[2025 Tanjung Pinang Attraction] Travel Guide for Banyan Tree Temple (Updated Oct)

#bintanguide Definitely nothing spectacular, just a small cute spot in a fishing village. Great for short escape from Tanjung Pinang. Just for taking pics and watching the local life (but be aware that you will be most likely bigger attraction for them, hehe). There is also Sun Te Kong Temple nearby, so you can join these two visits once you are on the other side of Tanjung Pinang. To get there, take a small boat from the jetty opposite to Hotel Laut Jaya. They go all day, you just need to waive someone.

#springitinerary Woven into the fabric of time, the ancient banyan trees of Bintan rise like spectral guardians, their gnarled roots gripping the earth with the wisdom of centuries.

The veins of these towering sentinels pulse with echoes of ancestors, binding the past to the present in an unbroken rhythm. Step into their sacred shade, where shadows dance with history, and spirits linger, awaiting those who seek to uncover the forgotten truths of the land. #bintan #banyantreeshrine
