#Rainy season destination 🙏 : Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park Taman Budaya Garuda Wisnu Kencana Bali Travel 📝 : An amazing sculpture park with a main attraction of a large statue. Pay extra to enter inside and it's worth it. The design and construction of the statue is intricately detailed, and you also get a great view from the top and glass floor to see the ironwork inside. The surrounding park is also beautifully carved. 📍Address: Uluwatu St, Ungasan, South Kuta, Badung Regency, Bali 80364, Indonesia

📍10 nights 11 days Bali travelogue 🏝️Kuta 2 days - Sanur 2 days - Ubud 5 days - Seminyak 2 days A Bali trip planned a week before departure I finally achieved my Bali dream, which was a travel destination I really wanted to visit It was my first time traveling alone for this long, but it wasn't difficult because of the friendly Balinese people It's a travel destination that Australians often visit, so I had no problem communicating in English and the food suited me well, so I had a good time 📍I got a great shot on the Batur Jeep Sunset Tour (joined the group locally) 📍On the way from Ubud to Seminyak, I took a great shot on the Uluwatu 1-person private tour and was dropped off at a new accommodation during the tour It's hard to tour alone, but Trip.com has a product that allows 1-person tours, so I made a reservation and had a great time 🍹 #ThailandFlightEvent #BaliTravel #SoloTravel #PrivateTour

On the way to GWK Garuda Wisnu Kencana, the slope is quite steep, and coupled with Bali's tropical climate, you will sweat profusely after walking for a while. In this situation, Mixue Ice Cream is like an oasis in the desert, so I immediately decided to go in and buy some ice cream to enjoy a moment of coolness. Mixue's ice cream has a dense texture, sweet but not greasy, and paired with a cool drink, it instantly quenches thirst and cools down, making people feel extremely happy. Affordable prices and a wide range of choices If you are heading to GWK, you may want to find a Mixue to rest and replenish your energy before setting off again. This is definitely the most affordable and satisfying way to cool off! #JanuaryGoodPlaces2025

#January Good Places 2025 GWK Condor Square is a must-visit when visiting Bali, where in addition to a number of shops to browse, there is also a shopping center offering a variety of souvenirs. However, the prices here are on the high side, after all, mostly designed for tourists. If you want to buy some special souvenirs or souvenirs, you can still find many options here. In addition to shopping, it is also friendly to families with children. There is a small slide in the square where children can play, while parents can take the opportunity to relax and enjoy a moment of tranquility. This kind of parent-child entertainment facility is really too courteous! If you are a shopaholic and want to take care of your children, GWK Condor Plaza is a good choice.

When you get off the plane, you can see a huge statue, which is very eye-catching. It is Vishnu, the god of protection and the guardian of Garuda Wisnu. This trip was cancelled due to volcanic eruptions and volcanic ash, causing everyone's schedule to change repeatedly🌋 So far, in the name of the "Guardian God", I hope that disasters will stay away, all beings will be safe, and have a happy vacation🙏 Below is a simple guide and personal experience 🌟🦅Gundam Eagle Square 🚗From the airport or Uluwatu area to GWK (Ungasan area) It is very convenient, about half an hour drive🚗 🤳If you just want to take pictures, you can reserve 60-90 minutes. The highlights of the three check-in areas are the huge bronze statue of Garuda, the bust of Vishnu, and the bust of Garuda. The photos were taken very quickly (there are "Best Photo Spots" marked in the scenic area, Figures 1 to 10) ⌚️The time was mainly spent on queuing for tickets, queuing for shuttle buses, and traveling to the scenic spots. If you need to enter the statue to visit, you need to pay an additional ticket (about 120 yuan) and must visit within the specified time. The whole tour is explained in English, 45 minutes (must follow the tour, cannot log in alone) The tour mainly introduces the construction background, history, process, and the story behind the statue (Figure 11-14) There is not much scenery on the top, and a few glass windows can overlook Bali (Figure 15) 💃There are regular performances in the middle of the square. The characteristic Tali Legong dance is ornamental and worth seeing.

The main attraction that makes tourists interested in vacationing to GWK Bali is because at GWK Bali there is the tallest statue in Indonesia. The Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue has a height of 75 meters and a width of 65 meters. #triplocal #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

It is an impressive tourist attraction. The main statue of Garuda is really amazing, as it claimed as one of the tallest statue in the world! GWK is a beautiful site, be ready to walk and to climb some stairs and hills. The landmarks are stunning and the whole site makes you little surrounded by gigantic men made artworks. Inside the beautiful piece of Vishnu there is small museum. There is a shuttle for those who have trouble walking. I would definitely recommend you to use the shuttle. A map containing routes to visit different spots will be provided. Worth once a visit. #summervacation#hikingtrails

📍GWK Cultural Park, Bali GWK Cultural Park was built to devote the Hindu God Wisnu / Vishnu and his company bird, Garuda. When i came there, the statue wasn’t complete yet. The Vishnu statue and the Garuda statue were still separate. I heard that they finished the statue in 2018. It took them 6 years to complete the statue. GWK statue is the tallest statue in Indonesia so far. Not only seeing the statue, we also can watch some Balinese traditional dances. I’m always excited seeing traditional dances. #givethanks #historicallandmarks #givethanks

#balilife If you’re in Bali, Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) Cultural Park is definitely a must-visit! 🙌 I went there recently and wow, the vibe was massive – literally! 😂 The giant Garuda Wisnu statue is soooo impressive, you can even spot it from far away! 📸🗺️ It’s like Bali’s own version of a superhero monument! What I loved: ✅ The cultural shows are happening throughout the day – traditional dances, Kecak fire performance, and some super cool stories about Balinese legends! 🕺🔥🎭 ✅ The view from up there is gorgeous! You can see all the way to the sea 🌊🌅. The park itself is super spacious and perfect for just strolling around and snapping lots of photos! 📷✨ ✅ They also have cafes and food stalls, so don’t worry about getting hungry. I grabbed an iced coffee and chilled for a bit ☕🍦. But okay, let’s be honest… ⚡ It’s really hot 🥵 – lots of open space with not much shade, so I recommend going in the late afternoon to catch the sunset and avoid the worst heat ☀️🌇. ⚡ Some parts have extra charges like for the shuttle and entering the statue, so keep some extra cash ready 💸😉. ⚡ Walking can get a little tiring, especially with the uphill paths, but you can rent a buggy – totally worth it if you wanna save energy! 🚐✨ Overall, I really enjoyed the vibe! 💕 Whether you’re into culture, photography, or just wanna see something epic, GWK is a great spot to explore. 🎡🗿🌴 I went there with zero expectations and left with tons of photos and good memories! 📷💫 💡 Pro tip: Book your ticket online to save time and maybe even get discounts! 😉 #baliadventures #throwback #travelasia #travelphotography #gwkbali #gwkculturalpark #gwkbaliindonesia #bali #balitrip #balitravel #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #indonesia #indonesiatrip #indonesiatravel #indonesia🇮🇩

#balilife Lovely place! Tickets were great a little expensive - but then we see just how much work it is to keep the place maintained.. I understood! The grass are all cut nicely, the lights shine on everything beautiful, the natural walkways and human made ones are AMAZING! The vibe of the place is crazy - we got in and felt to take our shoes off and just really soak it all in! 😍 The views are wild! You don't really grasp just how big the statue is until you're further away.. Because you then see it still clearly and it clicks like "wow, this is actually THAT big!" The detail from sitting right underneath it is crazy. And after sunset the lights change colour and so does the statue with it! 😍 Really recommend!

Visited this place and was in absolute awe. Definitely recommend if you're in Bali, Indonesia. 📍Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park #bali #travel #tourist #history #museum #beautiful_indonesia

#historicallandmarks #bali #balitrip📍 #baliculture #culturepark #beautiful #natural #indonesia #photospot #localguides #familytrip #バリ島 #ばり #インドネシア Indonesia 🇮🇩 Bali Culture Park is so Beautiful Place for photo shoot. In Night lighting up also beautiful 🤩. Recommend ; to use buggy because a little far from gate to photo spots . Bali Big Landmark and stone walls road is really amazing views.

During my Bali trip, one of the places my travelmate and I were genuinely looking forward to was Garuda Wisnu Kencana. We’d seen photos and videos of the massive statue online and were super curious to see it in real life. I mean, how often do you get to see something as huge as a building that’s also a cultural icon? We were quite excited! . When we arrived, our first impression was that the place was huge. The statue itself is breathtaking in scale and detail — definitely one of those “wow” moments when you see it with your own eyes. We were also hoping to snap a few nice shots, and at the right angles, the statue does make a great backdrop. . But the experience wasn’t as pleasant as we’d hoped. From the entrance, we had to take a shuttle and then walk quite a distance just to get close to the statue. That alone took us about 30 to 45 minutes, and we hadn’t even started exploring yet. We initially planned for a quick visit, but just getting in and out ended up taking over 1.5 hours. (We were lucky that it was either dry or just drizzling lightly — if it had rained any heavier, we wouldn’t have been able to walk to the statue building at all.) . Another thing that caught us off guard was the hidden cost involved. We had already paid the entrance fee, but when we got to the statue building, we found out — only after walking all the way down the red aisle to the end — that there was an additional fee to go inside. It felt like a waste of time walking in and was quite frustrating. The whole place gave off the vibe of being overly commercialised, kind of like Singapore’s Sentosa, where every section feels like a separate attraction that requires more payment. . What made it slightly more confusing was the lack of clear guidance. While there was signage, it wasn’t very easy to follow. We spent a good amount of time just figuring out where to go, which added to the overall exhaustion. . In the end, although the statue was impressive, the overall experience didn’t quite live up to our expectations. . Would I recommend it? If you’re really into cultural monuments or want that perfect Instagram shot, maybe. But I’d say — manage your expectations. It’s beautiful, but may not be the smoothest or most enjoyable visit. . Don’t forget to bring insect repellent, a face mist, and an umbrella or raincoat too — just in case! . 📍Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park Jl. Raya Uluwatu, Ungasan, Kec. Kuta Sel., Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80364, Indonesia .
