Description
Gili Lyang is located in the Bali sea. The island is relatively underdeveloped and has been noted for its plant diversity and high concentrations of oxygen.[1] Several villages are located on the island, and a 2019 scholarly article notes that the local population relies heavily on local plants for food and medicine.[1] The island traditionally suffered from water shortages but infrastructure has gradually been improved and wells dug.[2]
The island's unusually high concentrations of oxygen have led to Gili Lyang being considered as a potential tourism hub.[3][1]
