HJ ZULHEIMY - SEPANJANG JALAN KENANGAN: JOHOR - PONTIAN, TANJUNG PIAI & SEDENAK

Pontian is a district located in southwest part of the state of Johor. It borders Batu Pahat and Kluang District to the north and Kulai and Johor Bahru districts to the east.

It is the home to Tanjung Piai, the southernmost point to the Malay Peninsula and mainland Eurasia as a whole.

In the evening, we will stroll along the beach, which is located not far from our hotel. Gazing at the vast sea that stretches out brings back memories of when I was a sailor. I can't believe that I once sailed this vast ocean. How I miss sailing back across the vast ocean.

I had the opportunity to set foot in Pontian during the Health Screening Program held at SJK (Chinese) Cheow Min in Pontian, Johor on 6 September 2014.

Our journey from Kuala Lumpur to Pontian, Johor, a distance of 314 km, took 3 hours and 43 minutes.

We went straight to our hotel, the Pontian Hotel, located on Jalan Delima, Pontian Trade Center.

The best and affordable hotel in Pontian District, the district where also known as "The Southern-Most Tip of Mainland Asia."

Sited at Pusat Perdagangan Pontian Kechil, a strategic location that offers an exhilarating view of the Straits of Malacca. Within walking distance from Pontian rocky beach, Pontian New Express Bus Station and shopping places. Hotel Pontian is the most preferred choice of hotel for travelers and businessman.

This is how the Pontian Hotel looks like on Google Maps taken in December 2020. It may no longer be in operation.
