Indonesia is a Muslim country. Chinese generally practice Buddhism. Perhaps when you immigrate and stay for many generations, you adopt your new home country's religion. Just not its architecture.
The Cheng Hoo Chinese mosque in Surabaya, Indonesia. Muslim in practice, traditional Buddhist temple in style.
Prayer time. Women get the far end of the room.
Prepping for praying, removing shoes and washing up.
Temple, mosque details. Shoe storage and pagoda tiers.
Another Buddhist temple touch, a concrete boat scene and fish pond. A far cry from typical Muslim Moorish architecture style.
