Go see the Yogyakarta version of Huaqing Hot Spring

Yogyakarta, once the capital of a sultanate, has many historical sites, and feels very much like Xi'an in Indonesia. The water palace in the city is like the Huaqing Pool, and is worth a visit. 🕍＞ Taman Sari The Water Palace is called Taman Sari in Indonesian. It was originally built for various purposes. It is said that the Sultan invited a Portuguese architect to build this exquisite holiday villa in order to keep his leisure and entertainment space hidden. The Water Palace was once a luxurious entertainment park for the royal palace, and also a swimming pool and waterway for the Sultan and his entourage. The Sultan will throw a rose from the tower south of the pool, and the concubine who can catch the rose will be his "wife". That is to say, whoever catches the rose will become the Sultan's queen or his concubine. The Water Palace was initially damaged during the Diponegoro Javanese War and was later completely destroyed by an earthquake in 1865. Most of what you see today are just relics of the past, the bathhouse has been rebuilt, and the tunnels and underground mosque are very unique. The Water Palace is actually very small. You can see it all in half an hour. You can visit it together with the nearby Sultan Palace. However, the palace is closed on Mondays, so please pay attention to the time. 🕑＞ Opening hours: 9:00-15:00 🎫＞ Ticket price: 25k #travelinspiration #trip #overseastravel #indonesia #yogyakarta #indonesiantrip
