Decoding the mystery of the terraced fields that fascinate tourists on Bali island

When mentioning Bali, people often think of charming beaches, ancient temples or unique Hindu culture. However, in Bali, Tegalalang rice terraces are also one of the famous landscape symbols, attracting tourists.

Tegalalang attracts tourists with its lush green terraced fields stretching along the hillsides. The fields are cultivated using the traditional Subak irrigation system, created by Hindu monks in the 9th century and recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage.

Thanks to this system, water is led from streams and rivers to each field, creating harmony between agricultural production, beliefs and community - a unique feature in Balinese life.
