Things to do around Tanjung Balai Town

Take a walk around town. Don't get stuck in your hotel or else you will miss many things. There are only 2-3 main streets in town. They are narrow, so be careful. Watch out for the holes in the sidewalk. Some places, you have to walk on the main road because the sidewalk is blocked. Watch out for the traffic when you do so.

There are a few nice cafes/restaurants which are airconditioned. Try them out.

This is a schoolbus carrying the local kids. The body is made from wood. Very colourful and cute. Note the driver's window.





This is a chinese temple on Jl Nusantara near towards the market area.






If you head towards the ferry terminal, you will pass the pasar malam. This night market opens around the late afternoon and is open till about 10pm. Great to buy snacks and food.
