On the island, you can usually see people on vacation: people around the island, carrying big bags and pedaling bicycles on mountain roads; Tourists wandering around the market in loose clothes; The undisguised sunshine beauty at the seaside and the honeymoon couple whispering in the open-air bar are enough for you to immediately adjust the pace of life to the slowest and most comfortable state.
Invincible beach
From a certain point of view, whether an island is charming or not depends largely on whether the seascape there is excellent enough. The beauty of Bali's seascape lies in abundant sunshine, bright colors, pleasant climate and abundant seafood. On Bali, from south to north, there are five beaches worth visiting, namely Nusa Dua Beach, Kimbaran Beach, kuta beach near the airport, Sanur Beach to the west of Denpasar, the capital, and Lovina Beach to the north.
Among them, Kimbaland Beach is the most private beach in Bali. A few years ago, it was a small fishing village, where the simplest villagers lived. Since the beautiful hotel was built, it has attracted a large number of Europeans who like nature to spend their holidays. 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. Although Kimbaran Beach is not as vast as Sanur and Nusa Dua, and it is not as bustling and noisy as Kuta, it has a lovely quiet beach and a sunset that can't be tired of watching every day. Here, no matter where people are in the world, they will suddenly lose their strangeness. At sunset, everyone sat around the beach, enjoying the beautiful sunset by the sea and enjoying a sumptuous seafood candlelight dinner. This kind of atmosphere is the most attractive place of Kimbaland.
believe
In addition to the charming beaches, Bali is also called "Fairy Island", and temples are the most important and distinctive buildings in Bali. Indonesians are mainly Muslims, but Balinese believe in Hinduism. The islanders' belief and obedience to Hinduism are fully reflected in their daily lives. The translation of the temple in Bali's local language is called Pura, which comes from Sanskrit and literally means a place surrounded by walls. These temples reflect the important position of religion in Bali life. After investigation, there are more than 10,000 temples in Bali. Although the architectural form of each temple has its own style at first glance, there is actually a pattern, that is, there will be a row of doors at each entrance, and the second door is the inner courtyard, where memorial activities are prepared. The third door is the main hall of God-the temple. There will be a wall around the whole temple, and even the place where you enter the gate will be blocked by a wall. The purpose of this wall is to prevent the devil from entering.
volcano
I remember a passage at the beginning of Lin Huaiyu's novel "The Passionate Rose" reads: "199 1 year, the Jintanmani Volcano Group in Bali. Time is not very important for new Yanran. The way she calculates the days is not based on the calendar, but on the seasons. She can speak Chinese and some simple English. An abandoned orphan wandered in this mysterious country like a wandering soul. Her parents died five years ago on an expedition to Mount Argonne. The volcano erupted, killing more than 1000 people. She is one of the few survivors. " This kind of writing is somewhat mixed with helplessness and sadness. Indeed, volcanoes have brought incalculable disasters to people. However, it is the fertile land formed by volcanic eruption that feeds people at the foot of the mountain. Balinese people are proud of the volcano, and even take Agung volcano as a spiritual symbol, calling it "the navel of the world". In Bali, there are intoxicating beaches, exquisite temples and mysterious active volcanoes in the middle of these islands.
go shopping
It is easy to find exciting commodities in Bali, because it is a concentrated place of handicraft art around the Indian Ocean, and many traditional handicrafts are well reflected here. The dazzling array of goods makes Bali a veritable shopping paradise. Almost all the people here are skilled craftsmen, and a considerable part of their daily life is dedicated to sacrifice, wood carving, painting and dancing.
Creative Balinese people are constantly pursuing trendy designs, attracting people from countries with different cultural backgrounds. Here, you don't have to spend a lot of money to buy fine works of art with good quality and low price, and even people with little cash can find many items to reward themselves. Bali is most famous for modern and traditional batiks and brightly colored fabrics, which are the best gifts for friends, followed by wood carving, silverware, clothing, antiques and paintings.
On the beach in Rovina, I was eating naked fish wrapped in banana leaves, accompanied by melodious guitar music played at the fingertips of the restaurant owner. The sea breeze takes away my troubles at the speed of n pieces per second ... how to describe Bali, Coconut Forest Beach? Beautiful countryside? Free land? I really don't know ...

exchange rate
1200 rupees or so 1 RMB. It's best to check the exchange rate of rupee on the bank website before going abroad, so as to judge the exchange rate provided by the other party. Street print shops can exchange money with confidence. The exchange rate of Ubud in Bikou Tower is better, but the difference is within 100 rupees. ATM is very convenient, but it is not cost-effective to make up for it in China. I don't know whether the exchange rate is bad or the bank charge is too high.
