read more, click on the link from my previous post.
Borobudur has nine platforms, of which the lower six are square and the upper three are circular. The upper platform features seventy-two small stupas surrounding one large central stupa. Each stupa is bell-shaped and pierced by numerous decorative openings. Statues of the Buddha sit inside the pierced enclosures. - wikipedia
As you walk around the structure, you will realise that the carvings on the walls tells a tale.
The lower levels features humans carvings, and as you climb towards the peak of the candi, the carvings begins to feature the path towards the heavens with carvings of buddhas.
