Five Fascinating Historic Sights in Medan, Indonesia
From the streets and hotels in Medan, Indonesia to its fascinating landmarks and attractions, one will easily notice the diverse influences that contributed to the country's rich culture. Here are 5 historic sites that can give visitors a look back into Indonesia's colorful past.
1. Maimoon Palace
Built in the late 1800s, the royal Maimoon Palace showcases unique interior and exterior designs influenced by Malay, Islam, Indian, and European architectural styles. Most of the building materials have been imported from different countries as ordered by Sultan Makmun Al Rasyid. Palace visitors can view photos of the royal family, antique furniture and weapons, and the sultan’s throne carefully embellished with crystal lights.
2. Great Mosque of Medan
Located across the Maimoon Palace is the Great Mosque of Medan or Masjid Raya Medan. Like the palace, it also shows architectural influences from the Middle East and Europe. Some of the imported building materials used inside the chambers are marble from Italy and stained glass from France. The octagon-shaped mosque has been divided into 4 main wings, each one designed with decorative flowers and plants. Visitors are strongly advised to observe the proper attire before entering the mosque.
3. Sri Mariamman Temple
Built in 1881, Sri Mariamman Temple is the oldest Hindu temple in Medan. It has been the primary meeting point of worshipers during the Thaipusam and Deevapali festivals. These occasions celebrate the triumph of the gods and the people over evil and darkness. Located in Little India, the temple features a golden “gopuram”, an ornate tower that houses the inner sanctuary.
4. Tjong A Fie’s Mansion
Tjong A Fie’s Mansion is the former residence of Tjong A Fie, a Chinese businessman who built a large plantation in Sumatra and employed more than 10,000 workers. Completed in the 1900, the mansion showcases a classic Chinese-European-Art Deco style. Visitors are allowed to take pictures of the beautiful ceiling decorations, carved ornaments, and columns influenced by Eastern and Western architectural styles. This century-old gem has a photo gallery exhibit, lobby lounge, and a museum cafe that serves special Peranakan dishes. Travelers staying at Hotel Aryaduta Medan can reach the mansion easily with a 5-minute cab ride.
5. Vihara Gunung Timur
The Vihara Gunung Timur is a Taoist temple with a view overlooking the Babura River. It has a spacious paved area with an impressively scaled incense burner in the middle. During the Imlek and Cap Go Meh festivals, hundreds of worshipers celebrate at the temple’s large main hall. As the oldest and largest Taoist temple in Medan, it has become one of the city's cultural icons.
These attractions are easily accessible to some hotels in Medan, Indonesia like the Hotel Aryaduta Medan, where a 24-hour concierge can provide tour assistance.
Have a Kid-Friendly Stay at Astoria Plaza Hotel in Ortigas, Pasig City
For family
fun, the best hotel in Pasig to visit remains Astoria Plaza Hotel in OrtigasCenter. Whether there is a big holiday or just a plain weekend, parents take
their children here to unwind and bond with each other. It proves to be an
ideal place, where families can simply be together to spend quality time. Here
are some reasons why:
Kids can
stay for free in the hotel rooms. In Astoria Pasig, the hotel policy
allows 2 children, aged 12 and under, to stay in the hotel room without any
additional charge. This is important, particularly if you are planning to have
everyone stay under one guestroom. As a reminder, before checking-in, make sure
to speak with the kids and tell them that the same house rules apply to your
stay here. Remind them to close the door, not to leave it unlocked, and never
open it to strangers.
The
accommodation is equipped with child-friendly amenities. When
traveling as a family, it is wise to look at the list of amenities of the
hotel. For instance, if you have a baby, it is smart to pick a room with a
refrigerator to store milk, or if you have bigger kids, get one with a TV or
DVD player to keep them amused and occupied indoors. Depending on how big the
family is, you should also check out options for getting additional beds or
connecting rooms for more convenience.
Make the
favorite food of your children in-room. Plan your meals.
What may be an acceptable room service or restaurant food for you may not be
agreeable for the children. If you eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner out, you
may risk blowing your vacation budget just like that. An easy solution is to
book a room with cooking facilities. In Astoria Plaza, all rooms have a refrigerator
and the suites have an electric stove, microwave oven, cookware, and dining and
kitchen area. Take advantage of these features to please your little ones.
Swim in
the kiddie pool for some good fun. Spend a nice morning or evening
playing in the kiddie pool with your children. Maybe you can even teach them
how to swim here. This is a nice touch added by the hotel. While it is easy to
find accommodation with a swimming pool, one with a kiddie pool takes a bit of
effort. But it is definitely one that your kids will appreciate.
