　　Waters from the temple at the rear of this site feed the pond in the front, which overflows with pretty lotus blossoms.

Must-see attractions

　　Every evening beginning after 5pm, up to 20,000 big herons fly in to Petulu, a village about 2.5km north of Jl Raya Ubud, squabbling over the prime perching places before settling into the trees beside the road and becoming a tourist attraction. 　　The herons, mainly the striped Java pond species,...

　　This modest palace and its temple, Puri Saren Agung, share a compound in the heart of Ubud. Most of its structures were built after the 1917 earthquake and the local royal family still lives here. You can wander around most of the compound and explore the many traditional, though not...
