#Spring0yentrip #Bali #Balitrip #Overseastrip ☆Day 1 Seminyak I went to a cafe called KYND and a spa called Body Works. At KYND, you can eat delicious acai bowls with your favorite text on them, and the inside of the shop was pink and very cute (photo 1)! At Body Works, you can experience a spa, and the atmosphere of the shop was so cute that I wanted to stay there forever (photo 2). The most recommended place is the beach club called La Brisa Bali (photo 3). It was a very beautiful place like Disney world. The scenery was wonderful and you can't see in Japan. The food and drinks were delicious! ☆Day 2 Ubud The recommended places in Ubud are Cretya Ubud and Monkey Forest. At Cretya Ubud, I was able to ride the swings in a dress (photo 4) and compare different flavors of coffee (photo 5), and I was able to have many experiences that I can't have in Japan. You can also enjoy the pool from morning to night (photo 6), so it was a place you can enjoy all day long. At the Monkey Forest, you can see many monkeys at a distance that is unimaginable in Japan. They were very cute, pulling your clothes and climbing onto your shoulders (photo 7). ☆Day 3 Kuta First, we went to Tanah Lot Temple. It was raining, but I was impressed to see a temple floating on the sea for the first time (photo 8). We watched the sunset at Kuta Beach, and the sunset seen on the beach after the rain was very beautiful (photo 9)!! And lastly, we went to a night beach club called Finns. Here, we were able to interact with many foreign people, and although it was a club right in front of the sea and had a pool and was open, it felt like the club, and it was a lot of fun (photo 10)! I wish there was a club like this in Japan! ☆Recommended Hotel There is a hotel that I would recommend by far!! It is called "Aksari Resort Ubud". The staff at this hotel were very kind, always carrying our luggage, kindly answering our questions, and replying promptly to emails. I got the smallest room, but it was very spacious and clean, so I was very satisfied. The hotel has many pools, which all guests can use (photo 11). We also had breakfast by the pool. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the staff took lots of photos for us (photo 12). There was free yoga in the morning, and we took photos of each of us doing yoga poses as a souvenir (photo 13). At the end, we took a photo with the staff (photo 14)! It was a really, really good hotel! I want to stay here every day. In summary, Bali was a really great place! Everyone in Bali was kind and wonderful. You can experience many things that you can't experience in Japan! I recommend Bali as a travel destination!!!

The central idea of ​​the Monkey Forest is "Tri Hita Karana", which means three ways to achieve physical and mental health: harmony between God and man, man and man, and man and the environment. In the past, monkeys often attacked villagers, so temples were built to scare the monkeys away. Later, the entire area was directly planned as a habitat for monkeys, and special people were assigned to raise and care for them. This can be regarded as a reflection of the way of survival between humans, the environment, and animals. The monkey species is "Bali Long-Tailed Monkey", scientifically known as Macaca Fascicularis (Macaque), which looks a bit similar to the Taiwan macaque, but I found that many monkeys here have "Beckham heads 🗻", which is very interesting There are 1,049 monkeys in the park, divided into the following groups according to their habitats: temple group forest conservation group central point group eastern group michelin group Cemeteries Group The park is not too big and you can walk around it in 40 minutes quickly or spend two hours walking slowly. It is a very leisurely walking spot.

During our one day trip to Ubud, we stopped by the Monkey Forest Sanctuary and were delighted to see so many monkeys. These monkeys were not aggressive, but we did see one jump on a lady visitor because she may have been wearing something that caught the monkey’s attention, so visitors should be aware. We say many monkeys diving into water and swimming, many monkeys grooming eat other, and many monkeys looking for food or eating food that staff or tourists were feeding them (visitors can pay for corn to feed the monkeys). #timetotravel #bali #ubud #indonesia #monkeyforest

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a nice place to go to see some monkeys. But really this sanctuary is more about the forest and temple inside. The monkeys are an amusement. It's the ancient banyan trees with their flowing roots traversing the landscape and hugging the temple that really make this place worth the visit. You may only need a couple hours at most to see everything. Definitely a place to see if you're in Ubud. #wecreate

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a place that you can’t miss if you are in the city of Bali. As this landmark is far from the city, you need to arrange private transportation to get there or buy a half day tour which is quite popular. This tour will arrange round trip transportation in comfortable buses. The recommended sightseeing time is between one to two hours. The forest is well maintained, in fact this is a nature reserve and Hindu temple complex. There is lots of walking and stairs so be sure to wear suitable clothing and footwear Pay attention to the dress code. Short pants not accepted. You can rent sarong there to cover your legs. The hiking trails are not really demanding so you can go at your own pace to enjoy the amazing views of the surrounding jungle. It opens to the public everyday from 8:30 am to 6 pm. #createwithtrip #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip

What impressed me most when I went to Bali before was the Ubud Monkey Forest. The monkeys here really play with tourists. When you enter the park, you can see a huge green forest. You can also buy bananas to feed the monkeys. At this time, you will find that the monkeys will really try their best to climb on you to grab the bananas. They will also steal things from you, even the ticket in my hand will be snatched away! #StarWriterMaySurprise #familytravel #romanticgetaway #hotsummergoodplace #residentwriter #overseastravel

Monkey forest in Ubud is such a fun place for monkey lovers! These adorable animals are everywhere!

My favorite place of tourist attractions in Ubud! I like Monkeys so much so no wonder why i like this place. The monkeys here are more well behaved than the monkeys at Uluwatu temple. They were also so smart. i bought bananas and put them in my bag. then they just climbed to my body and took all the bananas. so funny and cute at the same time.

The sacred monkey forest park is located in Ubud, Bali. The park is surrounded by ancient trees and the unique Balinese macaques live here. Bali residents think they are the subordinates of the monkey Hanuman, so they worship the monkeys as gods. Before departure, we were told that the monkeys are stubborn, don't have eye contact with them, don't put their hands in the trouser pockets, don't carry colorful bags, don't feed, all the precautions are only one purpose---don't let the monkeys I feel that you have food or you will be robbed. I have heard more natural fears. What is the difference between a monkey and a robber? When I arrived at the park, I found out that it was not the case. There was a lot of food in the public area. The sweet potato corn was full of baskets, which were provided by the staff of the park. The monkeys enjoyed the delicious food and let the tourists pose. This is also a religious and cultural destination. The local residents protect the forest according to the Hindu Tri Hita Karana, and achieve spiritual happiness and physical health through the harmonious relationship between man, nature and God.

The Bali Monkey Forest is located in the Ubud area. The Balinese macaques can be seen on the streets near the park. They will look for food on the roadside. After entering the park, I found out that it was like a secret garden. Almost opaque green plants and small monkeys everywhere. The staff will say, "Don't feed them. If you don't feed them, they don't understand that you have food. You won't develop the habit of asking for food. It's good for them, and for ourselves." On the day of the trip, we just caught up with the local festivals. There are nearly 200 religious festivals in Bali every year. There is a temple in the center of the Monkey Park, but visitors cannot enter. Park tickets are 40k a person, open from 8:00 to 18:00.
