LAMPUNG PROVINCE

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.

The 500,000 Lampungese call themselves Orang Pablan. Prior to Islam they practiced a syncretic Buddhist Hindu ancestor cult. The Lampungese have always had close contact with the Banten culture of West Java and took the Islamic faith early. Since 1932 when the Dutch started transmigrasi schemes here in order to cut down on Java's overpopulation, modern Javanese agricultural pioneers have settled in these areas by the tens of thousands. In this province you find sawah very similar to Java's and in many areas where the Javanese have settled, the same overpopulation and work-sharing problems as in a typical village on Java have arisen, but without the corresponding high fertility of soils, efficient drainage and water control as is found on Java. In North Lampung, 10% of the population are Javanese transmigrants, in South Lampung 60%, while in Central Lampung, 75%. These Javanese have of course brought their gamelan and we yang with them. archaeological remains: Often these are far from the main roads. Stone inscriptions are found at Pales, South Lampung; Talangpadang (south-center); Liwa (north-east). Megalithic sculpture at Batu Badad and Bojong. Hindu stone sculpture at Gunung Sugih Baser. At Kenali (nortIwest) there's a menhir. A slender Bodhisattva is still in loco at Pugung Raharjo, Central Lampung.
