Borobudur Temple

Although it’s actually located in Magelang area, Borobudur Temple is the one thing that most tourists look forward to seeing when visiting Yogyakarta. Once was in the 7 Wonders of the World, Borobudur is still a wonder on how people in the 9th century could have built this humongous Buddhist temple and scrupulously carved relieves on its walls, depicting the Ramayana story.

The last time I visited Borobudur, only an hour drive from Yogyakarta, was about a decade ago. There are also some small tamples around the Borobudur temple. I’m quite sure there’s not much changes in the building itself, but in these last few years I’ve heard that there have been some traditional ballet shows held at the fore of the temple, involving amazing light shows and everything. Make sure you’re in time for the shows before deciding when you’re visiting Yogyakarta.

The sound of serene signaling break time sounded from the Dutch defense post. Lieutenant Colonel Suharto as Commander of Brigade 10 of Wehrkreise III area attacked to the Dutch defense post after getting an agreement from Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX as initiator of the attack. 

The Dutch troop that since the Dutch Military Aggression II in December 1948 was distributed to small posts was separated and weakened. During six hours, Indonesian National Army secceeded in occupying Yogyakarta, after hitting the Dutch troop. Right at 12.00 in the afternoon, as it was planned, all Indonesian army drew back from the city center when the Dutch support came, total loose at the Dutch side.

This battle known as Serangan Umum 1 Maret was initial authentication to the international world that Indonesia Nationa Army still had power to fight and to state that the Republic of Indonesia still existed. This was triggered by the capture and the exile of Bung Karno and Bung Hatta to Sumatra setting propaganda that the Republic of Indonesia had not existed.

The news about the six hours attacks was sent to Wonosari, continued to Bukit Tinggi, then Burma, New Delhi (India), and finally in the main office of the UN in New York. With this news, the United Nations that considered Indonesia to have been independent compelled the execution of KTN ( Komisi Tiga Negara/Commission of Three Nations ). The meeting held in Des Indes Hotel Jakarta on 14 April 1949, where Indonesia was represented by Moh. Roem and representatives of Netherlands led by Van Royen, resulted in an agreement signed on 7 May 1949. This agreement was later called Roem Royen Statement.

Malioboro

Malioboro is the most famous street in Yogyakarta. Located in the heart of Yogya, this is the city’s main street, and was once the ceremonial avenue for the Sultan to pass through on his way to and from the Keraton. During such occasions Malioboro would be festively decorated with flowers. Some say that the name Malioboro” derives from the name of the British governor Marlborough from the era when Britain ruled the archipelago, between 1811-1816.

Near the north gate of the Keraton or palace are grand Dutch colonial buildings that are now the Central Post Office and the Bank Dagang Negara. Walking further north is the well laid out State Guest House, which was once the home of the Dutch Resident, but which after Independence became the presidential palace when Yogya was the capital of the young Republic. President Soekarno stayed here between 1946-1949.

Yogyakarta

I went to Yogyakarta for a few day. I want to share with you about it and I have a new experience about it also. And these are the history about Yogyakarta city.

YOGYAKARTA is located in middle of Java Island – Indonesia and there are so many kind of old ancient temples. Yogyakarta was the center of ancient Mataram Kingdom which was prosperous and high civilized for a thousand years ago. This kingdom built Borobudur Temple which was the biggest Buddhist temple in the world. It was about 300 years before Angkor Wat in Cambodia. And some other relics are Prambanan Temple, Ratu Boko Palace, and dozens of other temples scattered throughout Yogyakarta. Ancient Mataram Kingdom moved its central government to East Java in the 10th century by some mysterious reason.

The magnificent temples were abandoned and partially buried by the eruption material of Merapi Volcano. Slowly, Yogyakarta region went back into the dense forest. Panembahan Senopati established the Islamic Mataram Kingdom in the region for six hundred years later. Yogyakarta became the witness of human history of a great Kingdom that ruled Java Island and it is surrounding area.

Islamic Mataram Kingdom was leaving a trail of ruins of fortress and royal tombs in Kotagede which recently is known as silver handicraft center in Yogyakarta. Giyanti agreement in 1755 divided the Islamic Mataram Kingdom into Kasunanan Surakarta be based in the city of Solo and Yogyakarta Sultanate which founded in Yogyakarta. Kraton (palace) still exists until today and is functioned as the residence of sultan and his family as well as hundreds of abdi dalem (the servant of the palace) who faithfully serve the palace voluntarily and run the tradition in the midst of changing times. At the palace, there are many cultural performances such as wayang kulit (puppet shadow play), gamelan (Javanese orchestra), and Javanese dance etc.Yogyakarta at present is a place where tradition and modern dynamics are going on together continuously. In this city, there is a palace which has hundreds of loyal servants to run the tradition, but there is also University of Gadjah Mada that is one of the leading universities in South East Asia. Some of its residents live in a strong agrarian culture. In the other side, there are also students who live with pop life-style.

Traditional markets and handicraft centers are numerous in the city where some of them located by the malls which are no less hectic.You will see Mount Merapi stands proudly almost as high as 10,000 feet at the north end of Yogyakarta. This mountain is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia. The trace of its malignant of the 2006 eruption can be witnessed in the Village of Kaliadem, 30 km from the city of Yogyakarta. Mooi Indie style scenery of green rice field with Mount Merapi in the background can still be seen in the suburb area of Yogyakarta.You will find many beaches In the southern part of Yogyakarta. The most famous beach is Parangtritis with its legendary figure of Nyi Roro Kidul (Queen of the South), but Yogyakarta has also many natural beautiful beaches in Gunung Kidul. You can see the Sadeng Beach which is an ancient estuary of Bengawan Solo River before the powerful forces lifted the surface of the southern part of Java Island so that the flow of the river turned to the north like today.

You can also visit Siung Beach which has 250 channels of rock climbing, Sundak Beach and many more. Yogyakarta has Prambanan Temple with 47 meters tall and was made by hand about 1100 the previous years. Yogyakarta owns natural beaches and Mount Merapi, which has a story of how powerful the force of nature is. Yogyakarta has a unique combination of ancient temples, history, traditions, culture and natural forces. Yogyakarta has traditional agrarian society.
