"According to Wetlands International, Johor holds 28.7% of mangrove forest in Peninsular Malaysia (27,733 ha) or 4.7% of total mangrove forest cover in Malaysia. Tanjung Piai covers 526 hectares of Mangroves and another 400 hectares of inter tidal mudflats. Mudflats are soft and muddy soil. It has high salt content and low oxygen levels (anaerobic). However, they are subject to hot and dry conditions." Info source : Johor National ParkI would like to break to 4 parts on our visit to Tanjung Piai (N1°16.095' E103°30.522'). Every part is different trail from the picture below. This post is the first part...
The four trail into four partOn one of the Sunday morning, me and a fellow blogger Ben were having a photography trip to the Southern Most Tip of Mainland Asia - Tanjung Piai. The journey took about almost 2 hours drive form Johor Bahru to the National Park. We reached there around 12:30pm...
The first wooden bridge after the parking
The entrance fee is MYR5.00 for Malaysian and MYR10.00 for foreign visitor. Car parking fee is MYR3.00 per car.
The Location map of the National ParkAfter the shooting the surrounding, we proceed to the entrance of the park.
Not many visitor around when we were there. So it was quite free to move around...before we start on the trail, you can read the information and what are the activities in park around the main office.
If you are smoker, Please take note! We decided to take the left trail first, that was the trail lead you to the TIP. The trail is 653 meter from this point...Wah! To reach the TIP and walk back will be more than a Kilometer! That was a good exercise for us!
There is a Fishing Jetty nearby the TIP, but we skipped! Because we had to finish total of 4 trail around the national park.Along the way, I felt peaceful and calm...I Love the greenery surround us!
My eyes were busy looking around and my hands was busy pressing the shuttle of my camera! haha!
Mangrove area also capture rubbish naturally, as you can read from my Kukup Island post. Beside the green of the plant both side, you will see many Rubbish being capture by the Mangrove too!
Along the trail, you can have a rest by this small area. There are many of them...Once you reach the junction, on your left is going to the fishing jetty and on your right is the last path to the Southern Most Tip of The Mainland Asia!
The trail is towards the sea
The platform area at the TIP
Ben was busy snapping around
Do you see anything?There is a platform where you can enjoy the scenic view at the tip. It's windy all the time, there are some words that told you have reach the TIP.
The sea traffic is very busy everyday over here, do you notice it at the background?The pillar below maybe standby for the expansion of the platform...
