4.0King Siallagan's Stone Chair(141 reviews) - A Place to Understand and Appreciate Batak Culture Monday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Ancient Ruins
We made our way here as one of the first visits on Samosir island. We came here mainly mto visit the Batak Museum. This place also houses one of the Batak tribe's king's tomb. Its a good location to view and understand Batak architecture and culture. There are Batak houses to visit to understand how the structures are build and there are old stone carvings. See more..
It is a temple that shows us the design trend complex and environment from its time. We realised that one building was for educational purpose. Now Candi Muaro Jambi is also used to enjoy bicycling especially on holiday or special events. Beside all, various plants and flowers are there.See more..
4.0Muara Takus(45 reviews) - Sumatra's Hindu-Buddhist Past Historic Sites • Ancient Ruins
Situated 120 kms from the provincial capital of Pekanbaru, the ancient Buddhist temple complex of Muara Takus is the best historical site in the region. Featuring the only ancient Mahayana Buddhist stupa in Indonesia, as well as a terraced temple and some sparkly sandstone ornamentation, this site is a rare reminder of Sumatra's Hindu-Buddhist past. On the down side, it is off the main road in a remote area, so you will have to rent a taxi from Pekanbaru to get out here, which will set you back at least a couple of hundred thousand rupiah. But it is worth it to view one of South-East Asia's lesser known historical sites.See more..
We have visited the Elephant stone on our way from white water rafting. It was a nice place to see the megalithes. We were also amazed at the location where the site is. It is int he middle of rice fields so its green all around the place with stunning views.See more..

4.5Gedong Temple(3 reviews) - Connected to the Muaro temple complex. Ancient Ruins
This is about a kilometer and a half away from the main site. Not too far to walk, although I'd bring water. Jungle foliage keeps the walk decent. This is another recreation temple along with the rest of Muaro. There are pieces of the original structure but you have to search for them. See more..
