Indonesia travel guide is here! Direct flights to this stunning "Land of a Thousand Islands" are back!

Preface

Recently, more and more people have been posting their outbound travel stories on WeChat Moments, and flights around the world have gradually resumed, including Bali, the island you've all been dreaming of!

Yes! On March 3rd, the first group of Chinese tourists departed from Xiamen, arriving in Bali on a direct domestic flight. They were greeted at the airport by the Director of Tourism and presented with exquisite souvenirs. The hospitality and sense of ceremony were simply irresistible!

There's more good news! It's that time of year again when flights change seasons. Starting March 26, 2023, airports across China will begin implementing the summer-autumn flight schedule.

To popular international tourist destinations like Bali, many places will resume direct flights to and from the island. Among them, the Hangzhou = Bali flight will resume at the end of March. AirAsia Sriwijaya will resume the Hangzhou = Bali route with one flight per week. Happy it’s back!

In addition, the number of flights has increased significantly since the change of seasons, and the prices of some international routes have dropped significantly. I checked and found that some one-way tickets from various places to Bali in April were less than 1,000! What a great deal!

No more talking, I’m going to check the plane tickets and get ready to take off!

Indonesia! I recommend you go now!

However, because Bali is so famous, many people forget that it's actually part of Indonesia. From its beaches to its crater lakes, its modern cities to its pristine forests, you could spend three days and three nights exploring just about any of its locations!

So when is the best time to travel to Indonesia? April onwards! Perfect! Indonesia is a tropical country with a varied climate, generally divided into two seasons. Notably, the rainy season here is the opposite of other Southeast Asian countries: the rainy season (November to March) and the dry season (April to October).

As we all know, the rainy season is not conducive to tourism, as it rains almost every day. The dry season is relatively less rainy and more suitable for travel. Therefore, the next few months will be the best time to travel to Indonesia! It’s almost here!

Currently, Indonesia's immigration policy is also very friendly, with visa on arrival! The team only needs the original passport (valid for 6 months + blank page)

Starting from March 1st, you don’t even need to take a nucleic acid test on the return trip. You only need to upload the test kit yourself! I can’t wait.

Indonesia! Who says there’s only Bali?

Indonesia is more than just Bali! In fact, besides being the world's largest island nation, it also has the most volcanoes.
