Boen Bio Temple
Klenteng Boen Bio
A rare Confucius temple in Indonesia, completed in 1907. It is an important venue for Indonesian Confucians and retains late Qing-era Hokkien-style architecture.
Boen Bio Temple was built in 1907 and is one of the few Confucian temples in Indonesia. It is managed by the local Chinese Confucian association. The red gate tower and roof decorations show Hokkien style, and the main hall enshrines Confucius. Ceremonies are held on Confucius's birthday, the Dragon Boat Festival, and other festivals. Located on Kapasan Road, not far from the Kya-Kya night market in Chinatown, the temple is free to visit. Please greet the staff before going in.
