Vihara Gunung Timur, Taoist temple in Medan, Indonesia
Located at Jalan Hang Tuah alongside the Babura River, Vihara Gunung Timur features two guardian lions and multiple altars adorned with incense and candles.
The temple construction began in 1960 on elevated land near the Babura River and reached completion in 1962 through joint efforts of Taoist and Buddhist communities.
The temple contains 80 deity statues, including figures from Taoism and Buddhism, with Maitreya Buddha, Kwan Im, Tua Pek Kong, and Thay Suei representations.
Visitors can access the temple at Jalan Hang Tuah Number 16 in Madras Hulu, Medan Polonia district, approximately 500 meters from Sri Mariamman Temple.
Two green dragons and dragon-headed fish decorate the temple roof, while traditional red and yellow colors dominate the architectural design overlooking Babura River.
