Fascinating Bromo Mountain - second draft

East Java is a province in eastern of Java Island. East Java has many things to be proud of. One of them is Bromo Mountain. Its beauty has been famous in the world. Not only its beauty, but also its interesting annual ceremony which is held by Tengger people who live around the mountain. The ceremony is called Kasada. It is held in order to show their grateful to their God for their successful harvest and to request for another good harvest in the coming year. They bring some of their crops such as rice plant, banana, cassava, and so on to the sand sea below the Bromo’s crater. The ceremony usually holds in December.

Besides Kasada Ceremony, we can also enjoy the sunrise or in other words, welcoming the dawn. Red, yellow, and orange colors are perfectly mixed, coloring the clean and blue morning sky. The crater of Bromo also has a magnificent view. The crater itself is active and release clouds of sulfur. To reach the crater, we have to ride the horse to cross the sand sea. Then, we should step up the long stairs.
