Bali is a popular holiday destination for tourists from all over the world. In recent years, its popularity is very high, because its natural environment and climate are very comfortable, and all kinds of infrastructure and entertainment projects are newly built. In particular, the hotels here are world-class and attract many western tourists. Let's introduce it in detail below.
: Precautions in Bali
1. It is best not to eat roadside stalls locally. It has something to do with the local water quality. Some vendors don't change water in the process of making food, so it's better not to eat it.
2. It is recommended to drink bottled mineral water for the same reason.
3. Don't wear too ostentatious jewelry (especially necklaces) and try to avoid going out after 7 pm. Especially for girls who go out to play by themselves, we must pay attention to this and walk inside. The local streets are narrow and motorcycles are the main means of transportation. Seeing those motorcycles galloping on the road at night is a bit scary, and it is easy to grab bags and jewelry. Once valuables are robbed, even if they are found by the local police, it is difficult to accept them, and there is often nowhere to go. If the passport and other important things in the bag are robbed, it can only be solved in Jakarta, Indonesia, and it is likely to stay there for a month, which is very troublesome.
4. Take care of yourself as much as possible when traveling. The local registration fee is 3, 6 yuan (RMB), which takes a long time and is more troublesome.
5. Most local residents are warm and friendly, but they ignore the praise of strangers. You know all the reasons. Safety comes first.
6. If you want to buy things in duty-free shops, you'd better buy them on consignment or deposit them in domestic duty-free shops. Some goods in Bali airport duty-free shop are more expensive than those in China.
7. If you go out in a large group and want to buy some special products in the convenience store next to the hotel, you can buy them earlier, not at the end of the trip (this is only for popular special products, such as sunscreen), because some shop assistants will raise the price. For example, we bought sunscreen on the first day, which was about 7 RMB. When we want to buy some more in a few days, the price on it will be 12 RMB.
: essentials
1. Passport and photocopy, one-inch and two-inch photos, air tickets and hotel reservations.
2. bank card: one Huaxia bank card. Now it is free to withdraw money from overseas for the first three times every month, and large shopping malls can use UnionPay to swipe their cards; 1visa or MasterCard credit card, which must be used when UnionPay is unavailable;
3. Cash: prepare 2 yuan/person (RMB) to be converted into Indonesian rupiah. Each customer's consumption concept is different, so it is suggested to take cash according to their own situation.
4. Camera and charger (not for photographers), mobile phone and charger, waterproof case of camera, mobile power supply, universal power conversion socket/plug (generally available in hotels, but not many, it is recommended to bring your own for convenience), and mobile power supply with capacity of 5mAh is enough.
5. if you don't buy a local mobile phone card, you'd better open international roaming for your mobile phone.
6. Common drugs (stomach medicine, cold medicine, antidiarrheal medicine, sesame oil, band-aid, carsickness medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, etc.). Take it in moderation) to prevent discomfort caused by adapting to the environment.
7. antipruritic lotion (double Ren Fei is the best, and toilet water will do). There are more mosquitoes in Bali because of the climate.
8. It is recommended to bring your own toiletries, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, shower gel and towels (you deserve a travel suit)
9. Daily necessities: waterproof bag, U-shaped pillow, paper towels, nail clippers and towels.
1. Skin care makeup: sunscreen, after-sun repair, cosmetics, facial cleanser, sleeping mask, bath products, comb, makeup remover cotton, cleansing oil, small mirror, apron, lipstick, (travel sample), bags of dirty clothes.
1. Sun protection: Sunglasses, hats and sunscreen are indispensable. The sunshine in Bali is very abundant.
12. Signature pen: You need to fill in the entry form on the plane.
13. You can bring your own snacks, in case the taste is different, such as instant noodles and Laoganma.
14. The teacher must bring: razor, flip-flops, black leather shoes, a pair of pure white socks and a pair of black socks should be worn before shooting.
15. The wife must bring: light off-the-shoulder underwear or contact underwear (contact bra, breast enhancement patch), and prepare a pair of light-colored high heels or sandals and flip-flops.
16. Ladies should bring their own casual clothes. It is recommended to choose a dress or short skirt that highlights your figure, and a retro long skirt with bright colors or white/big red. Whether it is urban street shooting or seaside shooting, the effect is very good; If you bring your own bikini, it is recommended to choose bright colors, but it is not recommended to have patterns. A solid bikini will look better on camera than a pattern.
Taboos of temple fairs in Bali
Temple fairs in Bali continue all year round, with hundreds of times, large and small. It's not easy to miss them. To attend these temple fairs, you should pay attention to the following points:
Don't touch the heads of Balinese people, because it is disrespectful to Hindus.
The left hand is considered unclean, so try to use the right hand when contacting people.
To attend a celebration ceremony, a temple fair, or just enter a temple, you need to wear a sleeveless coat, a skirt and trousers that can cover your knees, and a belt. Women in physiological period are not allowed to enter the temple.
If you are not ready to pray sincerely and accept the blessing of Balinese religion, please don't enter the prayer area of the temple fair. You can visit social activities, night markets and outdoor dance and drama performances in Bali.
Before and after prayer, you can speak or do other things, but you should be solemn and attentive when praying.
All kinds of sacrifices after the sacrifice can be eaten by God, except ants, chickens, ducks and other insects and animals. The evil spirits who sacrificed on the ground robbed them of their food.
You can take photos during the temple fair celebration, but please don't walk in front of kneeling prayers. Please don't sit higher than the priest or sacrifice, and don't take pictures of the priest with a flash. Please maintain a respectful attitude.
if you want to take pictures of specific people, you'd better get permission in advance. Some people will ask for a fee, so it's best to discuss it in advance.
