Barong Landung

Barong Landung is a holy big dolls characterize Balinese man (black doll) and Chinese woman (white doll).  It proves an interracial  marriage and good relationship between Bali and China long time ago.

Cultural acculturation also can be witnessed till these days. Many ancient Chinese sites can be found in Bali. 

These Barong Landungs now become sacred temple's paraphernalia at some holy places in Bali as a symbol of respecting the Chinese culture's influences in Bali.
