Pulau Sembilan (GPS: 4.02934, 100.54859; Chinese: 九屿岛, Pinyin: Jiǔ Yǔ Dǎo) is a small island off the coast of Manjung District in Perak. The island is being promoted by the Perak Nature Parks Corporation as a tourist destination. As such, a number of travel agencies along the Perak coast, from Lumut to Bagan Datoh, have started offering packages to Pulau Sembilan. There is basic tourist facilities on the island, such as sheds and tables for day trippers. Those who wish to overnight on the island can rent the camping tents.

In addition to picnic trips to the island, some operators now offer scuba diving in the vicinity of Pulau Sembilan. Dive sites around the island include White Rock and Black Rock, so called for the colour of the boulders in the vicinity.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
