500 LOHAN TEMPLE

Vihara Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva or 500 Lohan Temple, is one of the hidden wonders of Bintan. Located in the south of the island in the middle of rice fields, this temple is surreal. Once you enter the temple, you are surrounded by 500 human-sized statues, all unique in their physical characteristics and expressions. The name of each of them is inscribed on its base. Generally speaking, few Buddhist temples are dedicated to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, so this one is worth a visit...
