As for the visa materials and time duration mentioned above, please verify it yourself

You don’t have to worry about Bali’s visa on arrival If you need U.S. dollars, I will give you the detailed information I found later

Bali Introduction: The famous Bali Island (Bali) is Indonesia A small island among more than 17,000 islands in the archipelago. It is one of the most beautiful and distinctive tourist destinations in Asia.

★ Bali’s latitude is located 8 degrees south of the equator. It has a tropical climate with only two seasons a year (the dry season from April to November and the rainy season from December to March). The average temperature throughout the year The temperature is about 28 degrees Celsius.

★ The main religious belief in Bali is Hinduism (AgamaHindu Dharma). Local residents fully express their belief in gods in elaborate temple buildings.

★ Bali and China also belong to the GMT+8 (note) time zone, so visitors to Bali do not need to adjust their watch time, and their daily routines are exactly the same.

★ Bahasa Indonesia is the official language of Indonesia and Bali. However, with the gradual development of tourism in recent years, most local people can speak a little English, and many shops have Chinese Logo and simple communication should not be a big problem.

★ Bali has summer all year round and has a tropical island climate. The climate type throughout the year is only divided into "dry season" (from April to October each year); "rainy season" (from November to March of the following year). ).

Exchange currency: You need to exchange U.S. dollars in advance. The local U.S. dollar to Indonesian rupiah is generally about 1:10,000. The exchange rate of Indonesian rupiah fluctuates greatly. It is recommended that you check the exchange rate of the day after arriving at the airport. If it is at a high level, you may wish to exchange more. The exchange rate at the airport on our trip was 1:11900, and when we exchanged it at the local MONEY EXCHANGE later, it became 1:9700. Everyone should prepare some change of 1 US dollar when exchanging, so as to facilitate tipping. A final reminder is that due to the large number of counterfeit U.S. dollars in the local area, U.S. dollars before 2000 are basically not accepted. The amount of Indonesian rupiah is too large, with a lot of zeros. It’s hard to get used to calculating prices when you first start shopping. Later, I gained experience, and usually just remove the three zeros at the end of the price tag to get a value that is almost RMB.

Local food: Indonesian fried rice, grilled pork chops, roasted suckling pig, and mango juice are all delicious. Here are some recommended restaurants and food.

★ The POPIES restaurant in the Kuta area of ??Bali is a restaurant set up in the garden of its own courtyard. The style is a bit like Huajiayiyuan in Beijing (I included it in the itinerary introduction later in this article Picture, sisters can take a look). The salads, Indonesian fried rice, grilled chicken, and freshly squeezed mango juice in this restaurant are delicious. When paying the bill at a local restaurant, you need to pay an additional 11% tax on top of the dish price, which will be automatically included in the bill.

★ The DIRTY DUCK in Ubud, Bali is also delicious. The roast duck here is fragrant and crispy, and is as delicious as the roast duck in Beijing! In addition, Indonesian fried egg rice and kebabs are also good. This restaurant is located in a farmland separated from the street. You can enjoy delicious food under the coconut trees in the courtyard and watch the smoke rising from the kitchen in the distance. It feels a bit like Lijiang's countryside. You can call in advance to reserve a table: 0361-975489

★ The roasted suckling pig (Babi Guling) opposite Ubud Palace is a famous Balinese dish. The whole suckling pig is stuffed with spices and roasted on the fire. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender. Eat with rice. It’s so delicious! The roast suckling pig here was once considered by some diners to be the most delicious roast pig rice in the world. Don’t miss it!

Accommodation recommendations: Locals generally choose to stay in three places. Nusa Dua Beach, Kuta Beach and Ubud area.

★ Nusa Dua Beach is full of luxurious five-star hotels. It is very quiet and the hotel environment is so beautiful that you will be stunned! It’s so relaxing to hear the waves crashing on the beach at night! If you want to have a leisurely vacation, this place really feels like a paradise.

★ Kuta Beach is a lively place with a lot of people. The beach is full of people sunbathing and various small vendors. There are also many famous local rock and roll singers singing and dancing. , there are many dazzling small shops on the streets. It is a good choice for friends who like liveliness and shopping.

★ Ubud is an inland mountainous area. The palace here is full of mystery, and descendants of the royal family live in the backyard. The museums, cafes and other places here have the quiet style of a tropical rainforest home. .

Especially in the hotels here, each tourist family has an independent small yard, where they can bathe outdoors and feel the beauty of nature. The whole place has a bit of a Lijiang-like feel.

Transportation: The main modes of transportation in Bali include the following. Sisters can choose according to their needs.

★ Flights: There are two airlines to Bali: Garuda Air and Singapore Airlines. It is recommended that you choose flights with Singapore Airlines, the service is very good. If you are traveling with a girl who is airsick, it will be more comfortable to find a seat near the emergency exits and aisles in advance. If it is a honeymoon, inform the airline in advance and the newlyweds will be given a honey moon cake and two glasses of champagne. If you can't finish the cake, the stewardess will help pack it up and take it away, which feels very warm.

★ Taxi: For local taxis, choose blue bird. There are English signs on the windows and the driver wears a Blue Bird uniform. The price and service are very good. The fee is RMB 4 per kilometer. Local cars drive on the left side, so be careful when crossing the road or driving. It's best to avoid white taxis, which are often unwilling to pay metered fares and deliberately charge foreign passengers high fares.

★ Chartered car: This is the contact information of the local tour guide and chartered car driver. You can contact them in advance to discuss the itinerary and price. Generally speaking, chartering a car costs US$35 for 8 hours a day. We chose Maruto for this trip. He is a very kind and kind-hearted young man who can speak Chinese. He always picked us up on time and helped us negotiate prices for shopping and travel. The last *** served us for 12 hours and only charged us $35. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone choose to use his chartered car. It will definitely make you feel that it is worth your money.

Entertainment items: When traveling to Bali, the main thing is to feel the beach, waves and sunshine. Therefore, I suggest you not to make your itinerary too full and tiring. Take two days to play with the waves, bask in the sun, feed the birds and squirrels, and give your soul a complete long vacation!

★ spa: Bali’s spa is very famous. You can go and experience it during your breaks. Spas in five-star hotels are generally more expensive. It is recommended that you choose a more famous local shop to experience it. The zen spa in Ubud is said to be very good. After finishing it, you will feel as energetic as if you had slept for 9 hours. The address is right next to the famous local Dirty Duck restaurant. You need to book one day in advance to get a seat. Reservation phone number: 0361-970-976

★ Diving: You must do a dive in Bali to experience the beautiful underwater world. The colorful tropical fish and coral rocks are simply beautiful! A typical dive here costs about $60 to $90. Netizens generally recommend choosing a diving company with a formal license. Maruto, our tour guide on this trip, helped us contact a diving company. He helped us negotiate the price to US$70 for two people, which was so cheap that we were pleasantly surprised. But this company does not have a license. According to Maruto, the licenses here are all bought, and it doesn't matter whether they have it or not. We felt that the company he introduced looked very professional, and there are many Taiwanese people diving here. Our instructor is also very professional. With his protection, we feel very safe underwater. He will always hold on to our life jackets. If we feel slightly uncomfortable, he will immediately bring us to the surface.

★ Rafting: Rafting in Bali is also very exciting and costs about twenty dollars per person. There are generally two places for rafting, AYUNG RIVER and TELEGA WAJA. The latter is newer and more remote. According to the international rafting level, AYUNG is mainly level 2-3, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way. In TELEGA WAJA, a small part is level 4, which is more exciting. The rafting company is responsible for hotel pick-up and drop-off, which is relatively close to UBUD but far from the seaside (UBUD takes about 1 hour, while the seaside takes 2-2 hours and a half). Therefore, when choosing rafting, you must arrange your time according to your itinerary.

★ Beach water sports: Water sports near NusaDua Beach include 1-hour jet ski, 1-hour glass boat, and snorkeling. The three activities total $35 per person. There is also a seaplane which is also fun. You can try it if you have time.

Shopping Tips: There are many interesting local products that you can buy. Here is a brief introduction.

★ Convenience store: After arriving in Bali, it is inevitable to buy water and some snacks to take with you every day. Therefore, it is indispensable to visit convenience stores. There are many circle k convenience stores in the local area, which are somewhat similar to Qike in China. The store is not big, but it is very clean. It has daily necessities and the prices are reasonable.

The store's logo is a red circle with the English letter K in the middle. You can go to this kind of store to buy food. In particular, I would like to remind everyone that the local tap water in Bali (even if it is boiled) is not drinkable. You must drink aqua brand purified water. Generally, five-star hotels will provide unlimited supply. If you travel, you can go to a convenience store to buy some and take it with you. drink.

★ Handicrafts: The handicraft villages in Kuta or Sanur and the Ubud handicraft market feature wood carvings, paintings, masks, dyeing and weaving products. Very famous. You can buy some as a souvenir. Local vendors mark the prices at will and will warmly invite you to bargain. Generally, counteroffers start at 10% off, and more deals are made at 20% off. Don't waste money on hotel shopping malls and duty-free shopping malls, the prices there are astonishingly expensive.

Bali visa: You can apply for a visa on arrival locally. Just make sure your passport is valid for more than 6 months. After getting off the plane, go directly to the VISA ON ARRIVAL place and pay the money first (US10 within 7 days, 7- 30 days is US25), take the receipt, submit your passport, receipt, and entry form to the immigration inspection, stamp it, and it's over. The whole process, including queuing, only takes 10 minutes. It's very simple. Please be reminded that there is an exit card that comes with the entry card. The immigration officer will tear it off and put it in your passport. Be sure to keep it, otherwise you will be fined if you lose it when you return.

Safety taboos: Bali is a religious place, so you should pay attention to some safety taboos when traveling to avoid getting into trouble.

★ Don’t trample on offerings: Local Hindus in Bali wake up early every day to offer sacrifices to gods. Offerings are also placed not only in family temples, but also at the doorways of the streets. They are used to worship the devil (in their case In the teachings, ghosts and gods are a kind of balance, both worthy of respect), be careful not to trample on them. Do not stand in front of the locals when they kneel down to pray. It would be extremely rude to say the least, anywhere.

★ Use your right hand when communicating: When interacting with locals, you should pay attention to the distinction between left and right hands. For example, when tipping the waiter in a hotel, using your left hand without paying attention will attract angry looks.

★ Public security issues: Try to travel in groups, and it is best not to travel alone. It is recommended to buy overseas travel insurance before departure. Domestic Ping An Insurance, PICC Property and Casualty Insurance, etc. are also available at home, and the price is not expensive.

★ Pay attention to clothing: You are not allowed to wear shorts or short skirts when entering and leaving the temple. You need to rent a salon and belt for free outside.

Customs declaration: Tourists must not bring more supplies than they need for their own use. If you carry too many items, they may be confiscated by customs. You can freely carry foreign currency and Indonesian currency in and out of customs, but the amount of Indonesian rupiah you carry must not exceed 50,000 rupiah. It is best to declare to customs when carrying large amounts of foreign currency to avoid trouble when leaving the country. Another thing to note is that 150,000RP/person is required when leaving Indonesia, and only Indonesian Rupiah is accepted. This money must be reserved in advance.

Don’t forget to tip: Indonesia is a tipping country, and a tip is definitely welcome if you are satisfied with the service you received. The general standards are: hotel bellman: 2.000RP/item, hotel cleaning: 10,000RP/day (please note that tips must be given every day, if you stay in the same hotel for 3 days, you must tip for 3 days, otherwise There will be trouble), chartered driver: 10.000RP/day/person, rafting instructor: 10.000RP/boat (in addition, we sold him a bottle of drink, which is equivalent to 30.000RP per ***), SPA master: 5.000RP/ people. However, when dining in a restaurant, there is usually an additional tax and service charge of about 15%, so you will get all the change back when you check out, and there is no need to leave a tip.

Government Contact: If there is an emergency locally, don’t forget to contact the Chinese Government Embassy in Indonesia. ★ Embassy contact number: 006-221-5761039 (Communication Room)/5761037 (Office)/5761025 (Consular Department)/5761021 (Political Section)/5761032 (Cultural Section)
