Adventure #012 - Found in the city of Tanjung Pinang on Bintan Island of the Riau Islands, the Vihara, otherwise known as Vihara Patung Seribu (Vihara of a Thousand Statues), is indeed a remarkable sight to behold. • There is a giant statue of Buddha that stands guard at the front of the Vihara, a truly epic welcome to anyone visiting the temple whether for prayers or just as a tourist. • Also known as the 500 Lohan Temple, Vihara Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is one of Bintan's best-hidden treasures. Located in Kijang, the premise is just a short drive away from the main bustling scene of Tanjung Pinang. Step into the temple grounds and be transported into surreal settings of towering structures and the highlight-more than 500 life-sized Lohan/Arhat stone statues with intricate physiques and facial expressions, each one unique and different from the next. Look through the sea of faces and try spotting famous Chinese characters such as Journey to the West's Tripitaka or Romance of the Three Kingdoms' Guan Gong. • Don't forget to subscribe for more upcoming Adventures, Events, and Reviews Videos.
