Scenic spots/tourist attractions

Tanah Lot

Tanalot is one of the most important seaside temples in Bali. It was built in the16th century to worship the sea god. The temple is located on a boulder by the sea. At high tide, the rocks are surrounded by seawater, and the whole temple is isolated from the land and stands alone in the seawater. It is only connected to the land at low tide. Several poisonous sea snakes were found in a small cave on the other side of the rock below the giant rock. Legend has it that they are the guardians of this temple to prevent demons and other intruders. It is said that there were huge waves when the temple was built, and it was very dangerous in the temple. So the monks in the temple took off their belts and threw them into the sea. The belt turned into two sea snakes and finally stopped the wind and waves. Since then, sea snakes have also become the patron saint of temples. On the other side there is a pavilion overlooking the sunset, which has become a major scenic spot in Bali.

The spring water in the temple comes from the pool. Most residents on the island invite holy water to go home to worship, and there are also spring baths here. The stone niche has long been covered with moss, but the spring water is still as it was then. It is said that the spring water here is quite effective. The architectural model of Shengquan Temple is grand and complete. Here you can see the characteristics of all the temples in Bali.

The scene of the holy spring spewing out of the ground is very touching. The bottom of the stone pool is covered with fine black sand. In the spring, the water is surging and dancing, like a huge black peony, blooming in the clear water reflecting the blue sky and green trees.
