More Chinese are Bali-bound, drawn by isle's exotic scenery

More Chinese are traveling to Indonesia to enjoy the picturesque views of Bali island and the rich cultural heritage and exotic scenery of other Indonesian destinations.

Tourists from China numbered 960,000 last year, the Indonesian embassy in Beijing said. Indonesia aims to attract 2 million Chinese arrivals this year.

"Bali island is the most popular Indonesian destination among Chinese travelers ... Newlyweds love to have their honeymoons there, and it's a wonderful resort for families, especially those with kids," said Dai Yu, marketing director of the tourism department at Ctrip, a major Chinese online travel agency.
