Today Bukit Besi is a tourist attraction which is visitors can still marvel at the remnants of the tunnels, tin plants, and the stockpile buildings, the chimneys of the processing plants, the pool, the manager's residence and parts of the rail tracks.

To those looking for souvenirs, some raw, unprocessed iron-ore can still be found scattered on the ground, a stark reminder of one of the biggest iron-ore productions in the world.
