The history of the Burung Mandi beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Dutch people used to know Burung Mandi Beach<\/a> as Borom Mandi or Burum Mandi. Previously, this area was a tin-producing region. In fact, the Dutch brought in Chinese as their workers. The existence of these workers from China can be seen from the presence of Budhayana Dewi Kwan Im Temple which is located not far from this beach<\/a>. Meanwhile, the Dutch heritage building is a dam or dam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burung Mandi Beach<\/a> has calm waves and clear sea water. The long coastline combined with soft white sand makes visitors can walk comfortably along the beach located in the Bird Bath Village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this beach<\/a>, visitors can see Tang Island which is right on the right side of Burung Mandi Beach<\/a>. Uniquely, when the sea water is receding, visitors can walk to an island that was once by the Dutch called Hendrik Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors also can see fishing boats with bright colors that lean around the beach<\/a>. These boats are used by fishermen sailing out to sea at dawn and returning late at night with fish catches from fishermen who live around the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August, precisely before the Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia, the Mandi Mandi Beach<\/a> held a sailboat competition. The boats on this beach<\/a> will be decorated as good as possible by the fishermen to compete in winning the quite prestigious competition in the East Belitung region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
