This coastal fishing village was previously known as Ang Hin due to the large granite and sandstone basins that exist beside it. The Teochew Chinese migrants who settled here after World War 2 began scraping some of the stone out and fashioning it into hand mills and mortars, at first for private use and later for commercia use, with the quality stone goods quickly increasing in demand across the country. These kitchen items are still immensely popular but nowadays most of the items are produced from similar stone imported from other provinces, rather than the Ang Sila original material. There’s still a jetty and small harbor here, where some of the area’s famous seafood is available.
