One of the most populer temple in Medan is Gunung Timur temple which located in Hang Tuah Street,precisely in the riverside babura. Because the location is close to the water, some people regard this temple has very good fengshui. Gunung Timur temple is the largest temple in Medan city.On the beginning,the temple which was established at 1960 is only a tenement extent do no more than 50 square meters but because there are so many donation which can't be mention one by one, finally the small temple change into a wide temple which we can see now

But that all doesn't make this temple only for people belonging to Buddhist but this temple is belong to all. Temple with the color red has a lot of charm. The most prominent is the Chinese ornament such as the statue of fish with dragon head and dragon statue with a combined of four God statue. In the yard, we can see two tails lion statue which very beautiful. That's why this temple frequently visited by the tourist.
