Bali Beach Resort has plenty of attractions. It is a holiday paradise(樂園). The self-styled ‘Ultimate Island’ certainly has plenty for everyone.
Where in the world ?
Bali is located just off the eastern edge of the main Indonesian island of Java. To the east is the neighboring island of Lombok. To the south of Bali lies the expanse of the Indian Ocean, while to the north is the Bali Sea. The most popular resort with holidaymakers is Ubud north of Sanur.
When to go?
Bali has a tropical climate year round with an average daily temperature of 31℃(87℃F). The wet season is between October and April. The dry season is between May and September, and is the busiest time to visit the island as travelers take advantage of the long hot days and little rain.
Beach
Bali has a string of beaches, mainly in the south of the island. Head away from Bali’s beaches and a totally different world awaits you. Ubud is an easily accessible (接近的)jungle resort town with a good range of hotels, shops and restaurants. The active volcano of Mount Batur is a highlight and so are the mountain lakes.
Family fun
All of the resorts have plenty of facilities (設施)for families. In Ubud there is a monkey park, where young ones can see monkeys that are not kept in tiny cages and an elephant park where holidaymakers can ride an elephant.
Eating out
All of Bali’s holiday resorts offer international cooking to suit every tourist’s taste, with most of the better hotels having excellent restaurants. Indonesian Bintang beer is very popular.
Getting around
There are a limited number of local buses. The other public transport is to take the local “bemo” minibuses. These colourful little minibuses speed around the winding roads with fares negotiated (商議)on board, so it helps to speak a little of the local language. There are also taxis and both electric bikes and cars can be hired.

Kingsley Football Club went to Bali, Indonesia, to celebrate the end of a successful season. Only half the team returned alive.
Seven members of the team from Australia were dead , murdered in a terrorist bomb attack (恐怖爆炸襲擊) that killed around 200 people and injured another 300.
The world suffered another “September 11 ” on October 12 , when terrorists left bombs outside two busy nightclubs in the resort of Kuta Beach , Bali.
After the bombs exploded , flames rushed through the buildings, pulling legs , arms and heads off the people who lay in its path. Many of the people in the club that night now lie under plastic sheets in Bali, black and unidentifiable (無法確認的) even to their closest family members.
After news of the attack reached them, many parents flew out to Bali to look for their loved ones. One British girl was only identifiable to her parents because they recognized her belt buckle (皮帶扣) .
Bomb survivor , Richard Hechnier , a 29-year-old Australian said , “I saw people on fire, people carrying others. Most were bleeding. It was chaos. It was dark except for the flames.
The victims were mainly westerners and many of them were Australians. For many young people in Australia, a trip to Bali is the first place they would visit without their parents, either after their school exams or in the case of Kingsley, to celebrate the end of the sporting season.
France , Germany , Britain , America , Sweden , South Korea , Singapore and New Zealand as well as Australia and Indonesia have all lost some citizens.
Two British rugby (橄欖球) players from China's Hong Kong were confirmed dead. Another five members of the Hong Kong team and two supporters are missing.
And people from Japan , Finland and China have been hurt in the attack.
An international team of investigators (調查人員) are hunting for clues and questioning suspects responsible for the explosion.
US President George W. Bush and Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri agreed to work together to find those behind the attack. The US believes the bombing was the work of a local terrorist group linked to the al Qaeda network (基地組織) .
