The reason is that Barelang is a network of six bridges connecting several islands in the Batam archipelago, including Batam, Tonton, Nipah, Setoko, Rempang, Galang and Galang Baru. The name Barelang itself comes from the three main islands along the route: Batam, Rempang and Galang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, which bridge should you go to? For first-time visitors, <strong>Barelang Bridge 1<\/strong> is the most popular stop.
