Pura Taman Ayun
Besides Kuta I've visited other tourist attractions in Bali, Pura Taman Ayun Mengwi.The word "Pura" means the Temple. Taman Ayun in Bali language, meaning beautiful garden.
Taman Ayun is one of the tourist destinations in Bali which is a relic of the king of Mengwi In ancient times. This temple was built in the typical architecture of Bali which has a range of typical Balinese carved ornaments. This temple is surrounded by fish ponds which makes this temple floating above the water. This temple is located in Badung Menguwi village about 18 km from Denpasar.

This temple was built around 1634 by the first king of mengwi. Pura Taman Ayung has three functions: First as "Pura Penyawangan", which means the place of prayer. The second temple serves to unite people. The third temple also has an economic function because the water contained in the pool is also used as a source of water for irrigation.
