Indonesia : Bali
Bali  Bali is one of thousands of islands that make up the Indonesian Archipelago. It has long been renowned as one of the world's most prominent tourist destinations. The island covers an area of 5,632,86 square kilometers, consisting of mountains stretching from the western tip across to the eastern side, with Mt. Agung as its holiest and highest peak.
The volcanic range divides the island into two separate fertile plains, which are constantly cultivated with rice as the staple crop. About 70 % of the land is agricultural ground, 22 % consists of forest, and the remaining 8% is uncultivated. For centuries Bali has lured visitors from many different countries with its exotic and vibrant culture, natural scenic beauty, and the friendly smiles of the local people. Their traditions and beliefs have evolved from Hinduism, and the island is therefore dotted with ancient remains, sculptures, temples and holy places. |
