Sanggar Agung is a prominent Chinese Buddhist temple complex situated along the coast of Surabaya. The site is instantly recognizable by its giant, multi-story statue of Kwan Im (Goddess of Mercy), which rises above the complex and gazes out over the Madura Strait. Visitors can explore ornate prayer halls, pagodas, and gardens adorned with colorful statues and intricate carvings. The temple's seaside location provides a serene atmosphere, especially at sunset, making it a popular spot for both worship and sightseeing.
