除了巴厘岛，另外一个度假天堂，你知道在哪里吗？

为什么去龙目岛？

长久以来，龙目岛都在与其隔海相望的巴厘岛的熠熠星光下黯然失色。不过一向有传言说龙目岛正在成为一个异乎寻常的的去处。龙目岛上有怡情养性的白色沙滩、气势磅礴的海浪、林木葱郁的内陆区域以及在烟草种植地和稻田间弯曲的步行小道，整个海岛洋溢着浓郁的热带风情。当然，你也不会错过醒目的Gunung Rinjani，它是印尼的第二高的火山，高峰上有温泉和令人目眩神迷的火山湖。

Lombok has long been overshadowed by the shining stars of Bali, just across the sea. But rumour has it that Lombok is becoming an outlandish destination. With its soothing white sand beaches, surging waves, wooded interior and winding footpaths between tobacco fields and rice paddies, Lombok has a tropical feel. Of course, you won't miss the striking Gunung Rinjani, Indonesia's second highest volcano, with its high peaks topped by hot springs and a dazzling volcanic lake.

这样的景致不计其数。龙目岛的南部海岸线得益于大自然的鬼斧神工：这里有美到让人窒息的碧绿海岸、国际顶级的冲浪点和高耸的巨大海岬。

Such sights are innumerable. Lombok's southern coastline is blessed with breathtaking turquoise beaches, some of the best surfing spots in the world, and towering giant headlands.

多年来，龙目岛一向被宣传为印尼下一个旅游热点区域。愿望最终走进实际，龙目岛新建了国际机场，并且日益遭到全球旅行者的重视。龙目岛的繁荣年代依然到来。

For years, Lombok has been billed as Indonesia's next tourist hotspot. The hope has finally come true, with Lombok's new international airport and growing popularity among global travelers. Lombok's boom years have yet to come.

什么时候去龙目岛？

龙目岛全年炎热潮湿，属于典型的热带气候，旱季十分显着（大致为10月末至次年4月）。气候最枯燥的时刻就是旅游旺季的7月和8月。旱季是参与当地节庆的绝佳机遇，比方蔚为壮观的Perang Topat播央节（11月或12月在Pura Lingsar举办）、Peresean短棍格斗赛（12月）或许Narmada水牛赛（4月）。

Lombok is hot and humid throughout the year, with a typical tropical climate, with a significant dry season (roughly from late October to April). The driest times of the year are July and August, the peak tourist season. The dry season is the perfect opportunity to take part in local festivals such as the spectacular Perang Topat festival (held in Pura Lingsar in November or December), the Peresean baguette fights (December) or the Narmada buffalo races (April).

马塔兰

龙目岛的首府由若干个界线含糊的小镇组成：Ampenan（港口）、马塔兰（行政中心）、Cakranegara（商业中心，简称“Cakra”）、Bertais和东边的Sweta（汽车站所在地）。这片东西跨过12公里的土地上生活着50万人。这里可看的旅游景点不多，圣吉吉（Senggigi）近在咫尺。
