Things to note when traveling to Bali

Bali is a popular holiday destination for tourists from all over the world. It has become very popular in recent years because its natural environment and climate are very comfortable, and various infrastructure and entertainment projects are newly built. In particular, the hotels here are world-class and attract many Western tourists. Let’s introduce it in detail below.

: Things to note in Bali

1. It is best not to eat at roadside stalls locally. It has to do with local water quality. Some vendors do not change the water during the preparation of food, so it is best not to eat it.

2. It is recommended to drink bottled mineral water for the same reason as above.

3. Don’t wear too ostentatious jewelry (especially necklaces), and try to avoid going out after 7 pm. Especially girls who go out to play by themselves must pay attention to this and walk inside. The local streets are narrow and motorcycles are the main means of transportation. It’s a bit scary to see those motorcycles speeding down the road at night, and it’s easy to snatch bags and jewelry. Once valuables are robbed, it is difficult to accept even if they are found by the local police. In many cases, they have nowhere to go. If your passport and other important things in your bag are robbed, you can only solve the problem in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, and you will probably have to stay there for a month, which is very troublesome.

4. Take care of yourself as much as possible when traveling. The local registration fee is 300 or 600 (RMB), and the waiting time is long, which is quite troublesome.

5. Most local residents are warm and friendly, but ignore compliments from strangers. You know all the reasons, safety comes first.

6. If you want to buy something in a duty-free shop, it is best to buy it on consignment or deposit it in a domestic duty-free shop. Some products in Bali airport duty-free shops are more expensive than in China.

7. If you are traveling in a large group and want to buy some specialties at the convenience store next to the hotel, you can buy them earlier instead of at the end of the trip (this is only for popular specialties, such as sunscreen) , because some store clerks will raise prices. For example, when we bought sunscreen on the first day, it cost about 70 RMB. When we wanted to buy more in a few days, the price was only 120 RMB.

: Necessary items

1. Passport and copies, one-inch and two-inch photos, air tickets and hotel reservations.

5. If you do not buy a local mobile phone card, it is best to enable international roaming for your mobile phone.

6. Commonly used drugs (stomach medicine, cold medicine, antidiarrheal medicine, sesame oil, band-aids, motion sickness medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, etc. Carry appropriate amounts) to prevent discomfort caused by adapting to the environment.

Taboos of temple fairs in Bali

Temple fairs in Bali happen all year round, hundreds of times. It's not easy to miss them. When participating in these temple fairs, you need to pay attention to the following points:

Do not touch the heads of Balinese people, because this is disrespectful to Hindus.

The left hand is considered unclean, so try to use your right hand when in contact with people.

To participate in a ceremony, temple celebration, or simply enter a temple, you need to wear a sleeveless jacket, a skirt and trousers that cover your knees, and a belt. Women during menstruation are not allowed to enter the temple.

If you are not ready to sincerely pray and receive the blessings of Balinese religion, please do not enter the prayer area of ??the temple. You can visit Bali's social events, night markets, and outdoor dance and theater performances.

You can speak or do other things before and after prayer, but you must be solemn and focused when praying.

Any person who has been eaten by the gods can eat the various sacrifices after the sacrifice, except for insects and animals such as ants, chickens, and ducks. The evil spirits who offered sacrifices on the earth robbed them of their food.

You can take photos during temple celebrations, but please do not walk in front of kneeling prayers. Please do not sit higher than the priest or priest, and do not use flash to take photos of the priest. Please be respectful.
