Overview — English
Taman Ujung, officially known as Taman Soekasada Ujung, is an expansive former royal water palace constructed in 1919 by the King of Karangasem. Situated near the coastline, this immense park beautifully merges traditional Balinese architecture with Chinese elements and European colonial aesthetics.
The complex is defined by three massive interconnecting pools, graceful stone bridges, and floating pavilions. One of the most popular activities is climbing the steep stairs to the roofless pillared pavilion perched on a hill, which rewards visitors with a stunning 360-degree panorama encompassing the ocean, the mountains, and the entire manicured garden layout. Owing to its majestic scale and romantic atmosphere, Taman Ujung is widely considered one of Bali's premier locations for pre-wedding photography.
Travel Tips

- 3.Naiklah ke paviliun pilar di atas bukit pada sore hari untuk mendapatkan pencahayaan terbaik tanpa harus berhadapan dengan panas terik.
