Reset & Restore - Banyan Tree Bintan (Day 2)

This is Day 2 at Banyan Tree Bintan. On this day, we set out for an historical tour to Pulau Penyengat. It lies just off Bintan Island, close to the downtown of Tanjung Pinang. The island carries a historical significance dating back to the 18th century, when it was established as a fort as part of the Sultanate of Johor-Riau by the Bugis people. Also, in retaliating the attacks by the Dutch. The island is where you will learn the Sultanate’s golden era, the Malay rulers who once rule the island and its lasting influence on both Malay culture and Islamic hub. Thereafter, we explored the Mangrove Trail. Nature at its best. Very calm and serene.
