It is situated in a remote area at the northern side   of Lake Batur an on the eastern part of Penulisan Hill, some 40 kms from Bangli   Town, precisely in Pinggan Village, Kinatamani District. The place is easy to   reach with vehicles. Reaching the parking area, then, a guest should go on   foot for some 500 meters to reach the temple.

The word "Balingkang" translates " King of Bali". The   temple once served as the palace for the King of Bali. Based on folklore, in   the 11th century, there was a king named Sri Kesari Waradewa who   had a Chinese wife, a pricess of Chung Dynasty, Tang Ci Keng. The marriage   between the two was told in Barong Landung Dance that still can be seen in   Bali to date. Even the palace it self has been influenced by Chinese design   and architectural styles, among others, the building of Gedong Mas and   Pelinggih Ida Ratu Ayu. Chinese influence has also left Balinese old coins to   have in one of the sides, Balinese characteristics, as God related symbols,   which remain in use to date.
