Indonesia and Its Beautiful Sights

Every country in this world must have had some beautiful sights to see. They might be the beach, lake, palace or any other enchanting places to see. They become something to be proud of, everybody likes to talked about them.
Every tourist must have been interested to these places because of their beauty, and I am really sure that they become the most wanted places to be visited by many tourists. So does in my beloved country, Indonesia, there are also some beautiful sights you will ever see.
First of all, let us go to Jogjakarta, it is located in the south of Central Java. Jogjakarta which is usually called Jogja has a lot of glorious places as the tourist destinations. We have Parangtritis Beach for instance, it is a very lovely beach with beautiful view. Its white sand and the running wave will not make the visitors easily forget its beauty. We can ride a horse along the shore and enjoy the lovely panorama there. I am sure that it will be the one of the must be visited place in Jogja.
Still in Jogja, yet we move to the temples. It is used to be one of the seven wonders in the world. Yup, it is Borobudur Temple. It is the biggest Buddha temple in this world and it is very gorgeous. The temple is very wide and high, after walking on the entire temple we will feel very tired yet very happy. We can know about the history from the relief on the temple walls. There is a myth, if we could touch the bellybutton of one of the Buddha statues, our will is going to be true. People believe in this myth, so they are always trying to touch it when they visit Borobudur. Besides, we still have Prambanan Temple, a Hindu temple, it is the biggest Hindu temple in Indonesia. It consists of one thousands statues, and a very great story stands behind it. The story of Lara Jonggrang and Bandung Bondowoso. It is a very well known story in Indonesia. Actually, Jogja still has many great tourist destinations such as Keraton, Malioboro and some Museums. You must be disappointed if you do not include these places as your destinations when you visit Jogja.
Secondly let us move to the paradise island in Indonesia, Bali. Tourists all over the world must have known about this place. The lovely island with so many beautiful beaches. Let begin with Kuta, it is a very famous beach in Bali. Many tourists make this beach as a must be visited beach when they visit Bali. The view, the breeze, the sand, the wave and everything there make everyone wants to stay for a long time and come back there whenever they visit Bali again. Next is Sanur, we will get the best sunrise view there. It is very great, everyone will not forget the beauty of the view there. After Sanur we have Tanah Lot, it is obvious that this beach is also gorgeous. It has a cave which is kept by a white snake.
The other destination, yet still in Bali is Bedugul. A beautiful lake with some Balinese temples or Pura. We can do some water sports there while enjoying the lovely scenery. Anyway, there are still many great destinations in Bali, for example Sangeh the monkey’s kingdom, Sukowati the traditional market in Bali, Tampaksiring etc. Tourists must visit all of them when they go to Bali.
They are just some of the examples of lovely places in my country. Indonesia still has many of gorgeous places to be visited. And I am very proud of them. I love my country since it has some of the most beautiful sights you will ever see and you must visit all of them.
