SHÀNGHÂI ONLINE
The best way to receive fairly up-to-date information on Shànghâi before departure is on the Internet, though it’s best to surf a variety of websites so you can compare information.

Gedung Songo ('Nine Buildings') belong to the earliest antiquities of Java, they follow up the temples on the Dieng Plateau directly, for what about time. They were also built high in the mountains in an area full with volcanic activity; and they were also from Hinduist origin. But where the temples on Dieng Plateau are somewhat squeezed into a foggy valley, Gedung Songo are spread over the higher parts of the mountains, which guarantee a splendid view.
