It was 6.30 p.m. 'till I arrived in Tanjung Pinang. I was so happy. The flight is safe.
If anybody asked about Tanjung Pinang, well, it's a small city in a beautiful island called Bintan Island. It's the capitol of Riau archipelago in Indonesia ( Kepulauan Riau ). It's known as a city of Malay culture because there is a small island near Tanjung Pinang which is have historical things from Malay and Indonesia. That island is Penyengat Island, a very historical island of Malay kingdom. When you need time to find peace,relaxation,entertain , try to go this place. It's not just because it's my birthplace but also this is a very beautiful place. Strategic too.
Experience traveling to Batam, Singapore, Malaysia and other nearest island from Tanjung Pinang with hospitality from the locals. ;)
*reference : ( if you go to this place, lets try...)
- Local cuisine ( Gong Gong, seafood, otak-otak, etc )
- Visit places ( Penyengat island [most recommended] ; Lagoi ; Trikora Beach ; Bintan centra [shopping district] )
