Scenic spots/tourist attractions
Tanah Lot
Tanalot is one of the most important seaside temples in Bali. It was built in the16th century to worship the sea god. The temple is located on a huge rock by the sea. At high tide, the rocks are surrounded by seawater, and the whole temple is isolated from the land and stands alone in the seawater. It is only connected to land at low tide. 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 was a huge wave when the temple was built, and the temple was in danger. 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 attraction in Bali.

Tirtha Ember
PuraTirtaEmpul (Shengquan Temple) is located in TampakSiring, north of Ubud. It is one of the famous temples in Bali, where there are thousands of temples. This temple is named after a sacred spring.
For more than 65,438+0,000 years, Balinese people believed that the temple and two bathing places here could be used for health and wealth. The spring water in the temple comes from the pool, and most residents on the island invite holy water to go home to worship. There is also a spring bath here. The stone niche has long been covered with moss, but the spring water is still the same as that of that year. It is said that the spring water here is quite effective. The architectural model of Shengquan Temple is grand and complete. Here you can see the characteristics of all the temples in Bali. Bones, ivory carvings and shell ornaments here have attracted much attention. Legend has it that in the battle between good and evil between Interla and Maya Lianava, Interla used the staff of the earth to spew out the immortal spring (spring temple) in order to bring the villagers poisoned by the devil back to life, thus bringing the subjects poisoned by the devil back to life and helping subdue the devil.
According to the ancient inscriptions of the ancients, TirtaEmpul was built in 962. Shengquan Temple is a must-see for almost every tourist. Its history can be traced back to 962. It is said that the holy spring here is always clear and effective, and the curative effect of holy water from different outlets is also different, attracting good men and women from all over the world to worship and bathe. The scene of the holy spring spewing out of the ground is very touching. The bottom of the stone pool is covered with fine black sand. At the spring eye, the water is surging and dancing, like huge black peonies blooming in the blue sky and green trees against the clear water. It is said that this is immortal water extracted by Indra, a great god, after inserting a sword, which can wash all diseases.

Lettuce salad (Gadogdo)
This is a standard appetizer in Indonesia, which usually includes potatoes, tomatoes, boiled eggs, cucumbers, lobster sauce and some vegetables. After being drenched with yellow sauce, it tastes particularly refreshing.
NasiCampur (mixed rice)
This is also our favorite dish, because it is very similar to the rich signature rice, and it can especially soothe the hungry stomachs of donkey friends. Just like the signature rice, every restaurant has its own characteristics. Usually in meat, there will be chicken or satay, with orange juice, green beans, fried soybeans, eggs and special hot sauce. Very rich.
Fruit Salad (Lujak)
This is one of the specialties of Bali. Usually, vendors slice mangoes, pineapples and papaya, and then add special hot sauce to make salads. Hot sauce fruit is really a wonderful taste. I hear it's very effective for losing weight.
chow mein
Mie is noodles, and Goreng means cooking. Usually, instant noodles are used as ingredients, and coconut milk or a little hot sauce is added for quick frying. People with conscience will be poured with scrambled eggs or even strings of satay. It is usually served with a casual cake. People sometimes miss the taste of instant noodles, so it is right to order fried noodles at this time. Similarly, NasiGoreng means fried rice.
Roasted suckling pig (Babi Guling)
This is a specialty of Bali. Many morning and night markets sell roast suckling pig rice. However, for Balinese, the best roast suckling pig is in Iboka near Ubud Palace, where the roast suckling pig rice is full of pork blood strips, shredded pork and crispy pig skin.
