Despite being traffic congestion, the Ceking terrace attraction remains an excellent site to visit. As witnessed by the hundred or so foreign travellers who drop by the area of Tegallalang, Gianyar everyday. People flock to this location to admire the orderly arrangement of terraced paddy field that line the cliff there.

Although a beautiful sight to behold from above, many travelers descend to the bottom of the cliff to take pictures with the terraced paddies as a backdrop. Others enjoy the beauty of Ceking from a distance, namely around the art shop to the west.
The large number of tourist visits, has become a blessing for the people living in the surrounding area who run restaurants and craft shops that sell paintings, key chains, statues and various other Balinese handicrafts.
Ceking terrace has becomes a favorite destination among foreign travelers, but there are still some issues that need to be resolved to maximize enjoyment of this location. The main problem is the traffic caused by the poorly managed parking services in the region. Sometimes the traffic is so bad that travel agencies divert their guest to Jatiluwuh, Tabanan, where visitors can enjoy a panorama of terraced paddy field that is quite similar to that of Ceking.
Headman of Tegallalang, Dewa Rai Sutrisna, revealed that despite the large contribution that visitors to Ceking provide towards the economy of the local people, traffic remains an issue. Therefor efforts are now being made to arrange the parking situation to the south of Ceking. “This parking area will be able to accommodate 70 cars but for the time being, it is still under construction so can only accommodate 30 cars,” he explained.
