Tegalalang rice terraces are one of the famous landscape symbols in Bali island, captivating tourists with their lush green color stretching across the hillsides.

When mentioning Bali, people often think of charming beaches, ancient temples or unique Hindu culture. However, in Bali, Tegalalang rice terraces are also one of the famous landscape symbols, attracting tourists.
