🌟 Recommended Points
• The world's largest Buddhist ruins: This massive Buddhist temple in central Java, built in the 9th century, has three levels that form a mandala structure. Approximately 2,672 reliefs and over 504 Buddha statues speak to humanity's path to enlightenment and its cosmic outlook. 
• Exquisite relief art: The low reliefs from the lower to middle levels are meticulously carved with the life of Buddha and Jataka tales, creating a space like a time capsule where history, religion, and art intersect. 
• A fusion of structural beauty and meditation space: The upper level's circular platform is home to 72 openwork stupas, each containing a Buddha statue. The three-tiered structure, including the central stupa at the top, symbolizes the Buddhist cosmology.
