    This is one of the oldest temple and also providing halls for the local Chinese to perform a ritual named Gong Tek for their deceased family members. I was here for the Gong Tek ritual, witnessing the Taoism culture being practiced and also the classic Teochew opera.

    (Translated by Google) In my opinion, this place is nice, cool leafy, cool and of course very comfortable. This place was inaugurated to commemorate the figure of the late Tjong Yong Hian. Mr Tjong Yong Hian is said to have been the richest man in Medan. Overall this place is very good and suitable for those of you who like photos, but don't be noisy and noisy, you have to be able to maintain your attitude. (Original) Menurut saya, tempat ini bagus, sejuk rindang, keren dan pastinya sangat nyaman. Tempat ini diresmikan untuk mengenang sosok almarhum Tjong Yong Hian. Bapak Tjong Yong Hian ini katanya merupakan orang terkaya di Kota Medan dulunya. Overall tempat ini sangat bagus dan cocok untuk kamu yang suka foto-foto, tapi jangan ribut dan berisik, harus bisa jaga sikap.

    Vihara Gunung Timur is one of the most beautiful buildings in Medan. It's a chinese style building with sophisticated yet artistic design. The temple overlooks a river. The people working there are also very welcoming and friendly. If you like architectural tourism, visiting this place is a must.

    This is the most magnificent and well-maintained historical Chinese temple in Medan. The environment is clean and well-organized. This time I had the chance to witness and participate in the annual "hungry gost" festival. Looking at the fire engulfing the paper houses and all the offerings were so mesmerizing. Definitely a lifetime experience.

    (Translated by Google) One of the destinations that you can visit premises walking in downtown Medan. Not too far from Cambridge Mall. The main reason this place does not get a rating of 4 is - the place is quite difficult to meet from the road because entry in limiting high zinc - we arrived already in the afternoon and allowed to go paying but did not see the gallery - the building is not so spacious so not so long in this place Tips - here morning when open - 5 o'clock closed (Original) Salah satu destinasi yang bisa kamu kunjungi denga berjalan kaki di pusat kota medan. Tidak terlalu jauh dari Cambridge Mall. Alasan utama tempat ini tidak mendapat rating 4 adalah - tempatnya lumayan susah di temui dari jalan karena masuk di batasi seng tinggi - kita datang sudah sore dan di perbolehkan masuk menbayar seadanya tapi tidak bisa melihat galeri - bangunan tidak begitu luas jadi tidak begitu lama di tempat ini Tips - kesini pagi hari saat buka - jam 5 sudah tutup

    Another historical building in medan built around 1940s. Mainly served as a worship place for buddhist & tao. The place is vast, located in the middle of city near governor house. In the outside they have mini pagoda. You can enter the worship place, they have many deities according to their belief. The architecture is very beautiful. Amazing

    Not known as popular tourist attraction. This temple is located at an isolated area and with nice old architecture. Worth to visit when you are in Medan.

    Active worship place for Chinese Buddhism and Taoism in Medan. An old worship place in a serene secluded area. Quite extensive numbers of Shrines and Chinese Gods/Goddess Statues. Might be a good place to interact and out learn Chinese believes.

    Since it's currently renovating I can't rate more than 3 stars. We were allowed to get inside the garden where we could see a pond with water lilies, Chinese graveyards possibly of Tjong Yong Hian and his wife, a Chinese style gazebo. However I was quite disappointed when I realized it's not really historical, the building were pretty new, old style but new building - I guess they're trying to recreate and making it clean but it's losing its value in my opinion.

    This monastery is one of the large monasteries in the middle of the city of Medan, its location around the banyan garden and is quite hidden because it is not too visible from the roadside, this monastery is well maintained and is still often used for worship and other celebrations such as Chinese New Year.

    A huge temple with beautiful sights. On ordinary days, there is not much to do but just look around and take photos. There might be changes in the atmosphere during some events but on ordinary day, expect nothing more than a quiet place

    One of the oldest Buddist temple in the city. As of July 2022, visitor can park the car inside the premise, just ask the guard to open the gate. PS: they do not accept placement of ancestor board anymore (or sin cu pai in Hokkien language) because it is full. And you are not allowed to release any aquatic animal through the temple anymore.

    This is a private Gallery n The resting place of Tjong Yong Hian n wife, the elder brother of Tjong Ah Fie. It is NOT open to public. However if some family members happen to be visiting they may open the Gallery for public visit. Otherwise it is locked. We happen to pass by and spoke to the guard there. He was kind enough to allow us into the garden for photography. As the Gallery was locked we couldn't see inside. Very well maintained garden n lily pond. Spectacular. Was told that his decendents are still living in Medan thats why it is well maintained wherelse almost all of Tjong A Fie's descendants have left the country n the nearest wealthy decendant is in Jakarta. A Fie's last resting place is in the outskirts n it may be the biggest in all of Medan.

    If you not really pay attention when you passing through Kejaksaan Street, you can miss this place. I ever asked what this place is when I was 7 years old and no one can answer it. Then, 9 months ago, I made my first visit to this place. I can't believe that there is beautiful garden in the heart of Medan city. The atmosphere and the air is good. Of course it is the good place to take photos. Tips: the gallery is still in renovation, but you can ask permission to take some photos at the garden.

    (Translated by Google) Too bad because the gallery is not opened ... when you want to see the contents of the gallery ... the garden is not wide ... but it is quite cool. It is free of charge but must fill the guest book first ... whereas you want to make a YouTube video about its history ... just can just record it outside ... see the video on YouTube: flowersien (Original) Sayang sekali karena gallery tidak dibuka ..padahal pingin lihat isi gallery nya..tamannya tidak luas..tetapi cukup sejuk.tidak dikenakan biaya tetapi harus mengisi buku tamu terlebih dahulu..padahal pingin buat video YouTube soal sejarahnya gmn..jadnya cuman bisa rekam diluarnya aja..lihat videonya di YouTube : flowersien

    (Translated by Google) The gallery has never been open to the public for reasons of renovation or there are no employees on duty. The word security ran out of Cheng Beng this year has just reopened. We will see later (Original) Gallery gak pernah di buka untuk umum dengan alasan direnovasi atau gak ada pegawai yang jaga. Kata security habis Cheng Beng tahun ini baru dibuka kembali. Kita lihat saja nanti
