Different Holiday Ideas in Yogyakarta

A packed itinerary often ends with tired feet and blurry memories. Try another pattern: one main activity a day, and the rest relaxed.

Build each day around one main activity

Pick one thing you really want to do that day. Everything else is a bonus.

You are not rushing after a schedule, and every day has a clear story.

A sample 5 day plan

This is only an example. Change it to your taste.

• Day 1: arrive, walk around near your hotel.
• Day 2: a temple or historic site, go early to beat the heat.
• Day 3: first guzheng lesson, then lunch and a rest.
• Day 4: nature or a beach.
• Day 5: second guzheng lesson and a photo session.

Why a guzheng lesson works as a main activity

One session is only 45 minutes, so it does not eat your day. But you go home with something you can play.

In the Holiday Program you learn privately with me, at least 4 sessions over 1 to 4 weeks. We set the schedule around your plans.

Many students start from zero. That is normal. The first song is usually simple and already sounds good.

Hanfu try-on and photoshoot

For photos with a story, there is a bonus hanfu try-on and photoshoot at 1 tourist spot. We lend the guzheng for the photo session and help take the photos.

Transport to the spot, accommodation and entrance fees are not included. Details are on the Holiday Program page.

Tips to keep the trip tidy

• Tell us your lesson plans early, so you can arrange other days around them.
• Avoid a lesson right after a long journey. Rest first.
• Keep your nails short. The right hand wears picks on the fingers, and long nails get in the way.
