Andung is a horse drawn four wheelers carriage. Sometimes the carriage is pulled by two horses. This is a very pleasant way to move around town. All carriages are canopied for protection from sun and rain and many drivers are decked out in traditional Javanese dress making it that much more enjoyable. The price is negotiable and is a popular means of transportation for the locals, and has been very popular among tourists as well Andung horse carriage is a novel leisure way to get around Yogyakarta. All along the way the horse-drawn carriage attracted the attention of passersby. Cantering along streets crowded with motorcycles and automobiles, the antique-looking carriage aroused plenty of curiosity especially from outsiders. Upon seeing the carriage, locals and tourists alike may be reminded of the fact that about a century ago, horse-drawn carriages were a common sight on the roads of Yogyakarta. The carriage tours of the city is a reminder to people, amid the ongoing progress of modern times, of what life in Java was like in bygone days. I believes that this does promote tourism as it provides an interesting sight in the streets. It is a great way to see the city and the country-side around Yogyakarta - You won't miss anything.
