Bintan Island, Indonesia Shopping In Tanjung Pinang

When I turned into in Bintan Island (Indonesia) with the dad and mom and sister we rented a vehicle so that we will see more of the island than just being stuck within the motel. In Bintan, tourists are not allowed to force a condominium vehicle on their very own, so whilst you hire, this includes the motive force. Perhaps that is specific if you e-book outdoor the motel.

Where to store in Tanjung Pinang? Answer: Ramayana Shopping Mall.

We booked an 8-hour vehicle rental and our knowledgeable driving force made an itinerary for us. We commenced with the aid of journeying the rubber and pineapple plantations. He acted as our tour guide explaining to us the rubber farming inside the island, its records and how the locals adapt their livelihood around it.

After this, we drove to the Avalokitesvara Graha Temple, additionally known as Guan Yin Temple wherein we noticed the biggest buddha within the usa constructed by a Chinese businessman. In the front of the temple grounds is a tremendous dragon fruit plantation. They are meant to give suitable good fortune.

Our subsequent vacation spot changed into the exciting Chinese Floating Village in Senggarang and the inexplicable Banyan Tree Temple. The family did not want to get out of the auto because it became drizzling a bit. They had been also pretty picky as they did no longer like the environment. So I ended up seeing the village and the temple all by myself, properly, together with our tour manual driver of direction. I am the die-tough visitor in the family!

We then proceeded to the capital, Tanjung Pinang. I advised the motive force that we would like to peer a conventional market but he frowned on the idea and insisted that it's miles fine we visit the Ramayana shopping center. I dislike modern buying malls however after seeing a glimpse of no longer so well advanced Tanjung Pinang and the site visitors chaos at the streets, I concept the motive force need to be telling the fact, so we accompanied his recommendation and told him he can carry us to Ramayana.

We likely spent an excellent 2+ hours purchasing. I do now not thoughts buying if the human beings I am with wants to do that. After all what else are you able to do in Tanjung Pinang besides?

So the mother, sisterJ and Myrhh unleashed their purchasing wantonness and their credit score playing cards. My father however just accompanied us round and became the watchdog of our bags. Aww, bad dad! He did now not mind though so all's nicely that ends nicely.

Ramayana is an less expensive slash cheap department save and in case you appearance cautiously you will be able to discover properly stuff at first-rate low awesome expenses. The store strikes a chord in my memory of the Gaisano chain of stores in Cebu, Philippines. The Ramayana is also the exceptional purchasing place outside Bintan Resorts. I do now not think you could get any higher than this on the island. Well, I observed a few hidden gemstones myself so that is a properly element =)

I got distracted with the shopping hobby and forgot to take pics inside the department store. So helaas, no photos!

After the shopping, and as deliberate, our driver brought us to a traditional Indonesian kelong restaurant close to the inn for our dinner which I will post subsequent!
