As you already know by now, Bali is not a country. It is an island of the country Indonesia. It is also one of Indonesia’s most popular provinces. The island is at the westernmost part of the Lesser Sunda Islands. It lies on the eastern side of Java and the western side of Lombok. When in the province, you also get to explore its neighboring islands. One of the most popular is Nusa Penida, an island full of beautiful ocean views. Two other famous islands near Bali are Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. The capital of the province is Denpasar. It is also the city with the most number of inhabitants. As you already know by now, the island’s primary religion is Hinduism. It composes about 82% of the total island population. This is a significant change compared to the rest of Indonesia’s Islamic community. Bali’s kind of Hinduism is somewhat different from that of India. While it is similar in most ways, there are a few differences, especially in a few practices. The island was able to gain popularity in the 1980s. From then on, there were a lot of tourism-related businesses that locals were able to put up. Such businesses compose about 80% of the island’s economy. The island is popular for its arts. This includes its unique show of sculpture, paintings, dances, and music. Aside from its culture and music, the island is also famous for its marine species. The island is part of the Coral Triangle. This means that it has the most number of reef-building coral species in the country. No matter which side of the island you look at, there is always something to see in Bali. While the rest of Indonesia is rich and beautiful, Bali is a beauty on its own. Its diversity and culture are what makes Bali a destination worth visiting.
