About Bali (Test)
Bali is a province of Indonesia, which is located between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. It is one of the country's 34 provinces with the provincial capital at Denpasar towards the south of the island. Hinduism religion and Balinese culture is so well-blended in the daily life of the population. Bali is also the most popular tourist destination in Indonesia and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including traditional and modern dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking, and music.
The main tourist locations are Kuta beach, and its outer suburbs of Legian and Seminyak, the east coast town of Sanur, in the center of the island Ubud, to the south of the Ngurah Rai International Airport, Jimbaran, and the newer development of Nusa Dua and Pecatu. Its attractive surroundings, diverse tourist attractions, excellent international and local restaurants, and the friendliness of the local people are the important drivers for Bali to receive the Best Island award from Travel and Leisure in 2010.
Australia is still on the top of tourist suppliers to Bali, however, since 2011, China has displaced Japan as the second-largest of the list due to the impact of ACFTA and new direct flights to Bali.
