Ban Hin Kiong Klenteng

[Chinatown] Originally the most lively place for Chinese people to gather and live. With people moving away from the more lively city, there is only an old Chinese man living here and opening a small grocery store. Now the Chinese Street is only a few hundred meters long. Here we can see the legacy of the Qing Dynasty [Guan Gong Temple]. The local area is just one road away. The three so-called scenic spots can be visited in five minutes.

The location is in the city center, so it is easy to reach by public transportation (angkot). As the oldest temple in Manado (also said to be in Eastern Indonesia), we as visitors must follow the local temple procedures.

Generally speaking, in a general prosperous place, just click on a mat.

Put together the gods and figures of different times in China, implying the blessings of the gods. For example, Erlang God, Guan Yu, Nezha, He Xiangu, Queen Mother and Madame... We all laughed and said nothing. Out of respect, we still walked around silently and bowed. We had better take off our shoes when entering. There are free fragrances for good faith, and also a set for shopping, as fragrant oil money. If you are interested, you can try.

This is the most important temple in the local Chinese society. It is full of red lanterns. The incense is very vigorous, and people will come in when they walk here in the morning and evening. It feels quite religious.
