About Tioman
:: Genting Village ::

The Genting Village , further south of Tekek, is enveloped by a serene and rustic atmosphere. The tranquil beach boasts stretches of golden sand ideal for long strolls by the shore. Genting is a village with numerous resorts, mosque, clinic, restaurants, a diving centre, a mini market and some small souvenir shops. There's the ubiquitous karaoke and disco weekends as well. This village is the favourite destination of Chinese tourists, mainly Singaporeans on holiday. If you're feeling particularly energetic, you can take a 30-minute walk all the way up north to explore Paya Village.

Genting is also where's you'll find the Mausoleum of the Pahang State Bendahara, who died in 1803. The Bendahara (Prime Minister) and his wife were on their way back to Pahang when a storm broke out near Tioman Island. Their ship sank and all on board perished. The bodies of the Bendahara and his wife were then taken to Tioman Island. A site in between Paya village and Genting was chosen as the burial ground. The bodies were then cleaned and bathed using water from a nearby river, which was later named Sungai Air Raja (Royal River).
