Bali is a volcanic island, and today's itinerary is arranged for the Agung volcano, which is Bali's highest peak (3,142 meters above sea level). At noon, the top of the mountain was covered by clouds and mist. The road extended from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. The more uphill the slope, the greater the end of the motorcycle throttle, the end of the motorcycle throttle will slide. Indonesians and Thais seem not good at repairing Panshan Road. At the end of the road, there is still an hour to walk to the top of the mountain.
