Tanjung Piai National Park, Pontian, Johor

This is the place where I get my first experience being chased by monkey and our camp site was "attacked" by monkey too! It all happened in 2005 when I was in Form 1. I went here because of the school trip that was organized by counseling club. The journey to Tanjung Piai National Park in Pontian, located 75 kilometres from Johor Bahru city centre is about an hour and a half away by car and about two hours by bus. Covering an area of over 926 hectares, the national park consists of coastal mangroves and intertidal mudflats. Almost 526 hectares of mangrove land here is while the rest is inter-tidal mudflats. According to Wetland International, Johor holds 28.7%  of mangrove forest in Peninsular Malaysia of 4.7%  of total mangrove forest covers in Malaysia. Gazetted as a Ramsar site in January 2003, the park is managed by the Johor National Park Corporation.* (* source: Johor National Park). 
"Congratulations! You are now standing at the Southern Most Tip of Mainland Asia." Well,as you arrived there, you already at the southern most tip of mainland Asia. I gain a lot of experience here. The view of the sea was so beautiful. I am spellbound by the scenery. On the evening, I got a chance to see the sunset and when the night comes, I could see the fireflies. I am so stunned and excited about the new experience that I had. And not forgetting the monkey that attacked our campsite, they left their poop in the tent. That is the worse thing I could remember. Don't be to friendly with the monkey.
