Sanur Sunset at Tanah Lot 海神廟日落

Sanur is a coastal stretch of beach east of Denpasar in southeast Bali (about a 30-minute drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport), which has grown into a little town in its own right. A 5.1 km (3.2 mi) area of Sanur's coastline, from Matahari Terbit Beach to Mertasari Beach, was reclaimed in 2008.

沙努爾是巴厘岛東南邊丹帕沙市延伸的海灘，距伍拉·賴國際機場車程約30分鐘，當地已發展出小的村落。

Tanah Lot 海神廟

海神廟位於印尼峇里島中西部海岸，為峇里島最重要的海岸廟宇之一。海神廟原文Tanah Lot在峇里語意指「海中的陸地」。

海神廟位於塔巴南，距丹帕沙約20公里，蓋在一個經海水沖刷而形成的離岸大岩石上，在海水漲潮時，與其連接的通道會被淹沒，無法通行，必須等待退潮才能進入廟宇參觀。海神廟是峇里島七座濱臨海岸廟宇的其中之一，每一座都在彼此視力可達範圍之內，形成一個西南岸的廟宇群。

傳說

海神廟據說是由15世紀時，一位來自爪哇岛的印度教僧侶，名叫Danghyang Nirartha所建立。他在南部遊覽時，因看到這邊有塊岩石發出耀眼的光芒而決定在此休息。Nirartha認為此地是個可祭拜海神的聖地，之後吩咐漁夫在岩石上蓋起這座廟。往後的幾世紀，海神廟成了峇里神話的一部分， 據說在建造廟宇的時候，遇到了大風浪的侵襲，在岌岌可危之時，Nirartha便解開身上繫的腰帶丟入海中，這個腰帶就變化成一條大海蛇保護廟宇不受侵襲。此外據說海神廟底座的海蝕洞裡會出現顏色黑白相間的海蛇守護此廟宇，防止惡靈和入侵者的騷擾。

Tanah Lot

Tanah Lot means "Land in the Sea" in the Balinese language. Located in Tabanan, about 20 kilometres North West of Denpasar, the temple sits on a large offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide.

Tanah Lot is claimed to be the work of the 16th-century Dang Hyang Nirartha. During his travels along the south coast he saw the rock-island's beautiful setting and decided to rest there. Some fishermen saw him, and bought him gifts. Nirartha then spent the night on the little island. Later he spoke to the fishermen and told them to build a shrine on the rock, for he felt it to be a holy place to worship the Balinese sea gods. The main deity of the temple is Dewa Baruna or Bhatara Segara, who is the sea god or sea power and these days, Nirartha is also worshipped here.

The Tanah Lot temple was built and has been a part of Balinese mythology for centuries. The temple is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese coast. Each of the sea temples was established within eyesight of the next to form a chain along the south-western coast. In addition to Balinese mythology, the temple was significantly influenced by Hinduism.

At the base of the rocky island, venomous sea snakes are believed to guard the temple from evil spirits and intruders. The temple is purportedly protected by a giant snake, which was created from Nirartha's selendang (a type of sash) when he established the island.
