You can rent a car and then you can enjoy the view first before you go there. Once you get there, you can climb all the temples up through the top and you can enjoy the view again.

威杜裏：漂亮，因爲周圍的景色很美。如果你想去那裏遊覽，你要爬幾座小山。那裏的道路很美。你可以坐車過去。你可以租輛車，然後享受沿途的美麗景色。到那裏以後，你可以爬到山頂上，再次享受美麗的風景。

威杜裏：對，粉色的海灘。

Danu: So is it pink colored beach?

達努：是粉顏色的海灘嗎？

Widuri: Yes. The beach, the sand... the sand color is pink. I think it's because of the coral, the pink coral who came to the beach.

威杜裏：對。海灘上的沙子是粉色的。我認爲那是因爲海灘上的粉珊瑚。

Danu: Oh, that's very interesting.

達努：哦，那真有意思。

Widuri: Yes.

威杜裏：對。

Danu: So if there are komodos in Komodo Island, people cannot go to Komodo Island?

Widuri: No. If you go to Komodo Island, you have to be guided with a tour guide because you cannot touch them. You can only see the komodo from a distance.

威杜裏：不是。如果你去科莫多島，你一定要在導遊的帶領下游玩，因爲你不能碰科莫多巨蜥。你只能在遠距離欣賞科莫多巨蜥。
