Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Yo ma reader friends,

In this chance, I want to introduce to you all the amazing things that Yogyakarta have. Yup, Yogyakarta is very rich of culture and history .

It is renowned as a centre of classical Javanese fine art and culture such as batik, ballet, drama, music, poetry, and puppet shows.


The area of the city of Yogyakarta is 32.5 km². While the city spreads in all directions from the kraton (the Sultan's palace), the core of the modern city is to the north, centring around Dutch colonial-era buildings and the commercial district.

Jalan Malioboro, with rows of pavement vendors and nearby market and malls, is the primary shopping street for tourists in the city. At the southern end of Malioboro, on the east side is the large local market of Beringharjo, not far from Fort Vredeburg a restored Dutch fort.
