Water Palace


We took a tour the first day we were there. They have lots of guides available to take you anywhere you want. We took off to visit a few of the landmarks in the area. One of the stops was the Taman Tirta Ganga – a “resting place” built by one of the Kings. It is now referred to as a water palace with traditional Balinese architecture with the influences of both Chinese and Western design.
The most famous pool is filled with warrior statues and pads you can walk about on, weaving through the various statues. The water is unbelievably clear and the surrounding area is picture perfect. People come and spend the day here because there is also a swimming pool that anyone can use. It’s also the location of many weddings, what with the gorgeous views, fountains, pools and a fabulous bridge.
