What specialty in Indonesia is cheap?

In the market, except for textiles and services, the prices of general commodities are not cheaper than those in China, so you don't have to spend money on general commodities, but choose handicrafts and souvenirs with Indonesian characteristics.

There are many kinds of handicrafts and souvenirs in Indonesia, each with its own characteristics. Among them are Badipu, Grice dagger, wood carving, silverware products, bronze or copper alloy statues, shadow play, puppet show, Borobudur stupa in Pramban, Nanling Temple and other landscape models, multicolored shell products, lilac string artworks, natural gems, Indonesian landscape paintings in Bali and so on. Decorative fans, horn crafts, small stone crafts and Lombok porcelain pots are all favorite items of foreign tourists.

Indonesia's silver products can be divided into two categories, one is an ornament made of pure silver or silver alloy that we are familiar with, and the other is a slender silver wire welded according to the pattern design. His works are exquisite, delicate and graceful. There are many shapes of silver handicrafts, including some small and exquisite flower-shaped silver brooches and silver earrings, which are beautiful and easy to carry, and often become the first choice for tourists.

Badi cloth is a kind of batik printed cloth, which is characterized by printing colorful patterns on the cloth, including geometric patterns, various flower and bird patterns, symmetrical patterns and asymmetrical patterns. Its colors are mainly black, red and yellow, bright and lively, and some are mainly blue, brown and white, which is dignified and deep. This kind of cloth is not only deeply loved by the Indonesian people, but also has long been famous in the world. The long-sleeved men's shirts and women's sand cages made of it are designated as Indonesian national clothes, which are suitable for various formal and informal occasions.

Visitors should pay attention to the manufacturing process when buying Bati cloth. Printed batibu is drawn by traditional hand, with fine workmanship and artistic value, but it is generally expensive because of time-consuming and laborious. Mechanical Badibu, because of its high output, relatively cheap price and more economic benefits, is not as good as handmade products in artistic value.

Indonesian woodcarving, especially Balinese woodcarving, is well-known at home and abroad, and almost all foreign guests who travel to Indonesia will not buy one or two Balinese woodcarving as souvenirs. Balinese woodcarving is a traditional handicraft, which was originally closely related to the religious beliefs of Balinese people.

People carve Hindu gods they worship with stones or wood and worship them in temples, courtyards and halls. Later, it was passed down from generation to generation, resulting in countless skilled craftsmen. Most of the wood carvings in Bali are carved from ebony and teak, with hard texture and fine patterns. Their shapes are varied, including lifelike animals such as condors, bulls, lions, bulls and various birds, lifelike Balinese fishermen and girls, legendary figures in folk stories and various abstract artistic images in contemporary times.
