Why visit Rangsang?
Rangsang is an island of about 989 km² in the Meranti Islands Regency of Riau province, in the Strait of Malacca off Sumatra's east coast. It lies just north of Tebing Tinggi Island and is administratively split into three districts — Rangsang, Rangsang Pesisir (Coastal Rangsang), and Rangsang Barat (West Rangsang) — with a population of roughly 60,000. It is a low-lying, largely peatland island known for traditional fishing villages and quiet coastal life rather than developed tourist infrastructure.
