If you’re on vacation in Medan, don’t forget to look for unique and classic attractions. Well, one of the places you have to visit is Tjong A Fie’s Mansion.
Unlike general cultural tourism, Rumah Tjong A Fie looks different. Because Tjong A Fie House has to offer a fairly large ancient house with Mandarin architecture in every corner of the room.
But Tjong A Fie’s Mansion is more than just a home. Because from ancient times this place has been a symbol of the diversity of the city of Medan. In fact, its status has become a national cultural heritage not only in Medan but also in North Sumatra.
Tjong A Fie’s house was a Chinese merchant who lived between 1860 and 1921. He had many businesses that improved the economy of Medan at the time, including plantations, palm oil factories, sugar mills, banks, and even railroad companies.

Although he is rich, Tjong A Fie is also known for his generous attitude in the city of Medan. He plays a major role in helping to establish many churches, temples and mosques in the capital North Sumatra and even Tapanuli. No wonder his residence in Jalan Jenderal Ahmad Yani is called the symbol of diversity in the city of Medan.
The house was considered very luxurious at the time. It consists of two floors with very thick ancient architectural nuances. The building is over 100 years old, but the manager manages it so that it can stand proudly.
So you can be happy to take fun pictures while enjoying the quiet atmosphere of his house. Stepping into the living room and the various rooms within it makes you feel exotic and mysterious.
Step into the main room and you’ll find a living room with old tables and chairs neatly arranged in decorative vases. You can also see a poster depicting Tjong A Fie. Not far from the table and chairs, you can see a picture of Tjong A Fie with his wife and a decorative cupboard with some Chinese motifs affixed to the ceramic teapot.
It has been open to the public since 2009, and you can freely explore the contents of Tjong A Fie’s Mansion every day. Admission tickets range from IDR 20,000 for students to IDR 35,000 for the general public.
