SPRING
WATER TEMPLE

Another prestigious historical remain
is Holy Spring Water Temple (Pura Tirta Empul) nestled in Tampak Siring
district, Gianyar regency. This temple is famous for its ‘holy bathing and
showers’ which is believed to eliminate diseases and to purify human body and
spirit. Furthermore, close to this temple, we can see the mansion of
Indonesian president which was built by first president of Indonesia. The
palace was built elegantly in a modern style on its era. Throngs of visitors
come into this place every day especially on a holy day such as full moon or
the temple ceremony. We highly recommend you visit this place once you are in
Bali and do purification under the fountains of the pool.

An art village
seems to be very suitable to address this place. Thousands of handicrafts and
paintings can easily be found here. If you look for either old or modern
furniture, this village offers a wide range. Starting from entering the
village, on both sides of the road you will see lots of displays of art from
the shops and they seem attracting visitors to have a closer look inside.

(or gallery) to another just in seconds. It takes only 10 minutes drive from

are originally made by local villagers. Throngs of visitors visit this place

UBUD
|
Famous for its art and culture, Ubud
becomes the only tourism object to which people interested in arts are coming
and visiting this place. Frankly speaking, Ubud tourism site is focusing on
arts and culture; thus, many art work can be found almost everywhere in Ubud.
Museums and fine art galleries are plenty. Besides, Ubud is also famous for
its traditional market and holy monkeys (Monkey Forest). Ubud traditional
market starts from early morning to eight o’clock, and will change to an art
market afterwards. Both traditional and art markets are so recommended as
they offer a very competitive price. The monkey forest itself is just 10
minutes away from the market. There are more than 300 sacred monkeys there
and they are quite friendly to the visitors. If you come and visit it, do not
forget to bring some bananas for them.
