Tanjung Piai National Park

Tanjung Piai National Park is situated on the southern-most tip of mainland Asia. Its name is derived from an indigenous wild fern, 'Piai Raya' or Acrostichum aureum and 'Piai Iasa' or A.speciosum. It is famous as a feeding ground for migratory birds like the Sandpiper, Whimbrel, Common Redshank, Greenshank and Grey Plover. It has also been gazetted as a World RAMSAR site. Besides migratory birds, it is also a haven for mangrove crabs, mudskippers and crab-eating macaques.
