 From Pekanbaru about 170 km south to Taluk Kuantan, crossing the equator
just after Lipat Kain. Before reaching Taluk Kuantan, the road crosses
Logas region, once a gold mining area. During the Second World War, the
Japanese established here a camp where many Dutch people were imprisoned
and exploited by forcing them to work in the mines.
Taluk
Kuantan lies at the upstream part (Hilir) of Indragiri River. In the
early years, this river was used to carry the gold, which was mined in
West Sumatra, to the east coast of Sumatra.
