Residents of Nibung village in Central Bangka regency, Bangka Belitung Islands, refuse to let the existence of former tin mining sites in the area — which leave pools of water everywhere — affect their lives. Instead, they’ve had amazing results from turning the unexploited land into tourist attractions.
