If you travel to Yogyakarta, you have to visit the Watu Goyang tourism attraction. The attraction of this tourism spot has beautiful sunset panorama. It is named Watu Goyang, because in the past, there was once a rock at the top which was able to sway if it was touched or pushed. The rock has existed for about hundreds of years. The location of the tourism attraction is in Giriloyo Hamlet, Mangunan Village, Dlingo sub-district, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta. The distance is approximately 21 kilometers from Yogyakarta City. It takes about one hour to reach the area by motor vehicles.

You can see the natural scenery which is still green and the natural scenery of Mount Merapi if you travel to Watu Goyang.  Being at the peak of the area, you will feel the cool air temperature, particularly in the morning. If you come to Watu Goyang in the morning, you can see the fog like the land above the clouds, but unfortunately visitors cannot see the beautiful sunrise perfectly. Then if you go to Watu Goyang in the afternoon, you will see a beautiful view above the western peak of the sky where the sun sets perfectly because Watu Goyang Peak is located directly  to the west. Moreover, from the top of the peak, you can clearly see the expanse of lowlands, starting from the downtown of Yogyakarta on the northwest side to the south to Bantul Regency from Watu Goyang.

Traveling to Watu Goyang, you can also visit the beautiful flower gardens in this natural tourism. At this place, the expanse of sunflower gardens and other flowers also looks fresh. You can take selfie photos with this flower garden as background. In Watu Goyang, there are a lot of very good selfie spots to take photos. These instagrammable photo spots include sentry view post shaped like a helicopter, flower photo spots, and others. After the sun sets, the beauty at Watu Goyang is still going on. The sparkling lights of Bantul Regency and Yogyakarta City look so beautiful. The scenery is appropriate for the lovers of night photography.
