Think you are done exploring Batam? This post might prove you wrong. Here is the list of interesting things to do in Batam:

1. Unleash your inner shopaholic 

Batam City Square

Looking for cheap retail products to buy? Batam City Square is your best bet! This multi-storey mall might look unappealing on the outside, but it has almost everything you need inside - cinema, KTV, spas, eateries and hypermarket. This place definitely reminds me of the Lucky Plaza.

2. Savour cheap and fresh seafood

A wide selection of seafood

If you are a fan of seafood, this is a place that must not be missed. The famous 933 Golden Prawn restaurant serves not only CHEAP but FRESH and HOT seafood.

Tua Pek Kong Temple 

Courtyard of the Tua Pek Kong Temple

One of the most visited cultural sites in Batam is none other than the Tua Pek Kong Temple. Also known locally as Vihara Budhi Bhakti, Tua Pek Kong Temple is the oldest Chinese temple on the island. You would be surprised by the numerous beautiful statues of notable ancient Chinese folklore characters. 

Address: Jl. Imam Bonjol Kompleks, Windsor Central, Nagoya, Batam, Indonesia

A spectacular night view of the Grand Mosque

The Grand Mosque is NOT the typical mosque you see around. Also known as Masjid Raya Batam, the Grand Mosque was built without the iconic decorative domes that can be found in most mosques. It features a three-tiered equilateral pyramid above the prayer hall, minimising the use of pillars and thus maximising the space for worship.
