My trip to Indonesia fulfilled my childhood adventure dream

Indonesia's scenery is truly unbelievably dreamy!
Volcanoes, blue fire, islands—it feels like an unreal adventure.
Although the whole journey was tiring and dangerous, it still fulfilled my childhood adventure dream.

📅【Time】
1. The twin volcanoes are located in Surabaya. From May to October, rainfall is relatively low, so this period is recommended for visiting.
2. The Bromo scenic area closes during local cultural ceremonies, so remember to check online before departure to avoid those days.

🪪【Visa】
Indonesia offers visa on arrival with two options:
1. Apply for an e-visa online in advance, which is fast and convenient;
2. Queue at the airport after landing to pay, which is also convenient.

💰【Currency】
WeChat Pay and Alipay are not accepted locally. It is recommended to bring a Visa/Mastercard credit card or cash. You can also exchange currency at Bank of China or foreign exchange counters at international airports (USD/IDR, about 3,000 RMB per person is enough, approximately 6 million IDR).

📶【Communication】
Search for Indonesian SIM cards on Trip.com, select the appropriate number of days, and have it delivered to your home.

🚗【Transportation】
It is recommended to find a travel agency on Trip.com to book a car package; they can help solve transportation issues like cars and boats.
