About

Pulau Jong, a karst island in Langkawi's Geopark, is shaped like a ship and retains original Permian-era structures and fossils. Unaffected by marble metamorphism, it features brachiopods, crinoids, and bryozoans, highlighting its geological importance. It's uninhabited, with a local myth of being a petrified ship, punished by Dayang Bunting's guardian for a transgression. Viewable by boat, Pulau Jong's mystique and natural history offer a unique experience within the Dayang Bunting Marble Geoforest Park.
