Malaysia is renowned for a lot of great things. People from all over the globe are visiting the nation for its luscious trees, lovely beaches, delicious food and varied cultures. But did you know that our country is also one of the best locations for stargazing? Thanks to its place on the Equator, Malaysia is an optimal place for watching the stars of both the northern and southern skies, such as Bekok, Tanjung Balau. You should experience the stargazing at Johor night.
To those who do not own any unique facilities (i.e. telescope), be sure to bring a blanket or a camping mat as this helps to prevent neck ache while stargazing. Besides that, you can also download astronomy apps like Star Walk or Google Sky to your smartphone because these apps will tell you what stars you can see from your current location.
Without further ado, here are 5 stargazing sites that you should visit at least once in your life:
1. Mersing – stargazing spot
Located in the east coast of Johor, Mersing is not only the only way to other islands, but also a small fishing village with a slow and simple life. Although the area of Mersing is not large, it is a night to enjoy the dazzling stars! The suburbs a few kilometers away from Mersing is a forest reserve, so it can preserve the original appearance of nature and become a popular observation point for stargazing. Staring at the starry night sky, the stars are like diamonds embedded in the sky, which is a gift from heaven, and people are reluctant to remove their eyes.
2. Batu Pahat- Senggarang – stargazing spot
Batu Pahat- Senggarang is far from the city, especially in the coastal areas of Kampung Kelicap and Sungai Lurus, which are gradually welcomed by photography enthusiasts due to zero pollution. It is understood that Batu Pahat- Senggarang is one of Johor’s good places to shoot stars, and is also a sacred place for domestic and Singapore Galaxy enthusiasts. The area is relatively remote and dark, it is recommended to go with your peers to shoot, always pay attention to your own safety. Seggarang is definitely a good spot to come with your beloved one other than spending your time at jb night.
3. Segamat- Bekok – stargazing spot
Bekok is a small town in the north-central part of Johor, an hour and a half drive from Segamat and half an hour from Yong peng. Because of the fact that they are far away from the city, there is no noise or light pollution, so that the exhausted travellers can be found to find peace of mind. The sky here is free of light pollution and it is very suitable for stargazing. The quiet Bekok night sky is dotted with stars, and the picturesque scenery is intoxicating and awesome than JB night sky. If you are lucky enough, you can see the beautiful Milky Way!

4. Kota Tinggi- Tanjung Balau – stargazing spot
Tanjung Balau is about 50 kilometers from the urban area of Kota Tinggi to the city of Tanjung. The biggest feature is the scattered reef, so Tanjung Balau is called the “reef fishing village”. In the morning, you can go to the local fishermen’s museum restaurant and watch the stars on the beach at johor night. Whether you are playing on the beach, watching the sunset or watching the stars, the unique coastal scenery will definitely let you leave your worries and have fun. It is a good night activity other than just stay at home at jb night.
5. Kota Tinggi- Tanjung Sedili – stargazing spot
It is also a small fishing village in Tangjung Sedili in Kota Tinggi County. Perhaps there is a lack of attention from the world, and many people do not know that there is actually a star-gazing place. Compared to Mersing, Tanjung Sedili facing the South China Sea is more open and has a good view, and is only 70 kilometers away from the center of Johor Bahru, attracting many Singaporean stargazing enthusiasts to pilgrimage.
