Bali, Island province in Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia

Located between Java and Lombok, Bali spans across 5,780 square kilometers of land with mountains, rice terraces, and coastal areas.

European colonization of Bali began in 1597 when Dutch explorer Cornelis de Houtman discovered the island, leading to subsequent military control.

The Hindu religion shapes daily life in Bali through traditional ceremonies, temple offerings, dance performances, and communal gatherings called banjar.

The provincial capital Denpasar contains the main airport, government offices, and commercial centers, serving as the primary entry point for visitors.

The UNESCO-recognized Subak irrigation system demonstrates agricultural engineering through water temples and cooperative water management for rice cultivation.
