Bali & Xuzhou Wanderlust: Where Sun, Surf & Sacred Vibes Collide 🌴✨

If you crave a vibe that’s equal parts chill and adventure, Bali is seriously your dream destination! 😍 I spent my trip soaking up gorgeous beaches, exploring ancient temples, and living that “local culture” life. Here’s a sneak peek of my Bali highlights—and a bonus taste of Xuzhou!

First off, beach days are a MUST in Bali! Seminyak Beach and Legian Beach are both next-level for lounging, swimming, and catching epic sunsets. If you’re feeling daring, try surfing at Bliss Surfer Hotel Legian—the waves here are so fun and the staff are super friendly if you’re new to the sport!

Checking into Grand Seminyak - Lifestyle Boutique Bali Resort (address: Jl. Abimanyu Jl. Dhyana Pura, Seminyak, Kec. Kuta) was a treat. Spacious rooms with private pools and ocean views = serious vacay goals. Plus, the Harman Kardon speakers are a total flex for blasting your travel playlist. The rooftop Moonlite restaurant slaps for breakfast—the view over the beach is 🤩 and the food is sooo good! That spa? Total heaven, with relaxing treatments that’ll make you forget all your worries. Service is A+, and you’re close to both the nightlife and shopping but still get a chill, tranquil vibe. Heads up: Some areas could use a little refresh, and the price might feel a tad steep, but honestly, the experience is worth it!

For extra privacy, The Kasih Villas & Spa (Jl. Nakula Gg. Baik-Baik No.9, Seminyak) served major honeymoon energy. The rooms are squeaky clean, pools are bug-free (ssed), and the staff do a fab job with daily cleaning. If you’re picky about breakfast, just note it’s more basic, but the peaceful vibes will win you over!

Seeking epic views? The glass bridges at Bali Glass Bridge (main entrance) and Blangsingah Glass Bridge are total IG hotspots—you’ll feel like you’re floating above paradise! And you cannot miss Angel’s Billabong (7C8X+HHX, Sakti, Nusa Penida, open 06:00-20:00) and Broken Beach for otherworldly ocean scenery. Seriously, the water is so clear it looks like Photoshop IRL.

Culture buffs, listen up: Tirta Gangga (HHQQ+836, Jalan Raya Abang Desa Adat Jl. Raya Tirta Gangga, open 08:00-18:00) is absolutely magical with its water palace and lush gardens—it’s a total nd. And Penataran Agung Lempuyang Temple? The “Gateway to Heaven” photos are UNREAL. Don’t forget to dress respectfully when visiting temples!

Foodies, you’ll wanna check out Chez Gado Gado (Jl. Camplung Tanduk No.99, Seminyak). Their menu is loaded with Indonesian flavors and fusion treats—every bite is ✨ chef’s kiss ✨! Savor classics like nasi goreng or mix things up with their creative dessert list.

Don’t sleep on Bali’s famous rice terraces—walks here feel like stepping into a painting! And when you need a break from tropical heat, Tegenungan Waterfall is a sweet spot for a refreshing dip.

BONUS: If you’re heading to Xuzhou, check out JI Hotel (Xuzhou City Government) for a comfy stay right in the mingling heart of the city.

Bottom line: Bali’s energy is unmatched for beach lov
