The site itself is a typical mangrove granite rock where at least 6 species of mangrove trees can be found. During the nineteenth century, this area was known as a trading port connecting the river to the Natuna Sea in the north. This area offers deep breathing mangrove atmosphere. ​Visitors can walk along 650 meter-long track along the river edge while enjoying the mangrove forest.
