The Picturesque Java

Indonesia’s largest cities, Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya, are centres of government, trade and culture, while ancient temples and monuments recall a long and dramatic history. There is much to see and do in Java, with highlights including “Scenery is varied, with volcanic peaks, most inactive, though, forming part of the Pacific ‘Ring of fire’, contrasting with rich rural landscapes of rice fields, orchards, and picturesque villages.”
