For visitors who are on a short weekend visit to the island Bali, here is a tip of how to get the most out of their 48 hours visit.
Friday3 p.m.— there is nothing like a good meal. La Lucciola at Seminyak is the place to be, with its good food, great service and a beautiful view of the sea.
5 p.m.— About an hour away from La Lucciola is Uluwatu. This southern tip of the island is famous for its famous temple that stands on the edge, high above the sea. The fire dance, is performed here daily at sunset.
8 p.m.—To finish off the evening, head to Jimbaran Bay where restaurants offer candles, local dances and a moving band of boys singing songs on request. Kick off your shoes, feel the sand, and tuck into the catch of the day.
Saturday9:30 a.m. — Start the day with another dose of Balinese culture by heading for a dance performance.
12 p.m. — Kintamani, a favourite with tourists for the panoramic (全景的) view of active volcano Mt. Batur and adjoining crater lake. It’s a good idea to reach Kintamani early as it tends to get cloudy after 3 p.m. Have lunch at a local restaurant with a view of Mt. Batur and the lake. Tourists can catch the sunrise at the Mt. Batur peak.
2:30 p.m.— Head back to Ubud, the seat of Bali’s fine arts, dance and music, and spend the rest of your afternoon strolling through its streets.
Sunday6 a.m.— It’s time for a dip (下降) in the sea—and don’t forget the camera.
10:30 a.m.— another half-day trip to two of the most famous temples in Bali. Drive down to the Taman Ayun temple at Mengwi.
12 p.m.— Next up is the Tanah Lot temple, perhaps the most famous of them all. Built on a rock that gets cut off from the mainland during high tide, the temple is best seen in the afternoon when it is silhouetted(显出轮廓) against the sun or at sunset.
