The next visit will be to Museum Tanjung Pandan; this museum was a Geological Museum that was built in 1962, and the building is an old house. During the Dutch occupation, it was used as the office of the NV. Billiton Maatschappij.
At the beginning, the museum was collecting geological artifacts such as mineral stones, but later people collected other historical things such as weapons, Chinese ceramics, and other tools which were used daily by the locals, and later they also collected local ancient fauna.
After the museum, we will make a photo stop at the Kaolin Lake. This is not a natural lake or an artificial lake, but this lake was used for kaolin mining. After being abundant, the land had been dredged and filled with earth water became a beautiful lake. The blue color of the lake water is very bright, combined with the blue sky. Unlike the white crater that has a sulfur smell, Kaolin Lake has no smell of sulfur.
Our final stop will be going to the souvenir and outlet shop selling local food such as fish crackers, the famous balacan chili sauce, bitter honey, and also souvenirs of Belitung Island.
