Overview
Yong Peng is a quiet transit town in Johor's Batu Pahat District, best known for housing the Fortune Dragon—the world's longest dragon tunnel at 115 meters. It serves as a practical stop for buses traveling between major destinations like Batu Pahat, Muar, and Segamat rather than as a primary travel destination.
