Popular for its hot springs, this village is being upgraded with a long-term masterplan that will eventually see it featuring a health spa and an elephant sanctuary. The village is well-known for its legend about its very own David and Goliath battle. An 18-metre-long handcarved, limestone mural depicts the earth-shattering battle between two giants - Mat Cincang and Mat Raya - after which two hills on the island are named. |

200 years ago, this was the site of a granary. Soon after Mahsuri's death, according to local history, a devastating invasion by neighbours Siam (now Thailand), caused the village headman to order the villagers to burn down the granary and poison the wells, rather than let it fall into the invaders' hands. Today, after a heavy downpour, signs of burnt rice grains are still visible. |
