Bulan Island or Pulau Bulang (Chinese: 布蘭島) is an island located 2.5 km south-west of Batam Island, with a land area of 100 km2.[1] It is located in the Sijori Growth Triangle, Riau Islands Province, Indonesia. It is the largest island adjacent to Batam on its western side and is administratively part of Batam city.
