What are the scenic spots in Bali?

Temple of the Sea

When the tide rises, the rock is surrounded by seawater, and the whole temple is isolated from the land and stands alone in the seawater. It is only connected to land at low tide. On the other side, there is a pavilion overlooking the sunset, which has become a great scenic spot in Bali.

puri saren

The Palace is located in Ubud, which is known as an important artistic town in Bali. The Palace was built in the 16th century and designed by famous artists. It has 6 rooms, and the whole palace is magnificent, especially the gate. The exquisite hand-carved and expensive gold foil decoration in the palace attracts many art lovers every year. In addition, many wonderful things can be enjoyed in the palace from 7: 3 in the afternoon.

There are descendants of the royal family living in the palace, but they need to work hard to make a living just like civilians. If you want to feel the extremely luxurious royal life in Bali, you can choose to stay at the Palace Hotel, but it is expensive.

Kyoto tamani volcano

Kyoto tamani volcano is an active volcano. It erupted in 1917, destroying countless shrines and villages. But it also brings the fertility of the land, and crops such as oranges, bananas, coffee and coconuts are planted around the volcano. The customs of villagers in this area are also different from those of ordinary Balinese. They don't carry out cremation or burial, but celestial burial.

Uluwatu Cliff

Uluwatu Cliff is located at the southernmost tip of Bali. There is a sad love tragedy behind it. Legend has it that there are young men and women who fall in love with each other. The woman's father is the village head, so their love can't get any blessing. In desperation, they both throw themselves into the sea for double suicide. It adds a bizarre color to this place. Enjoy afternoon tea here, taste local snacks, have a panoramic view of cliffs and oceans, and have unlimited flaws. There are many monkeys here, so tourists wearing glasses and watches should pay attention to safety.

Kimbaran Beach

Jimbaran Beach is the most intimate beach in Bali. It turns out that it is still a small fishing village, inhabited by the most simple villagers on the island. Since the beautiful hotel was built, it has attracted a large number of tourists who like nature at once. Kimbaran Beach is famous for its sunset at sea. What is commendable is that these commercial activities have not destroyed the original features of the small fishing village, but the villagers have made the whole beach very friendly with their unique enthusiasm and simplicity. Many hotels and restaurants have been added in the seaside. Watching the sunset here in the evening, listening to singers singing songs from various countries, enjoying candlelight dinners and seafood barbecues are not interesting.

Kuta Beach

kuta beach is known as the most beautiful coast in Bali, where the beaches are flat, the sand is white and fine, and it is a paradise for surfing and skateboarding. There are busy commercial streets near here, all kinds of traditional Balinese handicrafts and splendid national costumes are displayed, and there are also large department stores to buy all kinds of goods. Here, the beach is a good place to surf, and it is favored by the young people who are looking for excitement.

Hometown of Wood Carving

Bali is rich in Indonesian handicrafts, especially wood carving. For example, Mas is the hometown of wood carving in Bali, where the best sculptors in Bali are concentrated. Some of them occupy a lot of art galleries to display their works. The theme of the handicrafts displayed is mainly the life style of Hindu mythical figures and traditional residents, and there are also large-scale furniture such as complete sets of tables and chairs. However, if you only want to buy some cheap small carvings, it's better to buy them in small shops in other scenic spots, but the price is related to the material of wood and the fineness of carvers.

Condor Square

Garuda Wisnu Kencana in Kimbalan Bay, Bali, covers an area of 239 hectares. It's a square left over from Suharto's time. It's just a prototype and not finished. The reason why it is called Condor Square is that it was supposed to erect a bronze statue of the tallest Condor in the world. On the back of the Condor, the highest god in Bali, namely Wisnu (Vishnu in Sanskrit), is the protector of India's Trinity God. This bronze statue is all made of pure copper. It is said that it will be as high as 118 meters after completion, and the completed bust of the gods is 34 meters high. It is said that a monk once instructed Suharto that this bronze statue will protect Indonesia's national prosperity and people's happiness and peace after casting. Unfortunately, Suharto stepped down after the bronze statue only completed the head, chest and the head of the condor, and this costly grand project was stranded.

Ayong River rafting

The famous Ayong River rafting (boating) is the first self-funded water sports in Bali.

The Ayong River is 11 kilometers long, and there are 22 rapids flowing through it, and both banks are transformed scenes of virgin forests. You can join a drifting company.

The local unique Balinese macaques live in the forest. Bali residents believe that monkeys are subordinate to Hanuman, a monkey, and should be worshipped as gods. Therefore, the monkeys here live a carefree life and are fed by special people.

There is a temple outside the park, where many monkeys live and are regarded as sacred monkeys. It is said that these monkeys used to scratch people's houses, and local farmers were so upset that they had to build a temple (Pura Bukit Sari) in the forest to deter them. This temple, built in the 17th century, is not open to the public at ordinary times, but monkeys can come and go freely.

Padang Padang beach

Padang Padang beach, located at the foot of uluwatu mountain, is also called Badong beach by domestic tourists. It is a very pocket-sized beach, which has not been fully developed, because tour groups generally don't take tourists there, so there is basically no commercial atmosphere here. The beach is clear and white, and the scenery is pleasant.
