Tanjung Piai is the southernmost tip of the Asian mainland, situated within the Tanjung Piai Johor National Park. The site is characterized by a sprawling mangrove ecosystem that serves as a critical buffer zone between land and the Malacca Strait. A reinforced concrete walkway leads visitors through the coastal mangroves to the landmark globe structure marking the geographic coordinates. The area is part of a Ramsar site, recognized for its international importance in wetland conservation. Mangroves here facilitate unique biodiversity, including mudskippers, crab-eating macaques, and various migratory birds. The site offers expansive views of Singapore's skyline and the busy shipping lanes of the Johor Strait.

Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes as the boardwalk can be slippery during high tide or rainfall.
Carry binoculars to spot macaques and exotic birds hidden in the canopy.
Do not attempt to walk off the designated boardwalks, as the mangrove mud is unstable and protected.
Maintain a quiet demeanor to avoid disturbing local wildlife and do not feed the monkeys.
