The Tale of Balingkang

How love united two worlds.

Batur is home to Bali’s oldest indigenous civilisation, where the mighty Kingdom of Balingkang once thrived. In the 9th Century AD, the kingdom saw a flourishing trade and cultural exchange with envoys from strange lands – Song Dynasty of China. Out of this connection grew the Tale of Balingkang – a love story like none other.
