Redang island (by Low Suk Nie)

Redang Island, locally known as Pulau Redang, is one of the largest islands of Malaysia where located in the northeastern coast of Terengganu. Pulau Redang is recognized as one of the most beautiful islands in Malaysia. Redang Island provides people a peaceful place to rest and to holiday. The busy city people can take a vacation at Redang Island.

Redang Island together with other 8 neighboring islands (Lima Island, Paku Besar Island,Paku Kecil Island, Kerengga Besar Island,Kerengga Kecil Island, Ekor Tebu Island,Ling Island, Pinang Island) are known as the Asia paradise in the South China Sea regions.     

Pulau Redang is the biggest of all the islands in the Marine Park,measuring about 7km long ang 6 km wide. Its highest peak is Bukit Besar at 359 metres above sea level.

The other nearby islands of Pulau Perhentian Besar,Pulau Perhentian Kecil, Pulau Lang Tengah, Pulau Kapas and Pulau Susu Dara, all the islands above are also gazetted and protected as Marine Parks.

Today, only the bigger islands like Redang, Lang Tengah, Perhentian and Kapas have resort facilities for visitors. The management of Marine Parks primarily involves protection of the sensitive marine and terrestrial ecosystems by controlling the impact from human activities. These include waste and pollution management and conservation of coral reefs and terrestrial habitats.

Both of us purposely chose this signage to take picture as Summer Holiday movie was taken at there. Well, hope both of us can sustain our love together just like the story line showed in Summer Holiday movie.

That’s all from me. I enjoy the trip so much; I also recomend people to visit Pulau Redang. It is a beautiful place. Pulau Redang is a good vacation place for relaxation.  Well, Pulau Redang is a good place for couple to visit. The sea view is beautiful. The atmosphere is suitable to couple to enjoy their sweet time. Hopefully, the beauty of Pulau Redang can preserve and crystal clear water can sustain.
