Sights of Bali

Tanah Lot Temple is often depicted on Balinese postcards. Its name translates to “Land and Sea” and it is located right on a cliff. It is believed that the temple was built in the 15th century by a priest who lived here alone and, feeling that the place was sacred, ordered a temple to be built here. The place is very exotic and atmospheric.
Besakih Temple is another favorite tourist spot. For the Balinese this is the holy of holies. The temple is located on the most revered Mount Agung, the abode of all gods. They pray on the mountain and even fall asleep with only their heads turned towards it. Besakih Temple is called the mother of all temples on the island. It is also the largest religious complex in Bali. Here you can see how sacred rituals of offering to the gods take place. When you get here, you realize how loyal the Balinese people are and how much their faith means to them.
The beautiful Bali Botanical Garden is located on the territory of Bedugul. A place that fascinates with its beauty. There is often fog here, and the garden is surrounded by huge strawberry plantations. The 57 and a half hectare slope of Mount Pokhon is home to about 650 species of trees, 400 species of orchids, 104 species of cacti, as well as bamboo, roses and much more. In total there are about two thousand different plants. If you're traveling to Bali with kids, add the botanical garden to your must-see list. Little ones can run around barefoot here while parents relax on the grass and watch Balinese couples get married.
The Ujung and Tirta Ganga water palaces are some of the most beautiful structures on the island. They were built by the last Raja of Bali Karangasem using Dutch architects. It turned out to be not only beautiful, but also useful. The palace complexes serve as an irrigation basin for the surrounding fields. Arriving here, you will see magnificent ensembles of water labyrinths, fountains and palace buildings of extraordinary architecture.
The village of Butulan is worth a trip to see how they create the same stone statues that can be found throughout Bali. Images of gods and ordinary people guard houses and temples, and greet you at the entrance to shops and beaches. They all come from Butulan, the center of stone carving. Craftsmen here work tirelessly to create more and more mythological characters. Any statue can be bought.
To see how rice grows in Bali, you need to go to the Ubud area. The famous Tegallalang Rice Terraces are located here. After 3 months, the rice will grow very quickly, so the local scenery is constantly changing. First, the undulating terraces on the hillsides fill with water, then green shoots appear from the water. Soon the plantations turn emerald, and when harvest time comes, the fields take on a golden hue. Interestingly, even after harvesting the rice, there is still something to see on the terraces. The Balinese bring domestic ducks here to eat the leftover grain. The scene is very interesting.
