A small mangrove island off Port Klang whose name means Crab Island, home to two Chinese fishing villages founded around 1880, whose people speak Teochew and Hokkien. Because the island floods at high tide, the houses and streets are all built on stilts over mud and water, so you walk along concrete and timber walkways past colourful houses, small temples and fishing-boat moorings; there are no cars, only bicycles and motorbikes. Visitors come for fresh seafood, but the restaurants here are mostly Chinese and not halal-certified, so take note if you eat halal. Many people rent bicycles to ride around the village and its lanes. Reach it by ferry from Port Klang's South Port terminal in about forty minutes; a return ticket costs a few tens of ringgit, and ferries run regularly by day but not after dark, so check the last departure. Port Klang is reached from Kuala Lumpur by KTM Komuter train.

Very little; the island's restaurants are mostly Chinese and not halal, so bring food or eat in Port Klang before the trip.
