Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Walking
If you are in the center of Manado, head towards Jl. D. I. Panjaitan. You can start from the Manado Town Square. Once you are at the square, exit towards the main road and turn left onto Jl. D. I. Panjaitan. Walk straight for about 15 minutes; you will pass various shops and cafes along the way. Continue walking until you reach the intersection with Jl. Sam Ratulangi, then turn right. Ban Hing Kiong Temple is located on your left side, just a short distance down the road.
Public Transport - Angkot
From your location in Manado, find the nearest angkot (public minivan) stop. Take an angkot heading towards 'Wenang.' Once you board, inform the driver you want to get off at Jl. D. I. Panjaitan. The ride should take approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic. Get off at the stop closest to the intersection with Jl. Sam Ratulangi. From there, walk a short distance down Jl. D. I. Panjaitan, and you will see Ban Hing Kiong Temple on your left.
Bicycle Rental
If you prefer an active approach, consider renting a bicycle. Many rental shops are available around Manado Town Square. Once you have your bike, head towards Jl. D. I. Panjaitan. Follow the same route as for walking: cycle straight for about 15 minutes, passing shops and cafes. After reaching the intersection with Jl. Sam Ratulangi, turn right, and you will find Ban Hing Kiong Temple on your left side shortly thereafter.
