Lingga Island

Awesome

This island away from the crowds. Quiet, silent, perfect for seclusion. The beaches are clean with white sand and clear water. I love to visit Museum Linggam Cahaya where can find some historic things from the past.

Kampung halaman saya ya the best lah ya :)

The Lingga Islands Regency or Lingga Archipelago are a group of islands in Indonesia, located south of Singapore, along both sides of the equator, off the eastern coast of Riau Province on Sumatra island. They are south of the populated Riau Archipelago, known for the industrial island of Batam and the tourist-frequented island of Bintan, although the Lingga Islands themselves are rarely visited due to the infrequent local transportation. The equatorgoes through the northern tip of Lingga, the name of the main island in the archipelago. Administratively they form a Regency of the Riau Islands Province with an area of 2,205.95 km² and a population of 86,150 people at the 2010 Census. The capital lies at Daik.nnThe population are mainly Malay, Bugis and Chinese (predominantly Hakka, Teochew and Hokkien).nnLingga derives its name from the profile of Mount Daik which is shaped like the Hindu lingam, often interpreted as a phallic symbol. This mountain has three sharp teeth as peak, one of them seems to have broken off at its base, and it was immortalised by Malay poets as the symbol of durability. The poem isnnPulau Pandan jauh ke tengah,nGunung Daik bercabang tiga,nHancur badan dikandung tanah,nBudi yang baik dikenang juga.nnNearby are the remains of the fort of Benteng Bukit Cening, overlooking the sea. The cannons are still lined up, as if they were awaiting another enemy attack.nnFerry services to the islands from outside the archipelago come from the provincial capital to the north, Tanjung Pinang on Bintan, including from Singapore. These days the main industry is fishing. There are a number of fine beaches with some coral around the Archipelago but there is very little tourism on account of the poor transport links with the outside world.

Wonderful
