- Bintan Resorts
- Guide
Bintan Island is well known for its beautiful beaches, luxury resorts, and relaxing tropical vibe. Many travelers come to enjoy the sea, sunshine, and comfort. But beyond the beach, Bintan also offers cultural places that tell the story of the island and its people. One of the most special places to visit is Lohan Temple, also called Patung Seribu Temple.
Located in a quiet green area, this temple is a peaceful escape from busy resort life and a great way to experience a different side of Bintan Island.
A Temple with Hundreds of Statues
Lohan Temple is officially known as Vihara Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. It is famous for its more than 500 stone statues of Lohan, or Arhats, who are known as wise followers of Buddha. Each statue looks different, with its own face, pose, and expression. Some look calm, some serious, and some friendly.
Walking through the temple feels like walking through an open garden filled with stories and meaning. The quiet atmosphere makes visitors feel relaxed and welcome, even for those who are visiting a Buddhist temple for the first time.
Although the temple feels peaceful and far from crowds, it is still easy to reach. Lohan Temple is about 60 minutes’ drive from the Bintan Resorts area. Along the way, travelers can enjoy views of local villages, countryside roads, and daily island life, making the journey part of the experience.
A Great Place for Photos and Culture
Patung Seribu Temple is not only important for its spiritual meaning, but also for its beautiful setting. The long rows of stone statues, surrounded by green hills and trees, create a unique and memorable scene. Many visitors enjoy taking photos here, as well as walking slowly and enjoying the calm surroundings.
Visiting Lohan Temple also helps travelers understand the cultural mix of Indonesia, where different traditions and beliefs live side by side. It is a simple and meaningful way to learn more about local culture while traveling.
The best time to visit Lohan Temple is in the morning or late afternoon. The weather is cooler, and the soft sunlight makes the statues look even more impressive. Most visitors spend about one hour here, which fits well into a half-day tour.
