The Beautiful Bintan Island

In this occasion, I would like to tell about Bintan Island. Some of you may know or have heard about this island before, but some may be not. It is because this island is not as popular as other island such as Bali, but Bintan Island is as beautiful as it. 

Let us talk about where Bintan Island first. According to wikipedia, Bintan Island or Negeri Segantang Lada is an island in the Riau archipelago of Indonesia. This island is part of the Riau Islands province, the capital of which, Tanjung Pinang, lies in the Island’s south and is the island’s main community. (source: wikipedia)

Bintan Island, just like other islands, has many places that you can visit. It has many beautiful places and views that you can not get enough of by visitting it once.

Honestly, I have never been to Bintan Island so I am writing this based on my friend’s story and opinion who has been there before. Also, I will show us few pictures of my friend visitting Bintan Island with her family. 

he first place she visited was Bukit Pasir. It was formerlya bauxite mine, then the mining stopped and end up being one of the tourism place in Bitan Island.

According to her, the view in Bukit Pasir is so beautiful even though the weather at that time was hot. We can walking around and even take a picture in every spot there. When we take a look at the picture, it slightly like she was in a dessert in Africa. By looking at the picture it makes us want to visit the place too right?

The second place was Danau Biru. This place is actually not a tourism place, but an active sand mining area. The basin from the mine is filled with water so it becomes a lake. (source: IDN TIMES)

According to her, the lake is so blue and clear  To get to this lake she had to go down a very steep staircase. It is so beautiful that she wants to stay there and took a lot of picture of it. The lake and its surrounding is also clean that shows us how the people can keep the cleaness of the lake. 

The last place she visited was Lagoi Bay Beach. This was the last place she visited with her family.

She thinks that the beach is so beatiful with the white sands and there is also a green field where we can easily find the right spot to take a picture. They also provide an ATV for tourist to strolling around the beach. 

To conclude, The aim of this writing is that to show everyone that Indonesia has a lot of beautiful places that you can visit when you have free times. We still have more islands that we have not discovered yet but is as beautiful as the other. Our island is as beautiful as other popular island in this world.
