Pontian
Pontian is a district in southwest Johor. It is located 62km from Johor Bahru, the state capital of Johor. The name Pontian is also used in the names of two towns in the district, Pontian Besar and Pontian Kechil, of which the latter serves as its district capital. The capital was formerly a fishing village which has developed into a small town. Pontian is noted for its variety of seafood which is sold at a reasonable price. Visitors from neighbouring towns and Singapore regularly visit Kukup, a fishing village about 20km from Pontian Kechil. Notable national parks in Pontian include Tanjung Piai.comment | share |
