Yogyakarta: Day 3 - Taman Sari

After visiting Keraton Yogyakarta, supir brought us to Taman Sari or Water Castle. I love this place very much.



One of the entrance to Taman Sari.

Our tourist guide. For all the places we went, we purposely hire tourist guide. Thanks to them, we now know the historical of Yogyakarta and Solo.


This area is where entertainment took place. The workers will play instrument here.


This castle consists of 3 pool. This pool is only for Sultan's children.

This pool is for Sultan's wives. 28 wives all together.


The Sultan will choose the lucky wife through this tower. As told by our tourist guide, Sultan usually throw penny or ring into the pool. The first wife who find this item will be selected by him. This is done to be fair for all the wives.

This is the private pool where Sultan and lucky wife will spend their time together.

Sultan and lucky wife will then enter this room to heat the body from cool bath. 

This room act as sauna room where heat from fire is below the bed.


One of the villager is making wayang kulit.

This lady is making batik painting.
