Many tourists both domestic and abroad who say this place should be visited if you on a trip in Bali Island.


The most highlight on Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park is known as GWK is a statue of Garuda Wisnu which symbolizes the manifestation of Lord Vishnu as a gods keeper by the Hindu Bali residents by driving a eagle that serves him. The plan of Garuda Wisnu statue will be made approximately 120 meters high with a wingspan of 60 meters. If in United States is identical with the statue of Liberty probably in Bali will be identical with the statue of Garuda Wisnu which has similarities huge and high. But until now the project of sculpture construction is still pending and is not known clearly the reason.


If you visit GWK then you will see some parts of the statue that some have been made but have not been arranged so they put it in several different places. Some finished parts include body parts, hands and heads of Lord Vishnu as well as parts of heads and bodies of Garuda, these statues are made of copper material and carved by famous carvers from Bali. According to information, in 2018 Garuda Wisnu sculpture project will be resumed, so that later this statue is expected to become a symbol of the island of Bali.
