If you like playing in the water, go to Phuket. Attractions in Phuket:

Phi Phi Don

The scenery of Phi Phi Don is as the LP "Thailand" manual says: Although compared with other parts of Thailand, Phi Phi Don The consumption level on the island is slightly higher, but if you compare it with the beautiful islands in other places, you will find that this paradise on earth is actually so cheap that you can’t help but chuckle.

Phi Phi Island is located in the Andaman Sea in southern Thailand. It consists of Big Phi Phi and Little Phi Phi. This beautiful sea area is the estuary of the Nu River. Tourists usually stay on Phi Phi Koh, with the two islands connected by a "corridor". This corridor is the most lively place on Phi Phi Island. Many hotels, restaurants, bars, diving schools, travel agencies and small vendors are densely distributed around the alleys. There are two very beautiful bays on both sides of the corridor, one is called Ao Lo Dalum and the other is Ton Sai Bay. It only takes 10 minutes to walk back and forth between these two bays, which is quite leisurely and comfortable. . One of the biggest temptations here is the warm and humid climate - the annual average temperature is 28°C, with very small temperature differences.

Tourists like to take the cruise ship to Phi Phi Island at the Phuket Pier in the afternoon (the one-way fare is about 350 baht, equivalent to RMB 73), and we are no exception. There are almost all Western faces with white skin and blue eyes on the cruise ship. The love of European and American people for Phi Phi Island is evident. The sea views along the way are breathtaking. In about an hour and a half, the cruise ship will arrive at Tongsai Bay, the pier of Da Phi Phi. At first glance, it is difficult to imagine that this place was hit by a tsunami in 2004 - 70% of the buildings on the land were destroyed at that time. After getting off the cruise ship, I found that the hotel clerk had been waiting at the pier for a long time. The hotel owner also enthusiastically gave me a map of the island. After some rest, you can just go to the beach of Rodalamu Bay to relax and watch the sunset. At the seaside, there is no clear boundary between darkness and darkness. Just a moment ago, it was a scene of the setting sun reflecting on the sea. In just a blink of an eye, it is difficult to tell where is the sea and where is the sky.

In the early morning of the second day in Phuket, the quiet streets were a little less noisy than at night, and the air was filled with a leisurely and romantic atmosphere. Birds sang happily on the trees. The cat was taking a nap on the roadside. Walking on the soft beach and feeling the gentle caressing of your feet by the fine sand is an indescribable comfort. Following the smell of baking bread, any fool can find a small shop and have a delicious breakfast. After having enough wine and food, we headed towards the legendary Maya Bay - where the movie "The Beach" starring Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed. The coconut trees and houses in the movie were all built separately, but the blue water is as clear as in the movie, and you can see the fish swimming under the water through the strong sunlight. Because there are cliffs on three sides, this place has become a paradise without any pollution from the world.

If you like traveling and playing in the water, go to Bali.

Main attractions:

Tanah Lot Tanah Lot: Tanah Lot (Pat Temple) is built on a huge rock by the sea. It is one of the most famous temples in Bali. At high tide, the temple is surrounded by sea water and completely isolated from the land. It can only be connected when the tide is low. Tanah Lot Temple was built in the 16th century to worship the god of the sea. On the opposite side of the rock wall below the giant rock, there are several poisonous sea snakes found in a small cave. Legend has it that they are the guardians of this temple to prevent demons and other intruders. It is said that when the temple was built, there was a sudden huge wave and the temple was in danger. So the monk in the temple took off his belt and threw it into the sea. The belt turned into two sea snakes and finally calmed the storm. Since then, the sea snake has also become the patron saint of the temple. There is a small pavilion on the opposite bank where you can overlook the sunset, which has become a sacred scene in Bali. There are many shops selling souvenirs on both sides of the temple, and there are many children selling scenic postcards around tourists. The lowest you can get is 10,000 rupees for 30 tickets, which is about 6 to 7 yuan.

This is a small temple built on a coastal reef. Whenever the tide rises, the seawater submerges the reef connecting the temple to the shore, and it stands alone in the blue water. A cave in the reef is still there. There are several small snakes that can be called patron saints hidden inside, which make them appear more solemn and solemn and boundless. The waves are huge and the shore is covered with brown rocks. It is not possible to swim, but it is the best place to experience the feeling of "turbulent waves crashing on the shore". I saw the waves gathering strength one after another, rushing onto the reef without hesitation, stirring up waves of turbulent water, making the tourists who went down to the reef to get close to the sea laugh and scream with joy.

Golf course: Bali’s BALI GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB is known as one of the five best courses in Asia. It is also the most famous golf course in Bali. She is located in the NUSA DUA area, facing the Indian Ocean and an 18-hole golf course. At the same time, the golf course also has a spa, villas, etc. for guests' needs.

Holy Spring Temple: Pura Tirta Empul (Holy Spring Temple) is located in Tampak Siring, north of Ubud. The temple is built around a holy spring, hence its name.

For more than a thousand years, Balinese people have believed that this temple and two bathing areas on the site can bring health and wealth. The spring water here is said to have healing properties. The Holy Spring Temple has a grand and complete architectural model. Here you can see the characteristics of all temples in Bali.

According to legend, a Mayadanawa king who liked to boast about his magical power attracted challenges from the gods. Mayadanawa was defeated by the god Indra and created a poisonous spring. Many devas died because they drank from the spring or bathed in it. So Indra, the god of heaven, thrust his sword into the earth, drawing out the spring of immortality called amerta, and resurrected the poisoned gods. Mayadanawa turned into stone to escape. Seeing this, Indra shot an arrow at the stone, and Mayadanawa's blood flowed into the Petanu River. Since then, people believed that the Petanu River was cursed and could not be used for irrigation; otherwise the harvested rice stems would spurt out blood. It is known from ancient inscriptions that Tirta Empul was built in 962 AD.

Jingta Mani Volcano: Jingta Mani Volcano is an active volcano. It erupted in 1917 and destroyed countless shrines and villages. But it also brought fertility to the land, and crops such as citrus, bananas, coffee, and coconuts were planted around the volcano. The customs of the villagers in this area are also different from those of ordinary Balinese people. They do not conduct cremation or burial, but sky burial. It rains all year round and the climate is cool.

Uluwatu Cliff: Uluwatu Cliff is located at the southernmost tip of Bali. There is a poignant love tragedy behind it. Legend has it that a young man and woman from an improper family fell in love in the local area. The woman's father was the village chief, so there was no blessing for their love. In despair, they both threw themselves into the sea and died in love. It adds a bizarre color to this place. Enjoy afternoon tea and local snacks here, with a panoramic view of the cliffs and ocean, which is endlessly beautiful. There are many monkeys here, so tourists wearing glasses and watches should pay attention to safety.

Bali Beach (3): Jimbaran Beach is famous for its beautiful sunset and the special way of fishermen working. It is a pleasure to run on the beach in the early morning and dusk. Fishermen here still use ancient and simple canoes to go out to sea. Many hotels and restaurants have been added to the beachfront. Watching the sunset here in the evening, listening to singers singing ballads from various countries, and enjoying candlelight dinner and seafood barbecue are unique and interesting.

Kuta Beach: Kuta is known as the most beautiful beach in Bali. The beach here is flat, with white and fine sand. It is a paradise for surfing and skateboarding. There is a lively commercial street nearby, displaying various Balinese traditional handicrafts and gorgeous national costumes, and there are also large department stores where you can buy all kinds of goods. But in recent years, transitional development has received a major impact from Western culture. Extreme commercialization and the pornographic industry have had a strong impact on the originally simple folk customs here.

Wood Carving Village: Bali is a rich source of Indonesian handicrafts, especially wood carving. For example, Mas is the home of Bali wood carving, where the best carvers in Bali are concentrated. Some of these large galleries display their works. We can see the carver demonstrating his craftsmanship live, while a group of women are doing detailed grinding on the side. You can compare various wood carvings and add some common sense. They also sell some of their works. The themes of the handicrafts displayed are mainly Hindu mythological characters and the life styles of traditional residents. There are also larger furniture such as a complete set of tables and chairs, etc., of all kinds. However, if you only want to buy some cheap small carved ornaments, it is better to go to small shops in other scenic spots to buy them cheaper, but the price is related to the material of the wood and the fineness of the carving.

Batik Village

Batik Village is also called "Batu Bulan" Village. Batubulan, which means "moon stone" in the local language, is a village famous for its stone sculptures. Batublan's handmade batik cloth has elegant patterns and low prices.

Garuda Wisnu Kencana: Garuda Wisnu Kencana in Jimbaran Bay, Bali, covering an area of ??239 hectares. It is a square left over from the Suharto era. It is only a prototype and has not been completed. The reason why it is called Condor Square is that a bronze statue of the tallest condor in the world was originally to be erected here. The condor is riding on the back of Bali's highest god "God of Destruction", that is, Wisnu (god Vishnu in Sanskrit). , the protector among the Indian trinity of gods.

This bronze statue is entirely made of pure copper. It is said that it will be 118 meters high when completed. The completed bust of the god is 34 meters high. It is said that a senior monk once advised Suharto that after the bronze statue is cast, it will protect Indonesia's national prosperity and the people's happiness and peace. Unfortunately, the bronze statue only completed the head, chest and head of the condor of the "God of Destruction". Suharto stepped down, and this ambitious and costly project was shelved.

Ayung River Rafting: The most recommended water activity in Bali at your own expense is naturally the famous Ayung River rafting (rafting). The Ayung River is 11 kilometers long and has 22 rapids. Both sides of the river are covered with changing scenes of virgin forest. You can join a rafting company. There are many rafting companies and the rafting times vary. But it is best to choose one with insurance and accompanied by a professional water instructor. Generally, there are 4-6 people on the rubber boat, and the whole route should not be less than 2 hours. Along the entire route, the oncoming landscape is sometimes lush woods, sometimes vast fields, sometimes eerie bat caves, sometimes beautiful waterfalls, the changes are endless, and it is amazing. No wonder many tourists lament that they only know the real Bali when they go rafting on the Ayung River.

Love boat sailing: There are many companies in Bali that provide sailing activities, with different ship conditions and different contents. But the most famous ones are "QUICK SILVER" and "BALI HAI". The contents and prices of the Love Boat activities of these two shipping companies are similar. The general arrangements are full-day tours (leaving the sea at 9:15 and returning at 15:30) and evening tours (leaving the sea at 18:00 and returning at 20:30).

SPA: The elegance of SPA and its environment not only provides a place for fitness, but also relieves the stress caused by work, age and environment. Modern spas are rediscovering the quality natural products of centuries past and promoting them to modern, health-conscious consumers. The effects of hot spring and seawater hydrotherapy, heat therapy and herbal therapy are amazing. These methods can reduce psychological and muscle stress, can also treat some diseases, and are also helpful for skin detoxification and metabolism. There are many types of massage in Bali, including Foot Reflexology, Swedish, Traditional Balinese, Remedial and Aromatherapy.

Bali has relatively many attractions, including volcanoes and jungle rafting.
