Most reviewed Historic Walking Areas in Riau Islands Province
4.0Vietnam Village(39 reviews) - Historically significant...but needs a Cash Injection NOW Spent 2-3 hours Historic Walking Areas
280k Vietnamese passed through this site between 1979 and 1996...and the world seems to know ZIPPO about it. This needs money spent on it BIG TIME, as it is predominantly in decay...although some churches are being renovated. This is, after the Bridge, the supposed No 2 Tourist attraction in the Batam Island Group...and if restored, could be so, so much better. An absolute eye opener, and so glad we visited...but, it has so much potential to shine...not only for Batam, but out of respect to the Vietnamese who were uprooted from their homelands here. There were barracks, homes, churches, schools, administration blocks, hospitals...with the jungle wining the battle in most areas Well worth the drive....but, please...throw some good money at it Indonesia...it deserves it!!See more..
