"I'm on a cliff, and the wind from the Indian Ocean blows up my skirt.
Red clouds fill the sky, and the boundary between the sea and the sky devours the sun.
The night falls, the stars scatter in the night sky, and the sea is vast.
The world is still, and I sleep on the sea of stars. "

Preface 1
Bali gives me the most profound impression is "so and so star wedding" place, if put in the past, never thought will go.
The first time I had the idea of going to Bali was last November when I talked with my friends in a coffee shop.
I had just returned from Europe and he had just returned from Bali. After exchanging some travel experiences, I suddenly fell in love with this island flooded with honeymoons and weddings.
Later, I went to some cities where it would snow, and then returned to Guangdong. I didn't adapt to the indoor and outdoor temperature. My parents planned to drive to the north with my uncle's family, but I just wanted to live in a safe place in Southeast Asia for a new year, so I sent a text message to my cousin, saying: can I go to Bali for 20 days?
Capricorn really does not live up to my love, cousin immediately back: OK.
The journey of the two sisters was decided. Rush to express uncle's annual holiday to buy a lot, just to make some happy movies.

Preface 2
I don't remember when I didn't like to plan my trip in advance. There is always a gap between the data and the reality. If you like it, stay longer. If you don't like it, don't go. It's not for the sake of microblogging or positioning in the circle of friends.
As for information checking, I'm really lazy this time. After all, my friend's experience of going to Bali five or six times a year can serve as my personal database at any time. Besides, the transportation between Bali and Longmu island is not only a matter of chartering a car, but also a matter of taking a boat. For destinations specializing in tourism, these problems are no longer a problem. In addition, my friend gave me his familiar driver wechat, which saved me the time to find a chartered car.
So spare a lot of time to go online shopping, but also more time to design clothes to take travel. In addition to drawing manuscripts, he refused gundad's invitation to Spain.
Gundad: 20 days in Bali?! Are you going to get pregnant?
Me: Well... If you meet a handsome guy, it will make you proud.
Gun Dad
As a matter of fact, I did, but I counseled that for the love affair of travel, the chance marriage has always been a kind of opera mentality.

Pre trip preparation
1. Clothing. Indonesia only has summer, so it's OK to wear summer clothes. It's suggested that girls try to wear long skirts to prevent mosquitoes. It's not easy to dry clothes when you go out in rainy season. It's better to bring two more sets of close fitting clothes. Sunglasses, umbrellas and hats are essential. Shoes with sandals, slippers, if you want to climb the volcano to bring mountaineering shoes.
2. Drugs.
Take essential balm and all kinds of anti mosquito and anti itching things. Mosquitoes in tropical areas are very powerful.
- carsickness paste and carsickness cream. Some roads in Bali are very rough. Students who will get carsick should prepare medicine.
Zhengchang pills and hemostatic stickers are necessary for going out.
3. Equipment. Because my cousin is a complete mobile phone party, I still have to take a self portrait by myself. Before going out, I went into a portable tripod. Equipment or 5d3 + 24-70, a7 + FE35, this time with a square filter to play.
4. Mobile Wi Fi
Go out must bring mobile Wi Fi, this time rent roaming treasure, signal is good, mobile phone notebook can be used at the same time, much better than the phone card.
5. Others.
- passport holder, which is very recommended for everyone. If you clip your boarding pass and entry card together, you won't be afraid that you can't find them.
- conversion socket, it is recommended to buy a lifevc, which has 2 more USB ports than the general universal conversion plug, which is very convenient and easy to use.
About entry and exit
1. Macao
- students who leave Macao, have passed the customs with their passport and have no visa should bring their e-tickets. Please note that it's e-tickets, not ticket orders. Take the printed e-ticket and passport to go through China Customs, go up to the second floor to a corner on the right, where it says "passport", fill in a form, give the e-ticket and passport to the staff, and wait for them to call their names to enter through the special passage.
- it should be noted that the length of stay in Macao has been shortened from seven days to five days.
- because I ordered Air Asia on Ctrip, I only answered the order by email, and only printed the ticket order when I passed the customs. Later, I called the customer service and asked for the order number of Air Asia. The six digit order number (this number is very important). The customs took the order number and asked us to queue up for entry only when they found that there was really my order.
2. Kuala Lumpur
Round trip are all Air Asia, all transfer in Kuala Lumpur, do not go out of the airport do not need to apply for a Malaysian visa.
3. Bali
- the landing visa costs US $35 and can stay for 30 days (I still need to apply for the landing visa when I arrived in Bali in February 2015)
- Bai Ben has no impact on travel (cousin is Bai Ben)
- Department on the plane The card will be torn off and sealed when handling the landing visa. The part of the entry card will be taken away. The departure card must be kept well and used when leaving.
- the departure tax in Bali is 200K rupees, and 45k rupees is also required to fly from Lombok to Bali.
Exchange
1. UnionPay card can withdraw money directly from ATM of BCA and Citibank. BCA can take up to 2000K each time. There are many BCA ATMs in Kuta, ubu and Senggigi, many of which are hidden in convenience stores. I didn't see an ATM that can withdraw money from UnionPay on Jili island. Remember to withdraw more cash before I go to Jili island.
Huaxia Bank's debit card is necessary for going abroad, but not every city has Huaxia Bank, and yu'ebao doesn't support transferring to Huaxia card, so it's better to prepare one or two more UnionPay cards.
2. There are many currency exchange points. You need to find a big one. When I go abroad, I hardly go to the exchange point to exchange foreign exchange. After deducting the exchange rate and handling charges, it's better to withdraw money with UnionPay card, which is cost-effective and safe.
3. International card. Visa and other international cards are easy to be embezzled. When swiping the card, try to bring a lower limit card, turn off the card free consumption function (if you can, you can call customer service for consultation), use opaque tape for the validity period and paste the numbers on the back.
4. Exchange rate. Next imoney app on mobile phone, check exchange rate at any time. The exchange rate between RMB and Indonesian rupiah is 1:2090 (April 2015). For currencies with large face value, it is easy to be confused. Generally, the unit is K (thousand). For example, 200000 rupees can be referred to as 200K for short, and then divided by 2, which is equal to 100 RMB.
traffic
1. Bali
- the airport in Bali is Denpasar. Bali can't be found on the electronic display board at the airport. The English name of Bali airport is Denpasar International Airport (three word code DPS).
- in addition to direct flights, flights to Bali usually transfer in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore or Manila. Kuala Lumpur is the most convenient choice because you don't need to apply for a visa for a transfer; If you choose to transfer to Singapore, you may need a Singapore visa according to the different combinations of airlines.
- when you get out of the airport arrival hall, go through the pick-up area and go ahead. Turn left and go straight to see the taxi counter. Turn right and go straight to see a row of ATMs. Among them, BCA's ATMs can be cashed with UnionPay cards. Pay from the taxi counter to buy a taxi ticket. It's a dark blue non Bluebird taxi. This kind of taxi doesn't have a watch. It's a real price. After buying the ticket, the driver will take you to the taxi parking lot for a ride. Someone will come to help you with your luggage. After that, they will ask for a tip of $1 per person. If they don't need it, they will refuse directly.
- try to take a bluebird taxi with a light blue body (the lightest one with blue on it) It's very formal and relatively cheap, starting at 7000rp.
- in Bali, it's usually a chartered bus. It's about 250-300 RMB a day for 8 hours. Sometimes the driver will act as a tour guide. The wechat of my bus driver in Bali: moyolegian 479.
- ships from Bali to Gili or Longmu are sent from padangbai port. Padangbai is close to ubu. The tickets from ubu to Gili island are delivered to padangbai by parcel. We have a one-way ticket of 250K per person. You can book the tickets from the hotel owners. They all have familiar booking agents, or there are many booking agents in the alley opposite the palace.
SECTION 2
Geely has three islands, ATM for short. T island is the largest and busiest, while a island and M Island are still relatively primitive. All three islands are good for diving and the beaches are beautiful. Like the lively choice of T Island, like the quiet choice of a island. There is a fixed departure time between the three islands.
- the ticket booth of T island is in the white room on the left side of the wharf. The ticket price will be cheaper than that of the agent. You can only buy tickets of the same day and open at 9 a.m.
- the ticket office of island a is by the dock.
There are no cars or motorcycles on the three islands of Gili. The only means of transportation are carriages, bicycles and boats.
3. Longmu Island
- there are bangsal and lembar docks from Bali or Gili to Lombok. In general, fast boats go to bangsal, while lembar has slow boats to and from the two islands. From Gili island to Senggigi, you go to bangsal wharf first, and then the shipping company has a free shuttle Bus takes the guests to Senggigi.
- the transportation in Longmu island is mainly by chartered cars and taxis. It's easy to find a chartered car in the hotel.
- the flight from Longmu airport to Bali is very cheap. I can buy about 100 RMB tickets when I go to the airport on the same day.
Travel time: February 12-march 2, 2015
Kuta, Bali
The beginning and the end of a journey are always a bit of a toss.
Starting from Macao, we have to change planes in Kuala Lumpur.
On the first flight, an Indonesian uncle sat by the window, chatting with us in poor Mandarin. He had to sleep when I was asleep. In his deafening snoring, I reluctantly opened my eyes and looked out of the cabin. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and met me. He asked me again, are you traveling with your family? Still in high school?
Failed to make up for sleep, leading to sleeping directly on the shoulder of the handsome blonde next door on the second flight. I didn't wake up until the stewardess came to issue the entry card. I turned to look at the handsome man and wanted to say sorry, but he handed me the pen and asked me if I needed it. I took the pen and filled in the entry card and went to sleep. In such a small episode, the flight has arrived in Bali.
With a passport, an entry card on the plane, a $35 queue and other landing signs. I didn't meet the "blackmail" in the legend, but I think the visa officer is very kind; Also smashed the online overwhelming visa free rumors.
Coming out of the immigration hall, the door was full of people with signs or waving. If I hadn't been in low spirits for most of the flight, I would have taken out my sunglasses, put on my mask and hat, and then took a picture of myself and sent it to my circle of friends.
My cousin rolled her eyes and said, "pretend.
The first thing to do in Bali is lunch.
The advantage of not having a strategy is that you don't go to restaurants that are highly recommended and crowded with tourists. According to past experience, eating these restaurants will only make you disappointed. So follow your own way - eat where you go.
The first meal was at a semi open restaurant on the mall. Apart from the uncle in the opposite shop waving and winking at us all the time, the lunch was extremely satisfying. Two entrees, two cups of fresh juice, only 150k, equivalent to more than 70 yuan. It's really cheap. I'm afraid some five-star hotels and restaurants in China can't match the attentiveness and enthusiasm of the waiters.
So I left 10K as a tip when I checked out. In fact, the bills of most restaurants in Bali already include taxes and service charges. It's OK to tip or not. According to my cousin, it's "you can give it when you look at people's eyes, and you can be rich and willful."
I just took 2000K rupiah from ATM and pulled it. A strong country is good. It's convenient to withdraw money with UnionPay card abroad. BCA, which supports UnionPay withdrawal in Indonesia, has a wide distribution of ATMs, and most of them are hidden in convenience stores. After many times of verification, each time up to 2000 K, equivalent to less than 1000 yuan.
Even in the "city" of Kuta, local people still like to sit on the street. After living in Kuta for four or five days, Indonesian men sitting on the roadside always chat up one or two words when walking through the commercial street. Kuta's men's flirting with female tourists is commercial. I laughed at this, after all, compared with the European chat up is more clear In the case of something, this kind of chat up is nothing but praise or love, but my cousin said she couldn't accept it.
Every store in Kuta basically sells the same goods, but the prices are very different. I don't know if the bottle opener in the shape of an organ of a man with thick arms is considered sexual harassment? The bottle opener was sent to the circle of friends. As a result, it was very popular and group buying was required. Holding the attitude of "no one here knows me anyway", we asked about the price. The first aunt offered a price of 300K, so we turned around and left. The aunt said that she would give us a 50% discount for seeing that we were lovely. Finally, I saw 50K available in a real price shop.
The little shops in Reagan are not very interesting, discover We didn't go either. After all, compared with Hong Kong and Macao, the price here is not very attractive. The convenience stores here are interesting. There are plenty of snacks and drinks. Well, Wi Fi is the main thing.
In Bali, it's easy to see souvenirs based on a male organ: small keychain, huge bottle opener, exaggerated boxwood ashtray, etc.
After all, more than 90% of Indonesia's population is Muslim. It's a taboo for Islamic countries to display male organs publicly, let alone peddle them at will. However, Bali is an exception. Due to various historical reasons, 94% of the people on the island believe in Hinduism. It is well known that the worship of male roots originates from Hinduism. The male roots are called "Linga", which is a symbol of the fertility of the great god Shiva and respected by people. So in Bali, the appearance of a variety of male organ modeling products is the most normal.
The beach in Kuta is just average.
After a short walk to the beach in the evening, I felt bored. The child who had been photographing for a long time turned out to be a compatriot. Only then did I realize that it was very difficult to photograph "local people" in Kuta Beach, so I went back to the hotel, put down my camera and went out easily.
It's the regen street that's fun at night. The bars stretch all over the street. The more night, the more lively it is. Most of the bars are foreigners, The streets are full of people. There are European and American people in the bar is particularly fun, they play crazy, see you stare at them, will come to pull you to dance.
After a little drink, I went back to the hotel before 11 o'clock. After all, before I left, the front desk repeatedly told me to come back at 10 o'clock and ask them to pick me up later. I rolled my eyes, lazy result is "let someone help you book a hotel and keep track of your whereabouts, by the way, ask the hotel staff to stare at you."
It turns out that Regent Street is not so dangerous at night, but it is not very safe. The two girls had better go back to the hotel early.
Lover cliff
February is the rainy season in Bali. Different from the rainy season in China, it usually rains in the morning, and it will clear up soon.
There's nothing interesting about Kuta except killing chickens and horses in bars. There are more blonde tourists than local people. So wechat Moyo (driver from Bali) came to pick us up to uruwatu. I went to lover cliff on the way.
I suddenly remembered that it was Valentine's day, so I teased my cousin: since it's Valentine's day, I'll book a blue dot for you to sleep tonight. Booking can't find the Blue Point Hotel. It's a success to book a small suite on Ctrip. It's only about 1000. Although it proves that the cost performance of the room is not high after checking in, it's quite worthwhile to be "cheated" with a boundless swimming pool.
It's not a good choice to go to lover's cliff at noon. The sun is very hot and it's not good to take photos. According to the gun father's words, "the light is too dull.".
The car stopped outside, bought tickets, put on a gauze cage, and went in through an entrance that didn't look like an entrance. Valentine's cliff is really a lot of monkeys, into the slope of the road, fell a ground of insects! It's alive. It almost scared me to death. I always felt itchy all the way. Thanks to Moyo's wit, he took an umbrella to accompany us to the lover's cliff.
The legend of lover's cliff is hard to make up, but nowadays, as a scenic spot, it also needs some story packaging to attract tourists. In order not to waste the tickets, I stayed in the sun for half an hour. In fact, the scenery was ordinary, but the feeling of looking at the sea from the cliff for the first time was quite fresh.
(3) uruwatu
The blue dot is bound to come.
It's not the luxury of the hotel, but the unique location. In twenty days, the most beautiful sunset is seen at the blue dot.
After traveling more, I don't only like sunny days, but the weather is changeable. Just arrived at blue point, it was noon when heavy rain suddenly came. Cool the temperature, but also brought a grand fire cloud. On the edge of the infinity swimming pool connected to the Indian Ocean, drink welcome Drink, to see the afterglow of the setting sun, yellow the clouds in the sky bit by bit, and then red and purple, the color of the sky behind also gradually darkens, different levels of blue and sunset overlap, so appropriate.
It turns out that clouds are colorful.
Next to the pool is the glass church, a small room with white walls and glass. The wedding will be decorated with flowers. I saw the wedding in the glass church of blue dot for two days in a row, one of which was the wedding of my motherland compatriots. The church declined to visit during the wedding, but we could still see it lying by the pool. I really don't think it's romantic to witness the wedding that countless girls yearn for.
The blue dot infinity pool is actually not big, but from this point of view it seems to be connected with the Indian Ocean.
My cousin took all kinds of self portraits and sent them to her circle of friends. She said, "now we can install green tea.".
Me: would you like a watch?
Cousin: please call me green tea cousin later.
The legendary glass church.
At sunset, the open-air restaurant in blue dot is full of people watching the sunset.
Fire clouds appeared in the sky after the rain.
Uruwatu is a favorite of many people. Because of surfing.
You can walk down the path at the gate of blue dot, along the steps and pass by many bars, then you can reach the beach of uruwatu. Strictly speaking, it's not a beach. It's just a small piece of sand washed out by the sea under the cliff, but surfers all surf here. For non surfers, it is more suitable to find a pub built on a cliff, drink ice beer, watch the waves roll up bit by bit, and watch surfers gallop in the waves and be photographed by the waves. It's addictive to watch.
A boy with a surfboard was photographed on the beach when a big wave came. The sand under his feet loosened and he almost fell down. The little boy gave me a hand. When I said thank you, I noticed that there was a scar on his right face from the cheekbone to the alar of his nose, one finger wide. I don't know why such scars don't feel ugly on the boy's face. On the contrary, they have a kind of unspeakable handsome, just like the heart of the sword in the heart of the ronin's sword or the moon chanting in the soul of silver.
It is estimated that he has been staring at others for too long. The little boy smiles on his cool face, points to the scar and says that he was cut by a rock on a surfing trip. His tone is light, but there is a kind of pride in his eyes. We sat on the beach chatting for a while, exchanged contact information, and he put on his surfboard and went out to sea. What a handsome action! A 15-year-old boy
Surfer boy.
Urumwatu is not only a holy land for surfing, but also a great place to watch the sunset. The tavern on the cliff is a little lower than the blue dot. Although the view is not so wide, it has a different scenery.
After sunset, go to the slope road leading to blue dot. There is a small restaurant. The landlady is very interesting. At the age of 40 or 50, smoking has a special charm. At noon, we asked her the way. Later, we went to villa to change clothes and put on make-up. After passing her shop, she said hello to us from a distance and cared whether we got to villa.
So I had dinner at her house in the evening. There are not many restaurants near blue point. The price of this small shop is very cheap. I asked for two paella, and the bill was less than 100k.
It's about 200 meters from the restaurant back to Vila, and there are almost no street lights. The landlady was worried that the two girls would go back, so she said a few words to another blonde brother who seemed to be a familiar customer in the shop. The blonde brother said that he was going to the convenience store at the gate of Vila to buy things, so she gave us a ride along the way.
Muslims watching the sunset.
After taking a bath, I sit by the pool and let the night wind dry my hair. As soon as I look up, the whole galaxy falls into my eyes.
I went back to my room to take a photo of the starry sky with a SLR stand. Suddenly, a naked foreign man appeared on the edge of the pool, shouting "baby, come here". I think he was drunk. I pretended I didn't hear. I just finished taking a picture. The battery just ran out of power. I put away my camera and planned to go back to my room. The man stood up from the pool and asked, "what's your name, baby?" and began to take off his pants. I walked away calmly and quickly, went back to my room and locked the door.
As a result, such a beautiful starry sky took two photos, there is no more. For personal safety, all beautiful sceneries are floating clouds.
Beach field
Walk from blue point to Padang Padang beach is a one kilometer road with many detours and blind spots. Urumwatu is not a suitable place for car rental and self driving.
padang Padang is a small beach, which can be reached by walking down the stone ladder beside the bridge. The water is clean, from light blue to the sea level. The sand on the beach is very special. It's round like pepper. Later I saw this kind of sand in Kuta, Longmu island. There are big waves here, which are very suitable for surfing. There are many beautiful men and women in front of us.
I thought it was a quiet beach. I found that I could meet friends from all over the world here. I was also pulled by a group of Japanese girls to record birthday video for their friends. Um... It's a very legitimate Island video. Don't think it's crooked.
It was noon when I went back to the hotel. There were not many people on the road, but occasionally there were one or two motorcycles whistling by. It was a bit hot. I was walking and drinking with an iced coconut. At that time, my heart was cool and I never doubted the public security in Bali. However, because I didn't pay attention, something almost happened.
A skinny 15-year-old boy rides a motorcycle to and fro many times. I just think he is fond of playing. It's very common for teenagers to drive motorcycles in Bali. However, every time he came near us, his cousin was alert and tactfully carried the bag to the inside. Sure enough, when the boy passed by again, he reached for his cousin's bag. Fortunately, his cousin grabbed the bag, so he didn't succeed. I'm afraid he will turn back if he doesn't succeed. After all, there's only one way back to Vila, and it's easy for him to start. Fortunately, there was a restaurant not far ahead, so we hurried into it.
The water on padangpadang beach is gradually blue, which is also a good place for surfing.
In the restaurant with several foreign girls to study the boss's pet, a black bird was kept in a small fresh cage. Pets also ignore us with pride. After serving the dishes, the landlady came over and said with a smile, this is chicken
Wubu
Moyo picked us up in uruwatu at 1:30 noon. He said that it would take more than two hours for ubu. I don't know about the scenery along the way, because I am the kind of "sleeping creature in any vehicle".
But as soon as the car arrived, her cousin woke her up. Ubu is a world-famous art village in Bali, an important town of painting and art. On both sides of the road are all kinds of beautiful works of art. Moyo said that there are many art museums in ubu, and he also introduced art shops and museums with great interest along the way. It's worth mentioning that there are animals, people, gods, concrete and abstract statues at the door of every house. Basically, they can't be found.
I went to the B & B recommended by Moyo, which has only three or four rooms, so most of the time our two sisters own a big yard. The boss and his family were very friendly, so they stayed for three days in a row. There is a gallery in the B & B. when I hide from the sun at noon, I will sneak into the gallery to visit. I have to say that the quality of ebou's works of art is really high. All kinds of wood and stone carvings on the roadside kill me a lot. Basically, in addition to the irresistible factor of numerous mosquitoes, I can't be picky about Bali.
The hotel gallery.
Nest in the garden of the hotel Internet, the hotel only room has network, roaming treasure is very convenient.
B & B is a little far from the ubu palace, just walk to get familiar with the environment.
IBU recommended in strategy Oka roast pig and Lotus Restaurant are both near the ubu palace. After going, I can only say that I will not believe the restaurants recommended by the strategy in the future. There is No.2 shop for roast pig. It's hidden deep in a small box. Generally, restaurants in deep alleys are full of delicious food. If you think so, that's wrong. Roast pig is the worst food I've eaten in Bali for more than 20 days.
One day, I was wandering around the B & B, and I saw a small shop with four or five small tables full of local people. According to my experience, the things in this kind of shop must be good. So I went in for a taste. The store is very small. It only sells noodles and rice noodles with three or four kinds of materials. It's delicious and cheap. The most expensive one is 8K. When I left, I caught two packages of shrimp slices. It was so delicious that I couldn't describe it!
Later, I went to the store again. I don't know whether it was rare for foreigners to patronize or not. Several brothers in the store actually recognized us. One of the big boys saw me coming and hid in the kitchen door with a red face to peep. When checking out, he suddenly came out and stammered a few words. The people next to him saw us with a blank face, In standard English, he asked if he could take a picture of me. I said, of course, and then several mobile phones appeared around us, snapping at us
I like this painting very much.
A grocery cart.
The statue in front of the door is amazing.
It's said that ubu is a country place. In my opinion, it is more urban than the city, because the culture and art of ubu is much higher than other places in Bali.
There are three special things in ubu: first, temples. In addition to the small Imperial Palace, there are no less than dozens of temples. Second, there are cultural and art sites. There are only two or three roads in this city, but there are two large-scale museums. Secondly, there are galleries and various arts and crafts shops everywhere. In the suburbs, there are professional Silver Village, wood carving village, painting village and stone carving village, producing a large number of high-quality arts and crafts. Thirdly, there are many music and song and dance performances. Every night, there are many performances of kecak, Regong and shadow play. Although wubu is not as numerous as Kuta's bars, the rich song and dance performances can make up for the nightlife.
I don't go out in the middle of the day. This kind of hot and sunny time is most suitable for sitting in the arbor of B & B to cool off. It's a place where you can see birds playing in the sink. Ubu is really a lazy place, but rush is not suitable for here.
The horse is made of waste tires.
Ubu's doll.
It's a technical job to cross the road in Ubud.
There are no tickets for the ubu palace. In fact, it would be a shame to charge tickets for such a small place. Because the descendants of the royal family still live in the palace, only two small courtyards are open for visitors. In ubu, most of the dwellings are very big, and the imperial palace is not much bigger than that. It can only be said that their royal family is very thrifty. Wubu market is near the palace, and there are many restaurants. After dinner, I just came to watch the folk dance performance which starts at 7:30.
Water Temple
Charter a car at the price of 750k to turn around wubu. If you don't go to the water temple, you can charter a car at 450 km for a whole day.
But the water temple is one of the attractions Doris and I most want to visit.
Starting at eight in the morning, the driver is the owner of Doris' hotel. He is a boy under 30 years old. His English is good, but his pronunciation is a little Indian. After discussion, we followed this route:
Pura, the temple of water Ulun Danau - Kintamani - pura Tirta Empul ）－ Degelalang terrace （ Tegallalang）
Along the way, the weather was repeated. As soon as the car arrived at the top of the mountain, it began to rain heavily. There was no trace of jingdamani volcano in the rain and fog. The terraces pass by on the way back. Even the small place where I don't even bother to raise my camera is a scenic spot... The local people will cry when they see our Yuanyang terraces.
The water temple, also known as badur temple, is second only to Pura in the eyes of Balinese people A Hindu temple with the status of besakie. At first, the temple dedicated to the goddess of lake water was located in songan village under badur volcano.
Two major eruptions in 1917 and 1926 destroyed the village, but did not destroy the most sacred shrine in the temple, which added to the legend of the temple. After some villagers moved to the towering badur area, incense has been flourishing all the time, and there are a lot of believers. However, the temple site which was destroyed by the volcanic lava has been destroyed, The goddess temple was rebuilt according to its original appearance after the villagers who did not move away.
It happened to be a day for worshiping the goddess. A wave of villagers with their families poured into the temple. Women wear objects for worship on their heads, and everyone is smiling. It's not like we need to be serious when we worship. At first glance, we think we're going out for a picnic.
The villagers are all dressed in white clothes. The men's heads are wrapped with white cloth, and most of the women are dressed in white lace tops. Visitors were not allowed to enter the main hall. We walked along the lake to another piece of grass. A group of people were playing music. They saw me holding my camera and asked me to take pictures.
A group of lovely children took countless pictures with us. They spoke English very well and were quite professional in front of the camera.
No outsiders are allowed inside. They can only take pictures outside.
The villagers are playing music.
Wear traditional clothes.
Holy Spring Temple
Have lunch in a nearby restaurant before going to Shengquan temple.
The restaurant is located by the lotus pool, and the courtyard is planted with coffee trees and some strange plants. When we went in, a waiter showed us around, and there were several cages with the famous musk cat, the guy who pulled out the cat excrement coffee.
All the meals are packed with banana leaves. Indonesians seem to like beans very much. There is a kind of traditional food called Tempe, which is made of white mycelium fermented by soybeans and wrapped with soybeans. The bean cake is very chewy. It's sour after chewing. So that I chewed a few times and automatically avoided ordering dishes with Tempe.
Musk cat.
The set meal for four is made of banana leaves.
When you enter Shengquan temple, you also need to surround the gauze cage. I think the gauze cage in Bali is really good. It's nice to surround any one.
There is a magic story in Shengquan temple. It is said that during the war between the God of intela and the Lord of mayarenava, the God of intela, in order to bring the village name poisoned by the Lord back to life, uses the wand of the earth to make the spring of immortality gush out, to bring the people poisoned by the Lord back to life, and to help capture the Lord.
There are more than ten water outlets in Shengquan temple, which are still clear after thousands of years. Each outlet has different effects. Some can eliminate disasters, some can expel pain, and some can wash the soul. Residents nearby bathe here three times a day in the morning, middle and evening.
In the small springs where the spring water gushed out, there was an endless stream of people who went to soak in it. The villagers took the pots to take the holy water home.
Originally, I was not interested in these things, but I saw Doris's mother was very happy, so I went into the water with my cousin. As a result, the cousin who got up in the morning and said that her feet were so sore that she could hardly get out of bed said that her feet were not sore at all that night after soaking in holy water.
For more than a thousand years, Balinese people have believed that holy spring temple and its two bathing places can bring health and wealth. The spring here is said to be quite effective.
It is said that a king of mayadanawa, who likes to boast about his magic power, has been challenged by the gods. Mayadanawa was defeated by Indra, the God of heaven, and turned into a poisonous spring. Many gods died of drinking or bathing in springs. So Indra, the God of heaven, inserted his sword into the earth and named it amerta The spring of immortality revives the poisoned gods. Mayadanawa turned into a stone in order to escape. Indra takes the arrow to the stone, mayadanawa The blood of petanu River. From then on, it was believed that the petanu river was cursed and could not be used for irrigation; Otherwise, the harvested rice stalks will spray blood.
According to the ancient inscriptions, Shengquan temple was built in 962 ad.
People soak in the pool and wash under the outlet of the spring.
(8) terraces in de Gran
I don't know if terraces are a famous scenic spot in Bali?
Fortunately, this is just a place to pass by on the way back. The ticket is only 1 yuan. I would be very angry if I came to see it. The mountain under my hometown is bigger than it.
The road from terraced fields to wubu is very beautiful. The rice fields on both sides are green, and occasionally there are a few villas, which are comparable to those in Europe. I want to live next time.
Back in wubu, we can catch up with the sunset, but we can't find the commanding height. Wubu's houses are only two or three stories high. After shooting the sunset from the second floor of the B & B, I met my boss, who wanted to go to Jili island the next day, so he helped us book tickets. It's easy to travel in Bali.
That's the only thing about the de Gran terrace.
Gili island trawangan
There's shuttle in the morning Bus will pick us up at the gate of B & B to padangbai, then register at padangbai port and wait for us to board. Because I only ordered one-way tickets, the uncle who changed the tickets always encouraged me to buy two return tickets, saying they were open Ticket, you can give me a discount of 350K per person. I ha ha, I just bought 250K.
From Bali to the Geely islands, you go through the wharf of Longmu island and then to Gili A and then to Gili T。 While waiting at the dock, an uncle was issuing a slip. He had to paste the name of the island on which he went. Otherwise, he would easily get dizzy on the wrong island after three hours in the boat.
It seems that Indonesia's network is not good, because it has brought roaming treasure, so it has not bought Indonesia. But roaming treasure, which has played all over the world, has encountered blind spots in these islands in Indonesia.
Fortunately, I'm lazy, so all the hotels I ordered are the ones I saw when I got off the ship. Otherwise, we can only take carriage, because there are no other means of transportation on the island except carriage and bicycle.
After checking in, I plan to sign up for diving after lunch.
As a result, the tragedy came. My aunt really wanted to travel around the world with me, but her physiological period was ahead of time... She was dying, and she had no appetite to eat. When I checked out, the boss asked me if the food was not to my taste, so I had to say that there were too many portions to finish. The boss said that next time two people would like to order one. As a liquidator, I feel guilty about wasting food.
The clothes on t island are casual. Men are topless and women can go out in bikini.
The plan to learn to dive was completely abandoned. Apart from sea sports, there are only bars left on the island. The point of art is to see the sunrise, sunset and starry sky. It's no wonder gun dad said that several islands have nothing to stay for so long.
I can only say that these islands are to my taste. On the most prosperous road on the island, apart from the local people in shops, almost all of them are tourists. European and American people walk barefoot and go out in bikini. This kind of life style of being close to nature and unrestrained makes people yearn.
After the resurrection of man Xue, when he went out, he met a group of people in strange clothes dancing. He danced with passers-by and sent some biscuits. This kind of joyful activity is worth donating some money.
Gili T's sand is very white, but it can't go into the water. Sitting on the beach, I was accosted by a three or four-year-old boy. He stood a few meters away from me and waved all the time. I laughed at him. After a while, he pulled his father over to chat with me
The night on the island is as busy as the day, and the road around the island has definitely become a bar street. There is a night market on the left side of the pier. It sells fast food and barbecue seafood. I don't like to eat in crowded places, so I chose the restaurant in inner ring of the island. As a result, I was bitten by mosquitoes.
You have to drink when you are full. There are reasons to have parties almost every day on the island. Monday night, Friday night... Anyone here who remembers the day of today always has a feeling of intoxication. After the first round of drinking, I plan to go back to the hotel. As a result, I met a group of foreigners who were slightly drunk on the road, and a group of people reveled on the road around the island.
People on these islands don't fish, so it's hard to get fresh seafood.
Gili Island air
Get up in the morning and watch the sunrise. Sunrise in Gili In the direction of Meno Island, the sun rises from the mountains of Longmu island. A little bit of the world's cool color cover, until the world's golden.
Then I buy a ticket to Gili It's air. Because I want to be closer to the sun. The ticket office opens at 9 o'clock. It's 40K per person to air. It's 9:30. The docks of Gili islands and Longmu island are the same. They have to wade on and off the ship, and no one helps to carry their luggage. There are so many of our sisters. They are petite and baby Face, along the way there are good people to help us carry our luggage on and off the ship.
A boat of European and American people is very beautiful. With the big waves, the boat sways like a pirate boat. It's really fun to ride in this kind of boat. My cousin and I screamed, and the people on board cheered
The closer to Longmu Island, the worse the weather.
There was a blackout at lunch, and then there was a storm. Looking at the wind blowing wildly outside, as if to break the leaves, sand was rolled up. Eating gado gado, I'm thinking that if a big wave comes, I'll hold on to the bamboo chair next to me. You know, this island has no mountains and no buildings. It's only one or two meters below the sea level. A huge wave is enough to kill everyone on the island.
In the restaurant, I met a couple living in the same hotel, so I drank Longmu coffee and chatted.
gili Air is very close to Longmu Island, opposite Longmu island.
Rain said to stop, still no call. Hotels almost always generate their own electricity, while restaurants don't. Later, when we lived in air for a few days, the power failure accounted for most of the time. We blacked our dinner in the restaurant with candles on. We could see the stars when we looked up with the sea breeze blowing. This kind of day without electricity was like returning to the primitive society.
In fact, the air is very primitive.
Residents of the island will also use stones to cut stoves, cook with pots, dig a hole on the side of the road to make a fire. The children rolled and played naked on the grass. They were very curious about the camera and rushed to the camera for me to take pictures. I also saw a kind of grass house like a small stilted building, which is not much higher than me... I was curious abo
