Gourmet

1. Sate-a kebab made of chicken, cow, pig or shrimp and served with peanut butter, which tastes good;

2. Gado－Gado vegetable salad and Nasi Goreng Indonesian fried rice are not delicious, but they are famous.

3. There are two Bali specialties that must not be missed: BabiGuling crispy roast suckling pig and Bebek Betutu, a famous duck meat, which are wrapped in banana leaves, herbs and spices and baked with slow fire.

4. Beer-the most popular local brands are Bintang, Anker and BaliHai；;

5. Rice wine and fruit wine-it is recommended to taste Hatten rose red wine in Bali, as well as Tuak palm liqueur (made from coconut palm flower juice) and Brem (fermented from black glutinous rice and coconut juice). Arak, a colorless and sugar-free alcoholic beverage, is the most popular among foreign tourists. It is distilled from Brem or Tuak, and is usually drunk with ice cubes. As long as the above drinks are not mixed, there will never be a hangover the next day, because the alcohol content is only 5%, and girls can also try it boldly;

6. mineral water-the most popular Aqua brand, produced by nestle.

Entertainment

Nightlife is most famous near Kuta Beach, and now it has extended to Legian and Seminyak Street. The famous bars are Goa21 and JayaPub；; CafeLuna is the most lively place after midnight; Most shops are closed at 2-3 am, and there are still a lot of night owls in Mama's who continue to drink until the sun rises. Gado Gado and 66-Double Six are the two hottest Disco, and many seats also provide simple and quick midnight snacks.

The night in Bali is full of beautiful vocals. I love the specialty bar ApacheReggaeBar, which has a unique local band performing tropical reggae music. Don't be shy, and dance with friends from all walks of life with dynamic music! Hard Rock Bali, a five-star hotel adjacent to Kuta Beach, is a chain of American Hard Rock. Its special Boom Box recording studio is equipped with professional recording equipment and sound engineers, which can record your wonderful songs during your vacation and carve perfect memories for your vacation. It is suggested to add two new Indonesian words before the singing: Good morning Selamat Pagi and thank you Tarima kasih! For standard pronunciation, please consult your local sound engineer.

Shopping

Kuta and Legian are good places to shop, and the price is much cheaper than that in hotels, but you need to shop around. Balinese handicrafts and tourist souvenirs are recommended to be purchased in markets along the road to Ubud and in Ubud, where there are high-quality and low-priced antique and semi-antique furniture, various paintings, wood carvings, stone carvings, masks and woven textiles. Most stores in Bali can bargain, but shopping in Kuta Square and Matahari Department Store, the most popular brand shopping centers, is not negotiable.

Transportation

If you have time, it is recommended to carry a backpack around or borrow a bicycle to ride slowly, so that you can enjoy the bright sunshine and fresh air in Bali for free. However, the transportation fee in Bali is actually cheaper. Taxis start from 2,5 rubias by the meter, and then 1, rubias per kilometer. Usually, it takes about 5, to 2, rubias (RMB 5-2 yuan) to take a trip. Remind you to take a blue taxi (that is, BlueBird) because its drivers are safe and polite.

It is not recommended to take a motorcycle for various safety reasons, but the sightseeing carriage on Legian Street can also help you find another style, just need to talk about the price. If you have an international driver's license, you can rent a motorcycle and a car, rent a car to a reputable big company as far as possible, and do a good job of car inspection and insurance in advance.

Leisure

Many people come to the SPA in Bali, which ranges from the entry-level of general price to the ultra-luxury level of five-star hotels. The environment and service are completely different. It is strongly recommended to find a SPA at the seaside or in the Woods to soak him completely, which is the highest enjoyment.

culture

cultural people should not miss the Barong Dance and the shadow play. Balong dance is a local dance in Bali, which symbolizes the conflict between two forces of chaos and destruction ("rang-da") and order ("Barong"). Wayang Kulit is a kind of shadow play in Indonesia, in which dolls made of gold-plated and colored leather carvings are performed with shadows under the illumination of lights. In addition, you can also go to BALI CLIFF and try to enjoy a luxurious buffet dinner while enjoying a routine dance performance in Bali. This "Cave Night" costs 4-5 dollars, which is unique.

currency: the local currency is Rupiah (abbreviated as RP). At present, the RMB in 1 yuan is equivalent to about 1, rupiah, and the US dollar is equivalent to about 8, rupiah. Please check the exact exchange rate before departure.

the use of dollars is also very common. Generally, accommodation, chartered cars and travel agency tours are mostly quoted in US dollars, while Indonesian rupiah is often used for shopping, eating and tipping.

exchange: RMB is not easy to be directly exchanged, and the exchange rate is very poor. It's best to change dollars at home and then exchange them for Indonesian rupiah locally. Airports, hotels and banks are all convertible, and there are also many exchange points on the streets of towns.

exchange skills:

1. The exchange rate of the Indonesian rupiah fluctuates greatly. When you arrive at the airport, look at the exchange rate of the day. If it is at a high level, you might as well change it a little more.

2. The exchange rate of the airport is generally lower than that of the urban area. You can change it a little less first to cover the expenses for one or two days.

3. No commission is indicated on the exchange rate bulletin board at the street exchange point, which means no handling fee is charged.

4. The exchange rate of large denomination USD is higher than that of small denomination USD.

5. Please check it in person when you exchange it, and don't change hands through others.

6. It is best not to carry the $1 denomination notes issued in 1996, which may be rejected.

credit card: high-end hotels, restaurants and large stores can use credit cards, but RMB single-currency credit cards issued by domestic banks cannot be used. ATM machines are very common in da shi, but UnionPay cards can't be used either. Credit card withdrawals have to pay extra fees, so it's better to bring enough cash.

There are many souvenirs worth buying in Bali, such as wood carving and stone carving, various paintings, exquisite handmade gold and silver jewelry, masks and batik fabrics. Native products include coffee beans, curry powder, shrimp slices, essential oils, etc., which are suitable for personal use or gifts to relatives and friends. When shopping, please remember to bargain. In Indonesia, if you are not sure about buying something, it is best not to ask the price, let alone bargain.

Balinese silverware is not only plates and wine glasses, but also jewelry with unique design. Exquisite silver jewelry is not as gaudy and ostentatious as gold jewelry, and it has an elegant taste. Coffee is a specialty in Indonesia, and the quality of Indonesian coffee is among the best in the world. There are coffee shops in Bali, and there are many brands and packages to choose from in supermarkets.

Badibu is a local traditional batik cloth, which is used for sarong or decoration. The effect is excellent, warm and elegant, which makes people feel happy when eating and greatly increases their appetite. Nowadays, many Buddies have been improved and are more suitable for people from different places to buy and use.

specialty recommendation

Kemenuh handicraft factory

In the craft factory, you can see exquisite wood carving products everywhere. The figures carved by craftsmen are lifelike, as small as fingers and as big as real people. Shiny carving knives flew between their fingers, and pieces of dead wood instantly turned into works of art of different shapes. According to reports, there are about 5, family workshops in Bali engaged in the production of traditional handicrafts such as wood carving, batik and painting. Visitors are free to buy their favorite handicrafts when they visit.

the exquisite Balinese tablecloths used in many restaurants, restaurants and high-end residences are made by local JENGGALA KERAMIK BALI, and Brent Hesselyn, a New Zealand-born designer and ceramist, has been making high-quality handmade pottery for 2 years. You can buy them at SARI BUMI (located in KAFE BATU JIMBAR). Address: jalandan au tamblingan No.152, sanur, and new factory in Jalan Uluwatu II, Kimbaran.

Shopping market recommends

You can buy many handicrafts in Ubud, and the market is located in Jalan Raya and Monkey Forest Road. For example, Passar Seni Kukawati has all kinds of wood carvings, bamboo carvings and sarong. Sanur's shopping is relatively concentrated. Sanur Art Market has wood carving, oil painting, batik and so on. Other famous markets in Sanur include Pasar Sindhu Morning Market and The Pasar Pantai Sanur Crafts Market. You can also go deep into the handicraft village in Sanur to buy artworks and handicrafts.

Kuta and Legian are also very prosperous.

spa recommends

ZEN SPA in Ubud

traditional massage for 1 hour; 5 yuan (RMB/ person) Lurlur spa for 1.5 hours; 9 yuan

Recommended reason: very cheap, powerful and professional, with beautiful scenery. (It's semi-open with walls on three sides, and you can watch clouds and green spaces during the day and stars at night.) If you can see fireflies at night, it's a pity that you arrange the afternoon. You can visit the alleys of Ubud and go to the spa at night.

NUR SALON in Ubud

Leg massage for 3 minutes, facial treatment in 4 yuan for 1 hour, Lulu Spa in 75 yuan for 2 hours, 1 yuan

Recommended reason: it's worth the money, the price is half that of Kuta, but the things used are not bad at all, and even the petals are much more than those in Bikouta. It is open-air and the room is large. The bathtub is similar to Kuta, but the petals are 8 minutes full. Although not all roses, they are very fragrant.

Bali Hati in Ubud traditional massage 1.5 hours 75 yuan; 2 hours Lavish me massage in 1 yuan for 1.5 hours. You need to book double massage for 5 hours in 18 yuan. 5 yuan (it is strongly recommended to try Lavish me(9 min massage) in HATI)

Recommended reason: it was completed in July 1999, with outdoor bubble bath and rice field landscape. What's more worth mentioning is that some sightseeing facilities have been built, and the proceeds have been donated to educational institutions in Bali. Special reminder: it is best to make an appointment, because the regular customers are full. It is open from 9 am to 8 pm.

WELL BEING SPA in Seminyak-Kuta Traditional Massage 2 hours 15 yuan Classic Massage 2.5 hours 19 yuan Luxury Bali SPA 3.5 hours 58 yuan

Recommended reason: there is shuttle service, the spa is very professional, and the cost performance is quite good, which can be described as value for money. At the same price in China, you can't enjoy such a pure Bali spa at all.

Some people say that every Shanghainese turns into a big boss when he goes to Bali, because the ratio of the local Indonesian currency Rubia to RMB is 1: 1,, and one yuan can be exchanged for 1, yuan, which is really cool!

I recommend you to visit CYTS Travel Network, which has a wealth of information. Or call their customer service. I have previously reported to CYTS for free travel in Phuket. Their service is very good and they feel really professional.
