The Indonesian island of Java holds three cultural WHS, among which is the iconic Borobudur. I visited all three sites on daytrips from Yogyakarta, a city that in its Sultan's Palace (kraton) also has a monument worthy of WH status.

Ping Yao
'My third world heritage site of Shanxi trip and also my final destination was Ping Yao, the well preserved ancient Chinese city which was the important financial and trade center of Chinese Empire during Ming and Qing dynasties and clearly my favorite place of this short but wonderful journey.'		 Nemrut Dag
'I cycled up there in 1988 - 21 years ago!!!. It took all day. I remember being knackered by the time I reached the top, but it was well worth the effort.'
 
Mount Vernon (T)
'I visited this site in 1994. It was a very historical and informative site. Artifacts from the home and farm were unique and well preserved.'		 Kronborg Castle
'After reading few of the reviews i was not expecting anything special on this site, but the castle is very nice.'
 
Cartagena
'We visited Cartegena in the spring of 2009 and took a harbor cruise. We were able to see how the Spanish organized the 8 forts defensively to protect against pirate attacks.'		 Tsodilo
'Hi, I was several times at Tsodilo during the 90s and came across a picture of a whale, next to a hippo and another animal.'
