South of Batam is 6 islands that are linked together with bridges. It is a popular place for Batam

surrounding ocean & neighboring islands.
One of the islands has an old Vietnamese Refugee Camp on it with some interesting history, and many
of the buildings & temples have been preserved as a tourist attraction
ATTRACTION TO WATCH OUT FOR
MAHA VIHARA DUTA MAITERAYA
Maha Vihara Duta Maiteraya where located in Sei Panas, Batam is the biggest temple in Southeast
Asia. With a land area of 4.5 hectares, Vihara Duta Maiteraya was built in 1991. As the name implies,
this temple has a very strong religious value which matches with the message of Buddha Maiteraya,
which is message of universal love.
TOA PEK KONG TEMPLE
Toa Pek Kong Temple (also known as Vihara Buddhi Bhakti Temple) is the famous temple in Batam. It
is well used by the locals for their daily prayers and offerings. The temple is open daily and visitors
are welcome. A good way to see it may be as part of an organized tour of Batam. Some tours also
visit Toa Pek Kong Chinese temple in Nagoya.
BATAM SHOPPING CENTER
Here is shopping mall called the Nagoya Hill Shopping Mall or some refer to it as the Nagoya Hill
Super Block. the mall is not located on top of a treacherous hill, so there are no hill or steep slopes to
climb to reach this mall. The mall is located in the center of Nagoya Town. In the mall, you can see a
number of retail stores selling clothing and accessories.
KUE LAPIS - LAYERS CAKE
All time Favourites Kue Lapis is a MUST sought-after souvenir for many tourists during festive
season and a food delight to enjoy when back home with loved ones from Batam.
AGRO TOURISM-DRAGON FRUIT BATAM
Agro tourism becomes an interesting alternative to spend the holidays, especially for those who
are already saturated with tourism in the city. Batam has a dragon fruit agro-tourism in the
Barelang 4th Bridge. There you will see the dragon fruit gardens which extend to the neat. In
addition to directly feel the fresh dragon fruit juice, tourists can also pick directly from the tree.
If you want to pluck straight from the tree must order before Friday, because farmers will harvest
every Friday to stock up on
