Kijang attractions
There is no tourist attractions as such in this deserted mining town. An expensive and more-getting popular resort island is located off the coast eastwards but the trip has to be arranged through a package tour from Singapore in group instead of individual. From Tanjung Pinang, once the visitors arrive in Barek Motor (fisherman landing jetty), they will need to board on a wooden boat that takes them to the island. See www.pangkil.com for more details.
Sea food lovers may want to visit Sungai Nam to enjoy their favorite cuisine on wooden platforms above sea water in a windy atmosphere so relaxed especially in the afternoon. This fishing village is famous for its affordable guests from Singapore as an alternative to the similar sea food eateries spatter around Tanjung Pinang. This place is quiet far from Kijang down town though, so cars are more comfortable than 'ojek' which is not suitable for such a distance.
There are a number of alfresco restaurants, famously knows as "akau". But they are not the kind of outdoor eateries similar to those in Europe or even Singapore. Akau which is only open from late afternoon until midnight, is equipped with a stage for life music or mostly by cd player complete with jumbo size loud speakers and a large screen tv. The most popular is the one at the town lake. Even if you can enjoy local food and drink, the music is so noisy that you are hardly able to hear conversation with friends at the table. At times the tv screen shows a programme of a certain political party holding a mass gathering or rally with its supporters.
