Below is further information regarding several objects suspected of being cultural heritage which are quoted from the cultural heritage data collection document from the Belitung Regency Education and Culture Office.

1. Gedung Nasional (The National Buliding)

Gedung Nasional or The National Building which was built in 1953, is one of the three government buildings built during the early formation of Belitung Regency.

This building occupies an area that used to be a field called Padang Miring, due to the sloping contours of the land and directly adjacent to the sea.

On the edge of this sea, the Sawang tribe's boats used to dock to buy supplies or take a shelter during the west season.

Since the beginning, this area has been a public area (field/square), with the Dutch Government offices at Resident Assistant level located on the north side of Padang Miring.

On the easternmost side of this square, there used to be a tonil stage, as entertainment for the people at that time.

This simple stage later became the forerunner of the current Gedung Nasional and its function as a public space continues to this day.

2. Kelenteng Hok Tek Che (The Hok Tek Che Temple)

This building is relatively well preserved and is still used for Confucian worship.
