SANYA, Hainan - china hawaii
A MUST VISIT temple for the big statue guanyin - You can also pay your respects to the Nanshan Guanyin, a 135-meter-tall bodhisattva, make obeisance and pray for good fortune.
The statue has three aspects: one side faces inland and the other two face the South China Sea, to represent blessing and protection by Guanyin of China and the whole world. One aspect depicts Guanyin cradling a sutra in the left hand and gesturing the Vitaraka Mudra with the right; the second with her palms crossed, holding a string of prayer beads; and the third holding a lotus.

FREE windows 10 upgrade for Windows 7 users and above
Support for Windows 7 ended in January, strongly recommended to upgrade to Windows 10 to keep devices running securely and smoothly. If you have an older PC or laptop still running Windows 7, you can purchase the Windows 10 Home operating system on Microsoft's website for $139. But you don't necessarily have to shell out the cash: A free upgrade offer from Microsoft that technically ended in 2016 still works for many people. Hurry !!! free upgrade will be valid for limited periods !!!
When Windows 10 was first released in July 2015, Microsoft offered an unprecedented free upgrade offer for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 users, good through July 2016. But in 2017, Ed Bott of CNET sister site ZDNet reported that the free upgrade tool was still functional. I tried it out in November 2019, and was able to upgrade a 2014 Dell OptiPlex 9020 desktop from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. As of January 2020, readers are still emailing me and commenting below, saying that it's worked for them as well.
Windows 7 users who don't upgrade to the new version will no longer be able to get Microsoft's security updates or fixes, or technical support for any issues, leaving your computer at greater risk from viruses and malware. While Windows 10 users have experienced a number of bugs over the years, upgrading remains the best option for keeping your computer safe, analysts say.
Here's how to get Windows 10 for free, if you're currently running a licensed and activated copy of Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 Home or Pro:
1. Go to the Download Windows 10 website.
2. Under Create Windows 10 installation media, click Download tool now and Run.
3. Choose Upgrade this PC now, assuming this is the only PC you're upgrading. (If you're upgrading a different machine, choose Create installation media for another PC, and save the installation files.)
4. Follow the prompts.
5. When the upgrade is complete, go to Settings Update & Security > Activation, and you should see a digital license for Windows 10.
Microsoft is encouraging Windows 7 users to upgrade to Windows 10 before support for the former ends in January 2020.
It should be noted that if you have a Windows 7 or 8 Home license, you can only update to Windows 10 Home, while Windows 7 or 8 Pro can only be updated to Windows 10 Pro (the upgrade is not available for Windows Enterprise. Other users may experience blocks as well, depending on your machine). This upgrade using the media creation tool isn't meant for the general consumer, but it works for many nonetheless.

Bintan famous 500 lohan temple
VIHARA KSITIGARBHA BODHISATTVA (500 LOHAN TEMPLE)
Also known as the 500 Lohan Temple, Vihara Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is one of Bintan’s best hidden treasures. Located in Kijang (South Bintan), the premise is just a short drive away from the main bustling scene of Tanjung Pinang. Step into the temple grounds and be transported into surreal settings of towering structures and the highlight—more than 500 life-sized (Lohan/arhat) stone statues with intricate physique and facial expressions, each one unique and different from the next. Look through the sea of faces and try spotting famous Chinese characters such as Journey to the West’s Tripitaka or Romance of the Three Kingdoms’ Guan Gong.
it is cheaper to hire a transport (we hired at the airport) than going in a tour if you have 4 or more persons.
Entrance Fee (Published):
IDR 30,000
Operation Hours:
Tuesday – Sunday

TUA PEK KONG TEMPLE
Also known as Vihara Budhi Bhakti, Tua Pek Kong Temple is the oldest Chinese temple in Batam, having been inaugurated in September 1986. While the influence of Chinese design is made obvious through its many red lanterns, large candles and colorful tributes, the temple itself celebrates a variety of deities. In fact, within the temple grounds you can find tributes to many different Gods and deities from Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian teachings.
Tua Pek Kong is a popular tourist spot, with many tours stopping here throughout the day, however it is also frequented by locals who come regularly to pray and present offerings. For this reason, you’ll be met with the heady scent of incense when you enter the temple grounds, as well as the perfume of burning Joss paper, used to send materials and wealth to relatives who have passed away.
The temples got many big statues for nice pictures. Off to the side, the Temple has a small garden and Koi pond, a beautiful place for tourists and locals to take pictures, relax and reflect away from the bustle of the main area. If you get hungry you can even snack on the delicacies sold by nearby food vendors!
Located in the central area of Nagoya, Tua Pek Kong Temple is an easy destination to reach while travelling in the area. Not to mention it would make a perfect activity for a family-friendly holiday in Batam, as kids would love exploring the myriad colors, scents and statues within the temple walls.
