Yogyakarta, located in the center of Java, Indonesia, is a cultural and educational centre with a population of more than one million people. Among them there are twenty thousand Chinese. Borobudur, the Buddhist Monument, and Prambanan, a Hindu temple compound, are the tourists' favourites among the many historical sites.
The Divine Land Marching Band gave local residents and tourists a rare chance to learn the true story of Falun Gong.
With permission from the administration of Borobudur, the Divine Land Marching Band performed on the open field to the right of the main entrance. The majestic and resonant trumpets and drums reverberated through the sky.
More and more tourists passed the main entrance close to noon. The music of the Divine Land Marching Band attracted them to watch. They rewarded the band with warm applause.
The band led a 10-kilometre-long parade of Falun Gong practitioners in the afternoon. Parade spectators gave them long-lasting applause and happily accepted introductory pamphlets about Falun Gong.
