Vihara Dharma Bhakti Temple is also called Kim Tek Ie Temple and Jin De Yuan Temple. It is the oldest Taoist temple in Jakarta. Taoism is a kind of Buddhism in China, and, of course, this temple is located in the heart of the Chinese district of Glodok. It was built in 1960, but in March 2015 it was almost completely destroyed by fire. Restoration work is still ongoing, but it is already possible to visit it.
As in most Buddhist temples, anyone can visit it. Tourists can walk freely throughout its territory, enter any premises. Chicks are sold in the yard and at the entrance, which can be bought and released according to the old Chinese tradition.
