Tjong Yong Hian Gallery

3 Yoon - 3 years ago

Since it's currently renovating I can't rate more than 3 stars. We were allowed to get inside the garden where we could see a pond with water lilies, Chinese graveyards possibly of Tjong Yong Hian and his wife, a Chinese style gazebo. However I was quite disappointed when I realized it's not really historical, the building were pretty new, old style but new building - I guess they're trying to recreate and making it clean but it's losing its value in my opinion.

This is a private Gallery n The resting place of Tjong Yong Hian n wife, the elder brother of Tjong Ah Fie.
It is NOT open to public. However if some family members happen to be visiting they may open the Gallery for public visit. Otherwise it is locked.
We happen to pass by and spoke to the guard there. He was kind enough to allow us into the garden for photography. As the Gallery was locked we couldn't see inside.
Very well maintained garden n lily pond. Spectacular. Was told that his decendents are still living in Medan thats why it is well maintained wherelse almost all of Tjong A Fie's descendants have left the country n the nearest wealthy decendant is in Jakarta. A Fie's last resting place is in the outskirts n it may be the biggest in all of Medan.

If you not really pay attention when you passing through Kejaksaan Street, you can miss this place.
I ever asked what this place is when I was 7 years old and no one can answer it.
Then, 9 months ago, I made my first visit to this place. I can't believe that there is beautiful garden in the heart of Medan city.
The atmosphere and the air is good.
Of course it is the good place to take photos.
Tips: the gallery is still in renovation, but you can ask permission to take some photos at the garden.
