Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

Pre-CNY temple trip, so as to be able to know the place better...hehehe...talk about being kiasu plus kiasi...

Wrong timing to be there, the temple were having some minor renovation when i reached.


They moved the deities altar to the side platform.


Until when they finish doing up the painting and renovation, then will they move the deities back to the main altar right inside the temple.


Behind the temple...


I was trying the capture the how the rest of the koi in the pond were following the white koi,hehehe....

Which is fresher? The mango at Penuin wet market...


...those near the Jodoh bazaar....


...or the ones behind the temple? Hehehehe...


This place still not very populated by too many tourist tho...just some chickens and birds,hehehe...


Talk about curi ayam,hehehe...


Chicken and pigeon living in harmony together inside the pigeon hole cages.


This temple is the Vihara Cipta Dharma Temple (玄天上帝庙 ) i was talking about in my earlier post.

I need to go there before CNY just to see and get a better understanding of the place before i can bring others go during CNY time. The next place i go to on that same day is the Hock An Kiong Temple (福安宫)

The Hock An Kiong Temple (福安宫) is actually quite far out from Nagoya area, near to the Batam University.


Rather simple temple for now as they are still kind-of under construction. They started as a home base temple, remember? And that steep slope up the temple is a real killer,hehehe...and then besides the 2D door and the 24 piety marbled wall...


...there's the dragon statue fountain. Out of its main temple area at the datuk kong shrine.


Big place with nice ambiance too.


I think they are going to have some event during the cny period as well,hehehe...hope i have the time to catch up with that.

Just doing some homework before my actual CNY 2020 trip.
