Hey everyone! Today I’d love to share with you my visit to Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, this mythical water temple complex near Bedugul, in Bali,Indonesia. Its ethereal beauty has long attracted the gaze of admirers from around the globe.
大家周末好！这次我来和你们分享印尼的水神庙的几张照片和介绍。这一庙宇群在巴厘岛中北部的Bedugul附近，以独特的外形和缥缈的水上仙境般的周边景致而吸引着世界各地的游人前来观瞻。
Pura Bratan is built in 1633, located on the shores of beautiful Lake Bratan (Lake of Holy Mountain), a main source of irrigation in central Bali. This temple complex is used for offerings ceremony to the Balinese water, lake and river goddess Dewi Danu. You can see how important this temple complex is for Indonesian people, since it’s even featured in 50,000-rupiah (second to 100,000-rupiah) banknote of Indonesia.
水神庙建于1633年，坐落于美丽的圣山湖(布拉坦湖）岸。圣山湖是巴厘岛中部灌溉用水的主要源头。当地人在这些庙宇里祭祀巴厘岛水湖河女神Dewi Danu。庙宇群的身影还被印在印尼钞票五万卢比的背面（仅次于十万卢比的面额），可见它在印尼人民心目中的神圣地位。
Part of this temple complex, the 11-storey temple in the photos is dedicated to Shiva and his consort Parvathi. Buddha’s statue is also enshrined in this temple.
庙宇群中十一层高的主庙用来供奉印度教三大主神之一的湿婆（苦行/毁灭/再生之神）和他的配偶雪山女神。庙里的神龛中还珍藏着佛主的雕像。
Located 1200 m above sea level, this lake area is considerably colder than the lower regions on the island, which is a real bless when travellors get enough or too much heat in most other places. I felt so refreshed when I reached the lake in the late afternoon, from the sweltering South. The clouds and the colour of the sky were changing rapidly, and the breeze turned into a heavy blow in a few minutes, making ripples on the water. Shrouded in light mist and surrounded by lush greens, the temples looked truly enchanting at the water edge.
由于海拔一千两百多米，圣山湖及周边地区要比巴厘岛炎热的低海拔地区凉快不少，是颇受欢迎的避暑胜地。我从闷热的南边一路来到湖区这一块，凉爽的空气拂面，感觉非常舒服。在庙宇群间穿行，天空的色彩和云朵变幻无常，缓缓吹拂的轻风也迅速升级为强劲的狂风，在湖面掀起一片片涟漪。水神庙笼罩在薄雾之中，背靠青山，繁花掩映，绿树环抱，一派水上仙境般的迷人风光。
