Some
of the TOP Hotels in Bali
Bali's
most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre
sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation,
shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but
most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast
Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north
coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural
centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized
overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged
every night of the week and the streets are full of
arts-and-crafts galleries.

Besides the remains of palaces and burial grounds on
several islands near Tg. Pinang, there are even more
intriguing palace ruins located further out (at Tembilahan
on the mouth of the Indragiri River and in the town
of Daik on Pulau Lingga). Travel companies won't conduct
tours to these because it takes more than one day to
visit them, which would prove unprofitable, difficult
to organize, and lacking appeal to the ordinary tourist.
So you have to get out to the more remote sites yourself.
Snake River Chinese Temple: On an island just across
the harbor of Tg. Pinang. Take a sampan for Rp100, entering
the small Snake River through mangrove trees. The temple
is decorated with paintings. Also visit the orang laut
settlement and the Old Town of Tg. Pinang. Pulau Terlukai:
Beyond Pulau Penyenget. A spetbot from Pulau Penyenget
to Pulau Terlukai costs Rp4000 return; takes 1-1'k hours;
see Ramat in Kampung Datuk on Pulau Penyenget. On Pulau
Terlukai there's only a lighthouse, no people, untouched
white sand beaches, waving palms with shady mangrove
and casaurina trees. Help yourself to all the coconuts
you want. Kota Piring (or 'City of Plates'): On Biram
Dewa Island 30 minutes by spetbot from Tg. Pinang or
by taxi from Tg. Pinang Rp5000 for one whole day. By
sampan, at least Rp500. Built by the 4th Viceroy of
Riau, Raja Haji. The walls of this ruined palace are
full of ceramic plates. Another orang laut village on
this island.
