Tanjung Piai National Park

Johor


Just 90km southwest of Johor Bahru city centre, on the southernmost tip of mainland East Asia, this national park protects shorebirds and mangrove swamps. Tourism is just gaining a foothold so there's little infrastructure beyond a small visitor centre, some boardwalks and a jetty.
