Mersing is a town in Mersing District in the northeast corner of the state of Johor, Malaysia. Mersing town (estimated population in 2009: 21,670) is a town visited by Malaysians and foreign tourists on the way to the Tioman Islands. Mersing town is particularly significant for a number of reasons: it is one of only two major towns situated in the eastern half of Johor state (the other being Kota Tinggi), it lies on the main trunk road that connects southern as well as eastern Johor with the east coast of Pahang state including Pahang's capital Kuantan (part of Federal Route 3), and it is the main departure point for ferries to the nearby offshore islands such as Pulau Tioman. ==Geographic Location== Mersing is 136 Kilometres north east of the state capital Johor Bahru. Mersing port in the mouth of Mersing River is also the main port for ferries to Pulau Tioman and the more than 40 other islands in the Seribuat Archipelago. It is easily accessible from Singapore, the Johor state capital of Johor Bahru, the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur and the major Pahang capital of Kuantan by car, bus, taxi or coaches. Although Tioman Island is geographically closer to Johor, it is administratively part of the state of Pahang. This makes Mersing town analogous to Kuala Perlis as the port of departure for an island that is located in another state (Kuala Perlis, which is in Perlis, is the port of departure for Langkawi Island, which, though geographically closer to Perlis, is part of the state of Kedah). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mersing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
