The town is famous for its bauxite mining, dating back to the Dutch colonial perioid when the mine was first established and undertaken by the Nederland Indonesia Bauxite Exploitatie Maskapai (NIBEM) which was later taken over by a state-owned mining company, Aneka Tambang (Antam) after Indonesia became independent. Antam remained as the sole operator until the end of Suharto's Orde Baru perioid in late 1990s after which private sectors were allowed to mine in line with the autonomous decentralisation campaign in the Reform Era. Antam abandoned its operation all together in late 2010 but is held responsible for replanting of the open areas left treeless. A monument to remember its presence in Kijang was built by Antam and was inaugurated by the Governor, whilst the private operators stay put.
Travel to Kijang
Driving a hired vehicle at Rp750,000 per day from Tanjung Pinang is far more convenient than travelling by shared taxi. Shared taxis are the public transport in the form of old sedans shared with up to five other passengers and the driver at a very affordable fare Rp 80,000. The two-way road is fairly smooth with just a few motorcycles and cars even in daytime. Raja Haji Fisabilillah Airport (formerly known as Kijang Airport) is located 12 kilometers from Tanjung Pinang where more comfortable metered taxis are available but may charge you up to Rp350,000 per trip.
Get Around

But safety is the main concern with this type of transport as other motorcyclists drive at breakneck speed especially teenage riders.
