Wonderful Bali in Sugar Rush Ride - TXT Music Video: The 4 Bali Destination

A small island that never tires of showing its beauty, that's how I'd call Bali. What’s more, in January 2023, Bali became the shooting location for the Korean boy band Tomorrow X Together (TXT) MV. Pronounced as "Tomorrow by Together", the name TXT is aimed at a young talented boyband who dreams of becoming the next worldwide breakthrough artist.

As we know, the Korean entertainment world is never half-hearted in producing a work; they pay attention to every detail and only shoot in the most picturesque settings. And in this case, they choose Bali.

Isn’t it amazing? As someone who travels to Bali quite often, I feel a sense of pride that the island has been selected for this filming.

Well, I don't think they picked the wrong place, because Bali is a world-class tourist destination. Moreover, Bali's beauty is diverse, spanning from the island's stunning natural beauty and exotic cultural traditions to its thriving urban centres. Even the TXT boys said they had a great time working on their project in Bali.

3. Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall

The third shooting spot for the MV ‘Sugar Rush Ride’ is a waterfall in the Banyu Wana Amertha tourist destination. Located in the city of Buleleng, Banyu Wana Amertha is a popular tourist location due to the presence of four separate waterfalls within a narrow area. Additionally, the spots are close enough to one another that you may walk from one waterfall to the next. The main area of the waterfall is only a 20-minute walk from the parking lot, and it's really easy to get to.

As seen in the MV 'Sugar Rush Ride', the waterfall at Banyu Wana Amertha is stunning, looking like a white curtain as it falls from above. The surrounding cliffs and verdant foliage make this waterfall even more magnificent than any other waterfall.

If you want to visit Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall, it's a good idea to bring a swimsuit or a change of clothes. The cool air of the Buleleng plains and clean spring water are the perfect combinations for swimming in the Banyu Wana Amertha waterfall.
