Pretty alright for a visit of 45 minutes, although the drive from the resorts area takes longer than that.
As with almost everything else in Bintan, there is a (often not exactly reasonable) price. This is my first time visiting any place of worship in the world that charges an entrance fee.

Magnificent view of 500 Lohan. Besides that there are also many other statues. I believe Buddhists will like this place and it should be a must visit for them.

Pretty new and fresh spot for 45 min visit which is enough. The area is rather small. Most of the statues are in one area and you can see the faces of the first line statues. Kids 12 and under are free, rest the same price as for adults. Other tourists would like to get photos with you :)

This place looked majestic from the entrance with a huge statue of Bodhisattva overlooking the entrance way. Serene temple grounds with supposedly 500 life-sized Lohan/arhat stone statues with intricate physique and facial expressions, all unique and different. Unfortunately the narration are all in Mandarin so if you can’t read Mandarin, it would be a waste. There is a temple within which you can pray and make offerings. The area isn’t very big and you should be able to finish within an hour. Entrance fee is 30,000 rupiahs. Note that you may wish to negotiate with your Go-Jek driver to wait for you as there are no return cars available for booking. Recommended to visit just before closing at 5pm when it is not too hot.

The place has 500 statues, each with different facial expressions. It's quite unique and interesting. The place is quite far from the resort area, so manage your time accordingly.

500 Lohan is located Batu 13 from Tanjung Pinang. We use Gojek from Tanjung Pinang which cost 87,000 rupiah. The Temple's statues and columns and inscriptions are all stone carvings. The 500 Lohan's stone statues are human size with different facial expression. It is am impressive attraction to add into your Bintan trip itinerary besides the beaches, seafood and shopping.

Would have be even more amazing if there’s clear skies with stars. Impressive statutes of 500 different Luohans and other deities. Definitely worth coming. Also great for sunset shots

The 500 Logan temple is based on Buddha and his biggest follower, the Indian ruler who gave up war, Ashoka. Up on a hill, it showcased great sculptures and idols. There was a big statue of the Hindu god, Vishnu which was wonderful seeing which we were all in awe. There was a full inscribed history of Buddha's story and the problems he faced, what teachings he spread. Reading it was fascinating and informative as I am a big history fan. The statues of the 500 Buddhist spreaders of Ashoka were beautifully made with a lot of detail and spread across the space. There is a Buddhist monastery on the top where a Buddha idol is located. This pace has a very positive aura and the monastery was full of aroma of scentic candles. It was wonderful to see the view from there and if you go to Bintan surely go to this place as it is different from the other places and also spectacular.

I didn’t see anyone selling outside the temple but there was a store into the temple grounds selling food and drinks. It doesn’t appear people have been leaving flowers around.

Hi, may I know how much is the entrance fee and how much is the car service to go there? Also is it fine to wear shorts while roaming around there?

There was no cost here. However, we were not able to go into any building. No need to either. We took a cab from the ferry terminal. We had the driver all day for about $60 USD. So I’m sure just a quick trip there would be cheaper. It was well worth it to have the same driver all day. He was very helpful and took us many places.

Hi Ngu,
Unfortunately I have never use the travel agent for traveling in that place, I explore alone or sometimes with friend. Its a safe place to do it by ourself, just get taxi. Try to make friend wth locals if u are travelling alone especually. :)

I was in Bintan on a free & easy - self organised trip without going thru a travel agent. However, I believe you may simply google to find a reputable travel agent in Bintan. If not, the hotel / resort would be able, if not delighted to recommend you their travel agent contacts. Otherwise, just hire a car (approx. IDR 350,00 per car) for a day trip incl. driver to show you around - Temple hopping & explore Tanjong Pinang ! It's fun :-)
Ps. Sorry for the delay in my reply. Hope you're still there?

Hi, thanks for the message.
I have never took the ferry my self from and to Singapore to Tanjung Pinang, I fly from Jakarta to both places. However I heard that the ferry is quite good. Once arrive on the island you can take taxi from the pier. Make sure you ask the meter taxi, because some of them would give you a price directly.
Please do not hesitate if there still any queries. Have a nice trip in the future!
Is there an entrance fee? How can I commute from Tanjung Pinang to the temple if I would not avail the services of a tour operator? Thanks!
