Had visited Kinabalu Park a few years back.
It remains the 1 and only UNESCO Heritage Site that I had visited!
I have this dream of visiting EACH AND EVERYONE of the UNESCO Heritage Sites!
Come Oct / Nov I will be visiting Borobudur and Prambanan temple in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. =)
Wish me luck that I can get some good pics to share with you guys!
Can't wait!
Borobudur Temple Compounds
This famous Buddhist temple, dating from the 8th and 9th centuries, is located in central Java. It was built in three tiers: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa. The walls and balustrades are decorated with fine low reliefs, covering a total surface area of 2,500 sq. m. Around the circular platforms are 72 openwork stupas, each containing a statue of the Buddha. The monument was restored with UNESCO's help in the 1970s.
Prambanan Temple Compounds
Built in the 10th century, this is the largest temple compound dedicated to Shiva in Indonesia. Rising above the centre of the last of these concentric squares are three temples decorated with reliefs illustrating the epic of the Ramayana, dedicated to the three great Hindu divinities (Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma) and three temples dedicated to the animals who serve them.
