The Great Holiday Destination-Bali

Bali is one of the most beautiful places in the world—long, white sandy beaches, lush tropical foliage, amazing food, and some of the nicest people you have ever met.
Bali, it is where tourism mingles with mystery. It is Indonesia’s answer to Australia’ Gold Coast because it is a surfer’s paradise of sun, sand, some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, tallest waves and a lot of good times.
Bali, indeed is custom-made for tourists. You can see them around lounging in restaurants, shopping  and most of all at the beach sunning themselves or toting a surfboard. There are also rows and rows of shops that carry traditional Balinese goods as well as a variety of other goods to suit every tourist’s delight and needs. Regardless of where you come from, Bali’s appeal is not hard to be pleased about – beautiful sunsets, easy-going lifestyle, warm smiles and great weather.
One example of a fascinating site in Bali is the Pura Luhur Ulu Watu which is perched on a raised seabed that emerged from the sea many, many years ago. This magnificent temple is considered as one of the most sacred sanctuaries of the island and is off limits to tourists until recently. Presently, it is a hot spot with a multitude of vendors selling souvenirs of the temple. Another site worth checking out is Tanah Lot which is home to Bali’s beautiful sunsets. It is a small temple which is set on a white sandy beach that looks out to the sea. The sunsets here especially from April to November are simply stunning.
Bali’s history and culture is enchanting but like anywhere else, it is slowly being swallowed up by modern culture. But inspite of this, if you are looking for a place to just relax, be yourself and do nothing, then make Bali be your destination. It is like a neat little package that has it all- culture, nightlife, food, good ambiance and most of all, the superb beaches and surf.
