Kijang
Skip Kijang unless you have a pre‑booked mining‑tour or resort package; otherwise a few hours for the waterfront seafood platform.
Kijang is a small mining town on Bintan with limited attractions. It offers a single seafood platform and a noisy lakeside restaurant, but no hotels or public transport. Most visitors stay in Tanjung Pinang and only pass through.
