Bintan has a long history behind it. It was mentioned in the Chinese explorer Admiral Cheng Ho’s travel descriptions as far back as the 11th century. Since that time, Bintan has been on trade routes between Indonesia, China, the Middle East and India. The Bugis seafarers and travelers brought spices from other islands, while the Chinese traders brought tea, porcelain and silk. The Arabs bought carnations, pepper and nutmeg and sent it to Europe. In the 18th century, the Dutch, British and Americans came and traded tin, opium and pepper.

Today, visitors to Bintan can experience the bustling port of the island’s capital Tanjung Pinang, which is a strange old town characterized by rows of pile houses, chained together by a maze of small footpaths.
