Introduction of self-help tour in Bali

Bali is not only a paradise for tourism, but also a paradise for diving. When I travel to Bali for the first time, there must be many things that are not very clear. So the following is a guide to self-help travel in Bali. You can have a look.

First, how many days can I play?

Bali is a very big island, which is a holy place for tourism and holiday. Attractions are very dense. It may depend on why you travel for a few days:

1. If you just want to punch in at celebrity attractions and take some nice photos, then 3-5 full-day trips may be enough;

2. If you want to spend a quiet holiday comfortably and undisturbed, 7- 10 days is a good choice;

If you want to dive, extend your holiday as much as possible. After all, China people can stay in Bali for 30 days without a visa.

Second, the visa

Bali is visa-free for China people. As long as you have a passport, you can buy a ticket directly if you want to leave, and you can enter Bali by plane. It is worth noting that if you transfer from China to Bali, some transit countries will require you to have a transit visa. Don't forget this.

Third, money.

If you use a credit card, many stores will charge a 3% handling fee, but some will not;

Many shops in popular attractions support a certain treasure and a certain letter, but not all of them support it;

The local currency exchange business is very developed, but the given exchange rate is very poor, especially at the airport, so it is not recommended to carry RMB or US dollars with you to exchange Indonesian rupiah locally.

According to the ranking, the most economical way is:

1. Exchange Indonesian rupiah in China and take it to Bali. The current exchange rate is about 1 RMB to 2000 rupiah. On the other hand, when you exchange Indonesian rupiah, divide it by 2 and then remove three zeros to get RMB. For example, 10000 Indonesian rupiah divided by 2 is 5 yuan, then 10000 Indonesian rupiah is converted into 5 yuan RMB.

2. Use UnionPay card to withdraw cash directly from the local ATM (the airport supports UnionPay ATM on the left hand side after security check). You'd better take more cards in case you can't take them out. If you withdraw cash, I will withdraw 2000 RMB (4 million Indonesian rupees), with a handling fee of more than ten yuan;

3. Take RMB or US dollars to exchange money directly in the local area. The exchange rate provided by the airport is 65,438+0: 65,438+0,800,2000 RMB, which means a loss of 400,000 Indonesian rupees (200 RMB) compared with the first method and a loss of more than 65,438+0.8 RMB compared with the second method.

To sum up: cash is more convenient. If you don't know how much to bring, take it at the rate of 500- 1000 RMB per day; Take a few UnionPay cards with you, and the cash is not enough to cash out directly; Converting with other countries' currencies is the last choice, but there are also a few places with good exchange rates.

Four. enter

Because it is visa-free, it is relatively easy, but we should pay attention to the following points:

1. Sometimes the customs officer will ask you to show your return ticket. If you don't have a return ticket, you may be banned from entering the country. You can print out the return ticket and carry it with you, or you can save the picture in your mobile phone for the other party to see;

2. The customs will ask for tips naked, because China people generally can't find change in China, so if they are asked for tips, they will give large denomination notes, which will cause great losses. Therefore, it is generally suggested to say "sorry, I don't have any cash with me" directly, because it is against the regulations to ask for tips, and I dare not do anything without tips;

Remember to fill in the customs declaration form on the plane Usually the flight attendants on the plane will send it to everyone. The last check is the carry-on items. If there is something specified, it needs to be checked and declared, so I suggest that all fresh food should not be taken with you.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) phone card

It is not recommended to buy a Bali phone card at the airport because the airport is much more expensive. You can buy it online in advance, or you can just find a local convenience store.

At present, many domestic service providers have launched outbound traffic packages, which are more convenient and not too expensive for friends who don't want to change their phone numbers. You can consider the appearance of more than ten dollars a day.

Intransitive verb transportation

The local public transportation in Bali is not good, so taking a taxi, renting a car or renting a car is the first choice for travel.

There are many people traveling on business or long distances, so you can consider renting a car or carpooling. There are many such services on the Internet, so I won't give an example alone.

If there are few people or the distance is short, you can consider taking a taxi. There are two kinds of taxis in Indonesia, one is expensive and the other is cheap. When taking a taxi, it is often unclear. So I recommend a mobile phone taxi software called Grab, Didi in Southeast Asia. Where can I take a taxi? Download and register before going, show the price before boarding, and pay cash directly when you arrive.

On the first day of arrival, it is very convenient to book a hotel with pick-up service and make an appointment for pick-up time.

Motorcycles can be rented everywhere in Bali, and they are also very cheap. Friends who can drive can try it, which is more free, but remember to pay attention to sun protection and safety.

If you travel freely, it is recommended to use a combination of taxi and chartered car in Bali. Short-distance taxi, long-distance chartered car.

Seven. residence

Bali is a relatively large island, so it is suggested to follow the tour route and find a nearby scenic spot to stay.

Go to Kuta, Kimbalan, Two Lovers' Point, the Temple of the Sea. It is recommended to live near the airport and then take a taxi.

The second scenic spot is Ubud. You can also consider staying 1-2 days.

It takes three hours to drive from the airport in the picture to the blueprint. You can refer to this distance and arrange your own accommodation.
