[Trave] BATAM - Attraction

 

 

• Masjid Tanjak 
• The mosque is located in the area of Bandar Udara Internasional Hang Nadim (Hang Nadim Airport) on the island of Batam, in the province of Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia. 
   
• It was built by the local development body Badan Pengusahaan Kawasan Batam (BP Batam) and officially inaugurated on 24 June 2022 by the Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs. 
•  The building area is roughly around 15,100 m² of land, with building floor area of about 2,094 m² on the ground floor + mezzanine of around 468 m² according to earlier sources. 
•  Architectural height: the building height is about 39.5 m, and the minaret ~45 m. 
• Unique architecture: 
• The mosque is designed in the shape of a “tanjak” — a traditional Malay men’s headgear. 
• Rather than a conventional dome, the structure mimics the tanjak’s upward sweep, embedding Malay cultural identity into the mosque’s architecture. 
•  Antara Riau Tourist-friendly & religious site: 
• It is seen not only as a place of worship but also as a religious-tourism destination for Batam. 
• In fact, locals use it for “ngabuburit” (waiting for iftar) during Ramadhan because of the pleasant ambiance. 
• Scenic location & atmosphere: 
• Positioned near the airport area, it offers a refreshing environment and is noted for its cool breeze and good photo opportunities. 
  
  
   
  
  
• Barelang Bridge
• Full name: Jembatan Barelang (short for Batam–Rempang–Galang — the three main islands it connects)
•  Location: About 20 km southwest of Batam city centre 
• Built by: The Batam Authority (now BP Batam), initiated by B.J. Habibie, the third president of Indonesia 
• Structure: A chain of 6 bridges linking several islands over a distance of ~50 km 
• Nickname: “The Golden Gate of Batam” — because the first bridge resembles San Francisco’s Golden Gate 
• This iconic chain of 6 bridges linking islands in the Batam area is one of the most photographed landmarks. 
•  Go for sunset for dramatic views and good photo-moments. 
•  Tip: Plan for a half-day if you want to drive out and explore beyond just the main bridge.
• Architectural Wonder 
• The first bridge (Tengku Fisabilillah) is the most famous and photogenic, with a stunning cable-stayed design. 
•  Scenic Views – Gorgeous coastal and sea vistas; perfect at sunset or early morning. 
• Cultural & Historical Value 
• – It connects to Galang Island, which once hosted a Vietnamese refugee camp (“Kampung Vietnam”) — a heritage site open for visitors. 
•  Great for Photos – Many travellers stop at the first bridge for panoramic shots, drone photos, or short videos. 
•  Local food nearby 
• Small seafood stalls and cafés line the road before and after the bridge 
•  ideal for a relaxing meal with a sea breeze. 
• Best Time to Visit 
•  Morning (7 AM – 10 AM) — Less traffic, cooler weather, perfect lighting for photography. 
•  Late afternoon (4 PM – 6 PM) — Golden hour and sunset views. 
•  Avoid noon if possible — the area can get hot and bright with little shade.
  
  
  
   
  
  
• Masjid Sultan Mahmud Riayat Shah 
• Location & Basic Details The mosque is located in Kelurahan Tanjung Uncang, Kecamatan Batuaji, Kota Batam, in the province of Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia. 
• The site covers a land area of about 41,422 m² (≈4.14 hectares). 
•  The building footprint is about 57,000 m² (approx) and it is described as the largest mosque in Sumatra. 
•  The major construction period: ground-breaking on 30 April 2017; official inauguration 20 September 2019. 
• Architectural Highlights & Features
•  The mosque blends Arab, Turkish, and Malay architectural motifs. 
•  One of the most striking features: the main dome has a span (bentang) of 63 metres, covering the main prayer hall. 
•  It includes eight large “membrane” umbrellas (payung membran) in the exterior prayer area, reminiscent of those at Masjid Nabawi (Madinah) — each about 25×25 m. 
•  There is a principal viewing tower (“menara utama”) 99 metres tall — visitors can go up (via lift) to a panoramic viewing floor at around 64.5 m to see Batam and on clear days even Singapore.
•  Built to accommodate large crowds: capacity stated around 25,000 jamaah in the primary building. 
  
  
   
  
  
• Puncak Beliung 
• Puncak Beliung is located in the area of Tanjung Riau, Kecamatan Sekupang, Kota Batam, in the province of Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia. 
•  The site covers approximately 10 hectares of area. 
•  It is a relatively new attraction (opened in around 2020) used for adventure/outdoor recreation. 
  
   
• Why It’s Worth Visiting 
•  Spectacular views: 
• From the hilltop you can see forested areas, and on clear days even views out toward water/seascape. 
•  Fun & Instagrammable: 
• There are photo-spots like a “rainbow slide”, giant swing, “karpet terbang” (flying carpet), scenic staircases, and more.  
• Family-friendly: 
• Suitable for family visits—play areas, open air, nature atmosphere. 
•  Evening option:
•  Opens till evening/night (some reports say up to ~11 pm) with lights and ambiance. 
  
  
• What to Expect & Practicalities 
• Opening hours: 
• Generally from about 08:00 to 19:00 or later; some sources say until 23:00.
•  Entrance fee: At the time of recent reporting: for example, the entrance ticket is around Rp 10,000 for adults. 
• Additional fees apply for special rides (rainbow slide, etc).  
• Activities / rides:
•  Giant Swing: high-adrenaline swing over the hill. 
• Rainbow Slide: slide with bright colours, viral on social media. 
•  Other photo spots: scenic stairway, “sky” view, etc. 
•  Sudut Batam Facilities: 
• Family-oriented facilities: parking, snack/food outlets, rest spots, perhaps tents or gazebos. 
•  Weather & terrain: 
• Being a hilltop destination, expect a climb (stairs, slope) and possibly stronger breeze. 
• In December, weather is warm & humid; mornings or late afternoon may be more comfortable than midday. 
• Tips for Your Visit & optimisation for December 
•  Go early morning or late afternoon: To avoid the strongest sun and get good light for photos. 
•  Bring water & sun-protection: Hilltop = more exposure. 
•  Wear comfortable shoes: There is walking and likely uneven path / stairs. 
•  For photo lovers: Choose spots near sunset for dramatic light. 
• The “rainbow slide” and giant swing are best captured at golden hour. 
•  Combine with other nearby activities: 
• Since you’re in Batam for the first time, you could do Puncak Beliung in the afternoon/early evening, then a dinner in a scenic restaurant nearby. 
•  Check transport & distance: 
• Depending on where your hotel is, allocate sufficient travel time to Sekupang area. Evening visits might need to consider lighting & safety. 
•  Budget wise: Entry fee is modest, but add budget for rides/activities you may want. 
•  Weather check: December can bring showers—if rain, the hilltop view may be misty; that can add atmosphere but may limit visibility. 
•  Family travel: 
• If travelling with children, check which rides have height/age restrictions, and supervise at higher-adrenaline spots.
  
   
  
  
• D'Sand Santorini
•  Address: Jl. Bengkong Laut Golden City No. 1A, Tanjung Buntung, Kec. Bengkong, Kota Batam, Kepulauan Riau.

•  Why You Should Visit 
•  Visual appeal: 
• If you’re looking for somewhere with unique aesthetics, De’Sands delivers.

•  Photo-spots: 
• Curved staircases, blue-dome motifs, narrow stone paths, LED arches — all designed for memorable photos.

•  Transport & access: 
• Make sure your hotel or base is in Batam city, then ride-share or taxi to Bengkong area (Golden City).  
•  Photo-gear: 
• Bring your camera/phone, maybe a wide-angle or good lighting for interior. 
• Some food/drink plates are also photo-worthy. 
•  Dress/ambience: 
• Casual smart is fine. It’s a café/restaurant, not formal. But since you’ll likely take photos, choose something you’re comfortable being photographed in.

•  Type of store: A dedicated “oleh-oleh” (souvenir / takeaway) shop — good for picking up food gifts, local snacks, little mementos. 
•  Operating hours: Generally 09:00–21:00 daily according to listing. 
• What to Buy There 
•  Here are typical items you might find at Batamia Oleh-Oleh: 
•  Local snack foods (dry snacks, traditional sweets) — good for taking home. 
•  Small souvenir items: keychains, magnets, t-shirts with Batam motifs.
•  Possibly halal snacks (since many tour notes highlight buying “kek lapis halal” and similar items in Batam).
•  Something for budget / gift-friendly shopping.

• Masjid Cheng Ho 
• Location & Basic Facts 
•  The mosque is located in the area of Golden City, Bengkong Laut, Kota Batam, in the province of Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia. 
•  It was officially inaugurated on 21 February 2015. 
•  The land area is about 80 × 80 m with the building itself around 20 × 30 m. 
• Capacity approx 180-200 people.
• Why It’s Worth Visiting 
•  Unique architectural style: at first glance it resembles a Chinese temple — due to the Chinese-style ornaments, colours, roof design — yet it functions as a mosque. 
•  It is a symbol of cultural fusion: Chinese heritage + Islam + Indonesian local context. 
•  A nice spot for photography and reflection: 
• If you’re exploring Batam and seeking places off the typical beach/mall track, this offers something different. 
•  Relatively accessible from central Batam: 
• According to tourism info, from Batam Centre ferry terminal it’s ~15 minutes drive.
•  Practical Visiting Info
•  When to go: 
• A quieter time would be off-peak prayer times (e.g., after Friday prayer) if you’re there as a visitor. 
• Early evening or late afternoon may offer good light for photos.
•  Dress & etiquette: 
• As with visiting any mosque, modest clothing is required. 
• Remove shoes when entering prayer hall; 
• women should bring headscarf if not already.

•  Transport: 
• Arrange ride-share (Grab/GoCar) or taxi from your hotel/centre. 
• Public transport may not directly serve the site easily. 
•  Combine visit:
•  You could include this after shopping or sightseeing in Bengkong/Golden City area. 
•  Things to Note 
•  The mosque is quite compact in size compared to large city mosques; don’t expect huge domes or huge halls. 
•  Because it is visited for both religious and tourism purposes, weekends may have more visitors. If you prefer quieter, aim for weekday visit.
•  Since the building mimics a temple‐look, some visitors might mistake it for non-mosque; signage may help but double-check for prayer times. 
• Pasar Pagi (Batu Ampar) – Traditional Morning Market 
• For a more authentic local market experience — early morning produce, snacks, local crafts. 
•  Ideal if you like walking around local scenes rather than fully commercial malls. 
•  Tip: Bring cash, small bills, and go early (morning). Good for photo-moments too.

Where to Buy: 

•  Nagoya Hill Mall (mentioned above) — major shopping hub. 
•  Batam City Square (BCS Mall) — good for fashion, electronics. E
•  Mega Mall Batam Centre — convenient if your ferry or hotel is near Batam Centre. 
•  Traditional markets like Pasar Pagi (for local crafts & snacks) as above.

What to Buy: 

•  Local snacks & cakes — for example the layered cake (“kue lapis”) is often mentioned. 
•  Leather goods (bags, belts) and accessories. 
•  Duty-free electronics, cosmetics, beauty products — Batam being a somewhat duty-free zone gives some advantage.
• Handicrafts / batik / wood carvings — better quality if you go a bit deeper than the basic souvenir stalls.

Shopping Tips: 

•  Bargaining at traditional markets is acceptable; in malls the prices are more fixed. 
•  Check authenticity for electronics & branded items — make sure shops are reputable. 
•  Consider your luggage & return journey: if you buy heavy or fragile items, ensure packaging & transport are sorted. 
•  For snacks & edible souvenirs: check export restrictions (especially if returning to Malaysia). 
•  December is likely busy (holiday season) — allow extra time for shopping, hotels, etc.
