Belinyu is a town and district (kecamatan) of Bangka Regency, in the Bangka-Belitung province of Indonesia.
The district is located on the northern tip of Bangka Island.
Edward Balfour recorded that the mines in Belinyu were established by a Chinese from Palembang, referred to as Demang Ko.
[2] In 1919, steam turbines were installed in Mantung (within Belinyu) to supply electrical power to tin mining operations in Bangka.
[3][4] Following the independence of Indonesia, the island of Bangka was subdivided into five administrative regions (kewedanan).
