Batam City is the largest city in Riau Province of Indonesia. This city is made out of three islands, Batam, Rempang and Galang connected by the Balerang Bridge. This city is located strategically on the international shipping route passing the Malaca Strait near Singapore and Malaysia. Batam is known well for having various ethnic groups and for its significant development. Many languages are used in this city, mostly Minang, Batak and Javanese language. Indonesian language is still the main language, though.
There are many things you can find in this island, one of them is former refuge camp in Galang Island, Batam. Here you can see pictures, tombs, wrecked ships and other historical things. You can also see the majestic Masjid Raya Batam located at Batam center. This middle-eastern architectured masjid is unique. You won’t see any pillar here, making it look very spacious, and the dome is like no other: it is in a shape of a pyramid.
There’s Maha Duta Maitreya Temple, the biggest temple in Southeast Asia. This temple is located in Sei Panas. Sei Panas is so close to both Singapore and Malaysia, making the temple is usually visited by both country’s citizen to do prayer or just look at this temple’s majesty.
