My bestie begged for three days and finally got this list! This lesser-known city in Indonesia is a natural backdrop for stunning photos!

🌋 Local travel advantages:
This place is a hidden gem secretly tucked away by Lonely Planet! Volcano hot springs on the left ♨️, crystal-clear bays on the right 🌊, and prices are only half of Bali’s! No crowds fighting for spots, wearing a sundress and snapping photos will look like National Geographic shots, and your friends will be bombarding you for the location on social media~

🚗 Transportation guide:
▫️ From Jakarta: 2-hour direct flight to Lampung Airport (💰ticket about 300 yuan)
▫️ From Bandung: Take the vintage sightseeing train (4 hours 💰80 yuan, panoramic volcano views from the window!)
▫️ City transport: Renting an electric scooter is most convenient (💰30 yuan/day) Remember to wear a straw hat for sun protection~

📸 Top 6 photo spots:
❶ Krakatoa Volcano Viewing Platform
🌋 World-class active volcano as the backdrop! Wear denim shorts + Martin boots for a post-apocalyptic vibe, best to come at sunrise

❸ Sultan Palace Ruins
