| A team representing Bali World Heritage will attend a final meeting at UNESCO headquarters in Paris in the next few weeks regarding a proposal to give three sites on the island world heritage status. One of the sites is a magnificent landscape of terraced rice fields with a traditional irrigation system (subak) in Jatiluwih, Tabanan. The others are Pura Taman Ayun temple in Badung and Pakerisan River in Gianyar. Each site has it own uniqueness. Jatiluwih as the first site has 300 hectares of rice fields and was 700 meters above sea level. Taman Ayun is surrounded by a wide waterway with various floating flowers and Pakerisan River is the place of eight historical temples including the famous Goa Gajah Temple and Pegulingan Temple. This is a final interview that will determine whether the three sites should be honored as world heritage sites. |
