About this experience
The mysterious sand dunes of Gurun Pasir Busung in Bintan. Originally a mining site, Gurun Pasir Busung was abandoned and now it resembles a majestic landscape of the Arabian desert. Although it is located quite far away from the city and resort area, many Instagrammers are willing to take their time just to visit this place. All because of the golden-washed sand dune that contrast beautifully with the blue sky and white fluffy clouds, making it picture-perfect. It’s to soon to be mesmerized, as this place has more to offer.
Right alongside the golden sand dune is a surreal crystal-clear blue lake. It's hard to imagine that this crystal blue lake was once just a large crater in an abandoned mining site, but as time went by, it began to gradually fill with rainwater resulting in a "post-apocalyptic oasis" in the middle of Gurun Pasir Busung desert. Take a picture with both sights in the background and you’ll be flooded with instagram likes.
