Pangkor Island is one of the most famous island holiday destinations in Malaysia for its serene beaches, crystalline blue waters and panoramic sunsets dusk after dusk. Once upon a time, in the 17th century, the Dutch built a fort on the island to better oversee the tin trade industry in Perak. Today, the remains of the Dutch Fort still stands for visiting tourists to stop by.
