Assyuhada Mosque

by Buatan

The construction of the Masjid Asy-Syuhada involved the residents of Kampung Bugis and the Hindu Raja of Badung, Cokorda Ngurah Sakti. This historic mosque stands as evidence of the peaceful coexistence of Islam and Hinduism in Bali for many years. The mosque is situated in the middle of the village at Jl. Tukad Pekaseh, Serangan, South Denpasar, Denpasar City, Bali 80229, and serves as a hub for local Muslims' religious activities and a popular destination for those interested in learning about multiculturalism on the island. The mosque's ancient features, such as the old Quran, wooden pillars, and high pulpit, are a testament to its long-standing presence and historical significance in Bali.

The Masjid Asy-Syuhada is believed to be an original building, with only minor renovations such as replacing the roof with tiles and adding a dome. The mosque's interior features asbestos cement board on the ceiling and marble tiles on the prayer hall floor.

The mosque's architecture reflects a blend of Balinese and Bugis cultures. The Balinese influence is evident in the mosque's fence, roof, and decorative elements, while the Bugis culture is reflected in the pulpit, which is made of intricately carved wood and iron fencing. The wudu area, a separate building from the mosque, is a modern addition.

The peaceful coexistence of Balinese Hindus and Muslims in Kampung Bugis, Serangan, is a beautiful example of interfaith harmony. Despite belonging to different banjars, they are not geographically separated. During festivals such as Eid al-Fitr and Galungan, they visit each other's homes and exchange food, known as jootan in Balinese.

Taman Jepun

by Buatan

Denpasar, the capital city of Bali province, boasts a tourist destination that serves as a sanctuary for a wide range of frangipani flowers - the Bali Frangipani Palace. Situated on Jl. Hayam Wuruk Tanjung Bungkak, No. 104H, Sumerta Kelod, East Denpasar, this palace is the world's largest frangipani garden.

The palace serves as a conservation site for Indonesia's germplasm, with a particular focus on frangipani flowers. Oka Dipa established this frangipani-based flower garden in 2009 due to his personal preference for this flower. Initially, most of the flower seedlings were grown through his own cultivation efforts. However, the Department of Agriculture later provided assistance, leading to the planting of up to 400 different varieties of frangipani in this 2.5-hectare location.

Of these 400 varieties, 140 originate from Bali while the remaining 260 come from foreign countries, primarily Hawaii and Thailand. The Frangipani Palace houses several interesting features, including the Charles Plumier Monument, which greets visitors as they enter the garden. Plumier, a renowned French botanist, discovered the Frangipani genus named Plumeria. His classification work on over 4,000 plant species led to the identification of 700 new species, including the frangipani.

The palace's vast artificial lake, which lies directly in front of the La Jepun Restaurant, offers a refreshing and picturesque view. Numerous bird species, such as black and white swans, ducks, and other water birds, can be spotted here. Additionally, an international standard gateball field is present. The most recent attraction added to the Frangipani Palace is the pedal go-car game, introduced as one of the garden's recreational options from September 1, 2020.

Kebon Vintage Cars

by Buatan

Starting with a love for collecting wooden toy cars during his childhood, Pak Jos, the owner of "Kebon Vintage Cars," soon turned his passion into a hobby filled with enthusiasm when he finally bought his first vintage car in 1996. Since then, he has been collecting antiques and unique vintage cars in his private garage to fulfill his childhood dream.

In 2019, Pak Jos finally realized his lifelong dream by opening an antique car museum with the hope of sharing his love for antique cars and preserving the attraction and diversity of tourist destinations in Bali.

Pak Jos is currently an advisor to the Indonesian Vintage Car Fans Association (PPMKI) in Bali and is dedicated to preserving antique cars beautifully while keeping the community strong and cohesive.

Kebon exhibits more than 100 antique cars from around the world, ranging from pre-war era cars to well-known brands such as Chevrolet, Cadillac, Dodge, Pontiac, Morgan, Mercury, Plymouth, Hudson, Fiat, Mini Cooper, and many more.

Some of Indonesia's historical cars are also showcased, such as the 1948 Plymouth that belonged to the first lady of Indonesia (Soekarno's wife) - Ibu Fatmawati.

The restoration team requires a lot of attention and effort to restore and maintain each vehicle to near-original specifications, and most of the cars are still operational. Visitors can rent them for their event needs.

It is our hope that our diverse collection will offer our audience a panoramic view into the rich automotive heritage that cannot be found elsewhere in Bali.
