Bringing your family to learn about history can be a good way to spend time during a holiday. Have at it by taking a trip to Penyengat Island!

Here, you can find several historical landmarks with a blend of Javanese and Dutch architectural styles. In the northeast, there's an old mosque with a striking yellow color known as Sultan Riau Mosque. Not too far from there, you can also explore an ancient fort known as Fort Bukit Kursi where you can find several cannons in each of its corners. To get here, all you have to do is take a pompong boat from Sri Bintan Pura Port in the west of Tanjung Pinang.
