Senggarang Floating Chinese Village In Bintan, Indonesia

There is a huge ethnic minority of Chinese living in Bintan Island, which certainly isn’t a wonder, well, because Chinese human beings, as we already recognise, are anywhere in the world =)


Walking at the simplest walkway of the village. During excessive tide you'll see waters on both sides.


So my family is packed inside the car and received’t budge an inch. They do no longer want to exit because it’s drizzling a bit out of doors. Yeah, a chunk. I haven't any idea what goes on in their minds truly. Maybe they're afraid of melting when they get in touch with the rain? Afraid that their hairstyle might be ruined? Or their garments stained with rain water. Egad. I’m not sure anymore, haha!

Living in the Netherlands has taught me to withstand solar and rain publicity which is quite an irony in case you study wherein I got here from. But regrettably, I can now walk underneath the searing heat of the solar with out complaining that I might *gasp* come to be dark. OK, I am being suggest right here. Yes, pun intended.

I suggest, the own family does no longer want to get out of the automobile and spot the floating Chinese village because it's far drizzling a piece!!! [insert HUGE question mark ??? Here]. I tried my fine to haul them out one by one however for a few odd cause their bums have right now excreted a few mystery glue, they may be pretty a good deal caught to their seats. I gave up and went with our well-knowledgeable driver curb excursion guide by myself.

I am an inquisitive soul so I am intrigued why this village is referred to as a floating village. Do the homes certainly glide or are they constructed on stilts? The latter stoop changed into correct. Unfortunately, it became low tide when we visited so rather than waters I saw dust, and sadly, numerous garbage sticking to it.

The Chinese floating village changed into an exciting region, but miserable as nicely due to the trash on sight. Plastic baggage, wrappers, cans, paper cups and what nots muddle at the lowest of the seabed. Not a excellent merchandising of the village in any respect. No way hygienic. I desire the locals smooth up.

The village of Senggarang may be very near to the capital metropolis of Tanjung Pinang. There are boats plying from the village to the capital at some stage in high tide. It takes much less than 1/2 an hour sailing time.


The homes on stilts are connected to the walkway with small cemented and plank bridges. Are you seeing the garbage?


This one has a truly cool layout. Many homes here have airconditioning.


Tanjung Pinang within the distance. It is less than half an hour sailing time from here in the course of excessive tide.


Following the lead of my driving force cut down excursion manual.


I am now not sure what these stilt structures are used for. Perhaps for drying fish?


Pastel colored homes and outside terraces outfitted with balustrades appear to be the famous factor right here.


Rubbish crying out to be burned or disposed someplace else.
