Went to Java and found the real-life "Lord of the Rings" forest.
When I was naughty as a child, adults would always say "I'll throw you to Java". At that time, I thought Java was a very distant place, but I didn't expect that it is only separated from Bali by a strait, and can be reached by ferry in 50 minutes! Compared to Bali, prices here are lower and the scenery is more unique.
In Indonesia, the most surprising place for me is this magical forest near South Menjangan Island, outside of Java, from Java Island to Bali Island and then to Komodo Island!
This super niche attraction is only known by locals in the area, because it looks like the forest in the Lord of the Rings movie, so they call it the "Lord of the Rings Forest".
De Djawatan Forest-Banyuwangi
No admission fee: 7500k (around 4 RMB)
No transportation: Use Grab or rent a car. It may be difficult to find a taxi for the return trip, so it is recommended to arrange transportation in advance.
Not much of a player: It's about a 1-hour drive from Wainan Dream Pier and a 1.5-hour drive from Yijin Volcano. You can plan to climb Yijin Volcano first, then go to the Lord of the Rings Forest, and finally take a ferry from Wainan Dream Pier.
