Penyengat Island is a small island in the City of Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands, which is approximately 2 km away from the city center. The island offers a variety of cultural destinations, especially the wonder of Riau – Lingga royal palace complex. The royal complex consists of the Grand Palace, Sultan Penyengat Grand Mosque, and various tombs of the kings of Riau-Lingga. Many castles, ports and freshwater wells are also well preserved on this island. Known as the birthplace of the Indonesian Malay language, this cultural site is popular as a literature tourism site. Raja Haji Ahmad from the Sultanate of Riau-Lingga (1808–1873) was the first person who composed the Indonesian Malay Language Guidebook. His works include the famous poem Gurindam Dua Belas, which set the ground basis for the development of Indonesian literature.
