Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) is a trade and cultural center located at a hill near Jimbaran. The view from the area is very beautiful which we can see Jimbaran beach and the sea from above. Gaaruda Wisnu Kencana is not an ancient temple area, but a modern real estate designed by famous architect Nyoman Nuarte. It is unique that all the buildings are made by carving the white rock of the hill. From the top of Garuda Wisnu Kencana, we can rent a telescope to see Jimbaran and the sea from the height.
