The following are the comments on the Bromo volcano after the tour: Beautiful scenery - sunrise scenery shock: climbing in the early morning waiting for the sunrise, when the sun slowly rises, golden sunlight spills on the sea of clouds and volcanoes, the light and shadow change, the clouds and mist are haunting, like a dreamy wonderland, intoxicating. - Volcanic landscape spectacular: huge crater, smoke-spraying scene, surrounded by black sand sea, as if on the lunar surface, unique landscape brings strong visual impact, can deeply feel the majestic power of nature. Experience - Compact itinerary: usually includes a number of activities such as watching the sunrise and watching the crater. The itinerary is full and needs to be planned for time and physical strength. If you participate in a tour group, you must work closely with the tour guide and driver to ensure the smooth completion of the trip. - Different modes of transportation: you can choose to cross the sand sea by jeep, experience cross-country excitement, and ride to the crater for a different kind of fun. Service facilities - General accommodation conditions: the surrounding homestays and hotels are uneven. If the accommodation requirements are high, you need to carefully select and be psychologically prepared. - Limited dining options: local food tastes may not meet all tourists, there are relatively few types of food, tourists with special requirements for diet can bring some food. Note: Weather is changeable: You need to pay attention to the weather forecast before departure. It is easy to have fog, strong wind and heavy rain during the rainy season, which will affect the viewing experience. There is even a safety risk. The dry season is sunny and more suitable for going. - Large dust: mountain roads and volcanoes around dust, to prepare masks, hats and other protective equipment to prevent dust from entering the mouth, nose and eyes.
Mount Bromo stole my heart! Every moment felt surreal, from the magical sunrise above the clouds to the stunning view of the volcano. It truly felt like a masterpiece of nature.Bromo is absolutely beautiful and totally worth the trip. A must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers!

When you go to Surabaya, the zoo is worth visiting. It is close to the city center, and the ticket price is just over 7 yuan. There are many kinds of animals, and they are also unique: Komodo dragons, large, medium and small. The number is beyond imagination. The proboscis monkeys are lively and cute, entertaining themselves. It is also convenient to have a dining area in the zoo. The local people are also very friendly. In short, it is so convenient to watch Indonesia's national treasures and special animals up close, and the cost performance is really high. If you have time, you can have a good time for half a day.
Surabaya Zoo is an area of ​​15 hectares located in the city of Surabaya. A popular place among local and foreign tourists. It is very suitable for family vacations and is easily accessible from the city of Surabaya. or accommodation. There are many animals here and divided into how many parts like African, American and other animals.

Such a tiring but memorable place. Depart from hotel at 12am, arrive there and had our “breakfast or supper” at 2am and start to hike. We spent around 2.5-3hours to reach the peak. Wait for sun rise and the blue lake was amazing. worth our energy to hit the peak. 😍
A Mount Ijen blue fire trip is a captivating and otherworldly adventure that takes you to the heart of East Java, Indonesia. Here's what makes this journey to Mount Ijen's blue fire truly remarkable:1. The Enigmatic Blue Fire: The main attraction of Mount Ijen is its mesmerizing blue fire, a natural phenomenon caused by the combustion of sulfuric gases. Witnessing this eerie blue glow in the darkness of night is a surreal and unforgettable experience.2. Challenging Hike: To reach the blue fire, you'll embark on a challenging hike that usually starts in the early hours of the morning. The steep ascent can be demanding, but the reward of witnessing the blue flames is well worth the effort.3. Ijen Crater Lake: As you reach the rim of the crater, you'll be greeted by the sight of Ijen's turquoise-colored crater lake. This stunningly acidic lake is one of the world's largest, and its unique color contrasts beautifully with the rugged landscape.4. Sulfur Miners: Along the trail, you'll encounter the incredibly tough sulfur miners who work in the harsh conditions of Mount Ijen. These laborers extract chunks of sulfur from the volcano and carry heavy loads down the steep slopes, offering a glimpse into their challenging way of life.5. Sunrise Spectacle: Timing your visit to coincide with sunrise is a must. Watching the first light of day illuminate the crater, lake, and surrounding mountains creates a breathtaking panorama that photographers and nature enthusiasts will cherish.6. Volcanic Scenery: The entire journey to Mount Ijen is a visual feast. You'll pass through lush forests, volcanic rocks, and rugged terrain, making it a perfect opportunity for nature lovers and adventure seekers.7. Safety Considerations: Due to the presence of toxic sulfuric gases, it's important to take safety precautions during your visit. Wearing a gas mask provided by your guide is essential to protect yourself from inhaling harmful fumes.

I have visited jodipan rainbow village is unique with colors, entry is two thousand rupiah per person, there are lots of wall art paintings which are very cute in their dimensions, the cleanliness is sufficient and what is very difficult to find is a parking space.
Jodipan Tourism Village in Malang City, East Java, or what is known as the Colorful Village, which used to be a 'slum' is now a location visited by many tourists. Every weekend it is estimated that the number of visitors who come reaches hundreds of people A number of visitors were seen walking around the narrow alleys in the village which is on the banks of the Brantas River Basin (DAS), while residents there continued to carry out their activities as usual. Occasionally tourists take photos of the village atmosphere or 'selfies'.
