Tabanan is the name of one district and town in Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a tourist town there is still some interesting aspects to it. Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch were fighting over control of the island.
One of the more positive historical points of interest is the Subak Museum, located close to the main bypass road. While the museum itself is nothing special, it document one of the most important social/economic/culture in situation in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to the 600AD, Bali has been using a system of un-mechanized rice cultivation and water management. Balinese rice cultivation is famous all over the world for its efficient use of irrigation water. At the heart of irrigation management are the water user associations called subak. They are the backbone of Balinese rice cultivation.
