Hotel and World Heritage Site Achievements: Amanjiwo & Borobudur

I can't explain clearly why I chose to go to Java Island in Indonesia, whether it was for the top hotel Amanjiwo or Borobudur. Perhaps they are interdependent, as no one who goes to Amanjiwo would miss a visit to Borobudur! amanjiwo: This secluded paradise built by Ed Tuttle on the island of Java is completely based on the architectural imagery and concepts of Borobudur. Whether it is the building plan with outer squares and inner circles, gradually descending layers, or the square and diamond-shaped limestone brick walls interwoven like weaving, or the bell-shaped roofs constructed with stupa shapes as the reference object... After combining with Amanresorts' openness and generosity in scale and proportion, it creates an extremely grand and solemn atmosphere that is breathtaking. 🌟Highlight features: On a sunny day, looking far from the central axis of the hotel lobby, you can see the statues of the Borobudur Temple in the distance, all aligned on one axis. This is the most profound intention of the hotel design. The hotel offers a famous private guide service to Borobudur, taking guests to admire the sunrise at Borobudur every morning in the hotel's private car. However, please note: 📝Attention tips: In the past few years, there was an exclusive early access service for Amanjiwo guests to enter the scenic area, which has now been suspended. Even if you stay at the hotel, you cannot go to the scenic area during off-hours, so those who pay to participate in this activity must pay attention to this adjustment. However, because the hotel still provides funding support for the protection of Borobudur every year, and because the hotel's private guide service still enjoys certain privileges. 🚉Transportation guide: The hotel provides airport shuttle service for Yogyakarta Airport, which takes about 2-3 hours one way. 🛏Room facilities: Not all rooms are useful, only from the third level room and above have a swimming pool. The room grades are roughly: garden view, Borobudur view, garden view with pool, Borobudur view with pool, and various suites. Because the local weather is hot all year round, it is recommended to choose a room with a pool to enjoy a private swimming pool. 🍽️Food and beverage recommendations: Hotel restaurant's breakfast is à la carte buffet style, with freshly squeezed juices, various Western breakfast options, and abundant Indonesian breakfast options, especially local delicacies like Indonesian fried rice, which are extremely delicious! Borobudur: Located in Indonesia in Southeast Asia, Borobudur was built around 750-850 AD by the rulers of the Shailendra dynasty who ruled Java at that time. The name "Borobudur" likely comes from the Sanskrit "Vihara Buddha Ur," meaning "Buddhist temple on the hilltop." Borobudur was built around the 9th century and was buried underground due to a volcanic eruption in 1006 AD. It was rediscovered by the British in 1812 and was able to see the light of day again. Along with China's Great Wall, India's Taj Mahal, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat, it is known as one of the four ancient wonders of the East. As Indonesia's most famous world cultural heritage site, it is worth a special trip!
