Reviewed By HenryHeinz - Medan, Indonesia
Very convenient, hassle-free way to get from central Medan to KNO. Note that there is a new train schedule (as of maybe Nov 2019). With the recently opened elevated train line through downtown Medan, it now takes approx. 30 minutes to get to/from downtown and KNO. There are no stops for traffic, etc now. Booking tickets at the station is easy, but note that this must be done with a card (or other means) - they don't accept cash payments for tickets.

7. Tjong A Fie's Mansion
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By sc-tadoc - Brisbane, Australia
A grand mansion that all tourists should come and visit to understand one man's excellent efforts to contribute to the growth of the city of Medan through local and Chinese migrant labour. Tjong A Fie was an associate of Cheong Fatt Tze (Blue Mansion in Penang, Malaysia), and both mansions certainly have their similarities. When we arrived, an English speaking guide took us around. He was from the local university and this was his gig to practise speaking English. He refused to accept money, but we pressed it into his hand and he was more than appreciative. The 'tour' was an hour but we spent another hour going through the mansion ourselves.
