Is Bali tourism suitable for winter?

Bali and East Java, Indonesia are across the Bali Strait). This beautiful island has become a world-class tourist attraction because of its picturesque scenery and simple folk customs. When you walk on the beautiful beach, bathed in the warm Indian Ocean water, filled with green rainforests and wild flowers, you will feel extremely relaxed and comfortable. Of course, you can also choose surfing, diving, skydiving, or climbing the foothills of Jingdamani volcano and the volcanic lake scenic spot at an altitude of 1700 meters, enjoying the comfortable cool breeze and overlooking the volcanic smoke in the distance. The latitude of Bali is 8 degrees south of the equator and it has a tropical climate. There are only two seasons in a year (April-11month dry season and1February-March rainy season), and the annual average temperature is about 28 degrees Celsius. So 65438+February is more suitable:)

Bali is a famous Indonesian tourist area, an island in the lesser sunda islands east of Java, with an area of more than 5,560 square kilometers and a population of about 2.8 million. The western part of Bali is about 1 thousand kilometers away from the capital Jakarta, and faces Java Island, where the capital Jakarta is located, across the sea, only 1.6 kilometers apart. Because the island is located in the tropics, influenced by the ocean, the climate is mild and rainy, the soil is very fertile, the seasons are green, the flowers are in full bloom and the trees are towering.

Bali Tourism-Shopping

There are many souvenirs worth buying in Bali, such as wood carvings, various paintings, exquisite handmade gold and silver jewelry, masks, batik fabrics and so on. Native products include coffee beans, curry powder, shrimp slices, essential oil and so on. , suitable for personal use or gifts to relatives and friends. Please remember to bargain when shopping. In Indonesia, if you are not sure what to buy, you'd better not ask the price, let alone bargain.

The silverware in Bali is not only plates, wine glasses and the like, but also jewelry with unique design. Exquisite silver jewelry is not as gaudy and ostentatious as gold jewelry, but has an elegant taste.

Coffee is a specialty of Indonesia, and the quality of Indonesian coffee is among the best in the world. There are coffee shops in Bali, and supermarkets have many brands and packages to choose from.

Badibu is a local traditional batik cloth, which is used for sarong or decoration. Very effective, warm and elegant, making people happy to eat and greatly increasing their appetite. Now many buddies have improved, which is more suitable for people in different places to buy and use.

Kaimenu handicraft factory

Exquisite wood carving products can be seen everywhere in craft factories. The figures carved by craftsmen are lifelike, from fingers to real people. Shiny meat cutters fly between fingers, and pieces of dead wood instantly become works of art in different shapes. It is reported that about 5,000 family workshops in Bali are engaged in the production of traditional handicrafts such as wood carving, batik and painting. Visitors are free to buy their favorite handicrafts when visiting.

tablecloth

Many fine Balinese tablecloths used in restaurants, restaurants and high-end houses are made by local JENGGALA KERAMIK BALI. Brent Hesselyn, a New Zealand designer and ceramist, has been making high-quality handmade pottery for 20 years. You can buy them in Surrey Bumi (in KAFE BATU, Kimbarl). Address: jalandan au tamblinganNo.152 in Sanur, and the new factory on Uluwatu II road in Kimbaran.

Shopping places:

You can buy many handicrafts in Ubud, and the market is located in Jalan Raya and Monkey Forest Road. For example, there are all kinds of wood carvings, bamboo carvings and sarongs in Pasadeni Kukawati.

Sanur's shopping is relatively concentrated. Sanur art market includes wood carving, oil painting, batik and so on. Other famous markets in Sanur include Pasar Sindhu morning market and Pasar Pantai Sanur handicraft market. You can also go deep into Sanur's handicraft village to buy artworks and handicrafts.

Kutta and Regian are also booming. Beach clothes, T-shirts, trousers, other clothes, shoes, leather goods, shells, trinkets, etc. It's very cheap in many shops (much cheaper than in hotels). Kuta Square is the most popular shopping center, including many shops, Matahari department store branches, supermarkets and so on. Galeria Nusa Dua has more than 80 stores selling all kinds of goods for you to choose from.

Remind you not to shop in the duty-free shopping wholesale mall! Local products are very expensive, such as a bottle of HATTEN rose red wine made by Sanur, which is more expensive than all local restaurants! If you want to buy beautiful French tops, designer purses, jewels or skirts for special occasions, it is absolutely not recommended that you go to DFS to buy them: all imported goods you buy in DFS, including clothes and accessories, will be sent directly to the airport for you and cannot be used in Bali. You should be especially careful when you go to a tourist attraction like the Temple of the Sea. For example, a fake artist in Baliaga village of Tenganan deliberately set a high price (even selling jet-dyed fabrics instead of woven fabrics) because he knew the price of fake "antique" textiles very well.

Tourism in Bali-Food Back to the Peak

Bali can not only taste Indonesian food and local food, but also taste food from all over the world, such as Chinese food, western food and Japanese food. Balinese roast suckling pig (Babi Guling), spicy chicken (Ayam Pepes), spicy fish (Ikan Pepes) and fried chicken (Ayam Goreng) are especially famous. Bali is rich in drinks and fruits, and coconut milk is a popular drink. Roast suckling pig is cooked and roasted with banana leaves, herbs and spices on slow fire. The whole body is golden and shiny, the skin is thin and tender, and the aroma is overflowing.

A sightseeing street worth visiting.

Along the Raja Pantekuta Street in kuta beach, because of its superior geographical location, it is mostly occupied by resort hotels and restaurants; Ji. Legian, which is parallel to the rear, has gradually developed into a key street with restaurants, playgrounds, bars and restaurants as its hinterland is wider and longer.

Jinbalan beach barbecue

The sunset barbecue at Kimbaland Beach has both beautiful sunsets and delicious seafood barbecues, and you can sit in the moonlight under the beat of the waves. To go to the seaside, you must go through the barbecue area and walk with your back to the wind, otherwise you will be smoked to tears.

On the crescent-shaped beach, large and small restaurants are lined up, and tables, chairs and pergolas for guests to eat are scattered on the beach. Any corner is the best place to enjoy the sunset. Order a seafood barbecue, two rice and some cold dishes, plus a bottle of beer and a bottle of drink. Sit down and wait for the service. The sun just slowly sets below the sea level. The whole beach is golden yellow, and the photos taken are beautiful. The seafood barbecue uses dried coconut shells as fuel, with butter and garlic and local curry sauce, which is delicious. When it gets dark, the waiter will light two candles for each table. The candlelight on the beach is connected together and beats with the sea breeze. Not far from the hill, there is also a little candlelight.

In Bali, the price of breakfast in a better hotel ranges from 8 to 30 dollars per person, and dinner is about 20 to 70 dollars. Eating in a restaurant outside the hotel can save about 60% to 80%.

Different diving spots have different prices. Generally speaking, the cost of diving for one day is about 60 to 90 dollars. In order to make the underwater trip safe and pleasant, remember to find a diving company with a formal license, where there are professional coaches. Besides, don't forget to get a diving permit.

Tanah Lot

The Temple of the Sea was built on a boulder by the sea. It is one of the most famous temples in Bali. At high tide, the temple is surrounded by seawater and completely isolated from the land. We can communicate at low tide. The Temple of the Sea was built in the16th century to worship the sea god. 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. There are many souvenir shops on both sides of the temple, and many children sell scenic postcards around tourists.

Tilta ember

Pura Tirta Empul (Shengquan Temple) is located in Tampak Siring in the north of Ubud. This temple is named after a sacred spring.

For more than 1000 years, Balinese people thought that the temple and two baths here could be used for health and wealth. It is said that the springs here are very effective. The architectural model of Shengquan Temple is grand and complete, and the characteristics of all temples in Bali can be seen here.

According to legend, a Maya Danava king who liked to brag about his magic attracted the challenge of the gods. Maya Danava was defeated by Indra and turned into a poisonous spring. Many gods died because they drank or bathed in spring water. So Indra, the god, inserted his sword into the earth, pulled out the immortal spring named Amata, and revived the poisoned god. Mayadanawa turned to stone and escaped. Indra saw it. She pointed the arrow at the stone, and Maya Danava's blood flowed into Patanu River. Since then, people think that the Petanu River is cursed and cannot be used for irrigation. Otherwise, the harvested rice stalks will vomit blood. According to ancient inscriptions, Tilta Empler was built in 962 AD.

jinta magni volcano

Jingdamani volcano is an active volcano. 19 17 volcanic eruption destroyed countless temples and villages. But it also brought fertility to the land, and crops such as oranges, bananas, coffee and coconuts were planted around the volcano. The customs of villagers in this area are also different from those of ordinary Balinese. They don't practice cremation or burial, but celestial burial.

It rains all year round in Mao Mao, and the climate is cool.

Uluwatu

Uluwatu Cliff is located at the southernmost tip of Bali.

Behind it is a sad love tragedy. Legend has it that a young man and a young woman fell in love, and the woman's father was the village head, so their love was not blessed, and they both threw themselves into the sea in despair. It adds a strange color to this place.

Enjoy afternoon tea here, taste local snacks, and have a panoramic view of cliffs and oceans.

jimbaran beach

Kimbaland Beach is famous for its beautiful sunset and the special working style of fishermen.

Running on the beach in the morning and evening is a pleasure. Fishermen here still use ancient and simple wooden boats to go out to sea.

Many hotels and restaurants have been added to the seaside. Watching the sunset in the evening, listening to singers singing songs from various countries and enjoying seafood barbecue here are meaningless.

Kuta beach in Bali

Kuta is called the most beautiful beach in Bali. The beach here is flat and the sand is white and delicate, making it a paradise for surfing and skateboarding. There are bustling commercial streets near here, displaying all kinds of traditional Balinese handicrafts and splendid national costumes, and there are also large department stores to buy all kinds of goods. However, in recent years, this transitional development has been greatly influenced by western culture. The extreme commercialization and pornography have brought a fierce impact on the original simple folk customs here.

Woodcarving village

Bali is rich in Indonesian handicrafts, especially wood carvings. For example, Mas is the hometown of wood carving in Bali, where the best sculptors in Bali are concentrated.

Some of them occupy a large number of art galleries to display their works. We can see the sculptor showing his craft on the spot, and another group of women are doing detailed polishing. You can compare all kinds of wood carvings and add some common sense. They also sell some works.

The handicrafts displayed are mainly about religious mythical figures and the lifestyle of traditional residents, as well as large furniture such as complete sets of tables and chairs. However, if you just want to buy some cheap small carvings, it's better to go to small shops in other scenic spots, but the price is related to the material of wood and the fineness of the carver.

Introduction of self-funded water sports:

Ayong River rafting (boating)

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

The length of Ayong River is 1 1 km, and there are 22 rapids flowing through it. The two banks are the transformation scenes of virgin forests. You can join a drifting company. There are many drifting companies, and the drifting time is different. But it is best to choose an insured and professional water tutor to accompany you.

Generally, there are 4-6 people on the rubber boat, and the whole journey is not less than 2 hours. On the whole line, the oncoming landscape is suddenly lush Woods and suddenly vast fields; Suddenly it was a gloomy bat cave; Suddenly turned into a beautiful waterfall, changing endlessly, amazing. No wonder many tourists feel that they didn't know the real Bali until they drifted on the Ayong River.

The ship of love sails for the sea.

There are many companies in Bali that offer sailing activities, with different conditions and contents. But the most famous ones are "Fast Silver" and "Eight Caspian Seas". The love activities of these two shipping companies are similar in content and price. Generally, full-day tours (coming back at 9: 15- 15:30) and night tours (coming back at 18:00-20:30) are arranged.
