| COUNTRY | MALAYSIA | | CITY | KUALA TERENGGANU | | TITLE | KUALA TERENGGANU | Highlight of Tour Introduction
Steeped in rich history, unique culture and the splendour of nature, Kuala Terengganu will charm you in no time. The royal capital of the State of Terengganu is well-known for being the gateway to the most beautiful islands of Peninsular Malaysia such as Perhentian and Redang, and yet visitors traversing the mainland state will also find hidden gems in its laidback traditional Malay villages. |
PLACES OF INTEREST
| 1. Kenyir Lake |
| Said to be the largest manmade lake in Southeast Asia at 260,000 hectares, the rainforest-fringed basin will cast a spell on nature lovers and photographers. Within the area are 340 mini-islands, floating chalets, caves, rivers and waterfalls, so go cruising, bird watching, fishing, caving, kayaking, camping and waterfall trekking. |
| 2. Sekayu Recreational Forest Reserve |
| Time to get away from the hustle and bustle of big cities and surround yourself with the wonders of nature! Known for its seven-tier waterfall, you can also explore the fruit orchard and Terrapin Conservation Centre at this lush forest reserve. |
| 3. Islands |
| Glittering waters and powder-white beaches beckon as you unleash your inner beach bum at some of the world’s best islands—Redang, Lang Tengah, Kapas and Gemia—all just a boat ride away from Kuala Terengganu’s Merang jetty. |
| 4. Islamic Civilisation Park |
| Learn about rich Islamic heritage and innovations in this one-of-a-kind park with miniature replicas of 22 magnificent Islamic sites. Exploring the park is a breeze as there’s buggy service complete with a guided tour. Don’t forget to visit the dazzling Crystal Mosque, the new landmark of Kuala Terengganu! |
| 5. Batu Bersurat Memorial |
| Beyond the memorial gates is the Inscribed Stone of Terengganu – evidence of one of the earliest Jawi (Arabic alphabet for writing the Malay language) writings in Southeast Asia, listed by one of UNESCO’s Memory of the World. |
| 6. Terengganu State Museum |
| The largest museum of its kind in Malaysia features century-old artefacts and the original Batu Bersurat (Inscribed Stones) in Jawi script, dating back from 1303. |
| 7. Batu Buruk Beach |
| Enjoy various recreation activities on the beach, like flying a ‘Wau Bulan’, an intricately designed Malaysian moon-kite. Also situated along the beach is the Gelanggang Seni (Cultural Centre) where you can check out traditional dances and games every weekend. |
| 8. Pulau Duyung |
| Custom-made wooden boat, anyone? Cross over to Pulau Duyung (Mermaid Island) and witness traditional boat-making by skilled craftsmen. The island also hosts the prestigious Monsoon Cup, a high-profile annual international sailing event. |
| 9. Pasar Payang (Central Market) |
| Fill your day with colour and shine, as there’s songket (hand-woven textile with gold and silver threads), batik and brassware everywhere you look! Time to load up on souvenirs here! |
| 10. Bukit Puteri & Istana Maziah |
| Take the escalator from the Waterfront Bazaar to the historic 19th-century Bukit Puteri (Princess Hill) Fort for breathtaking views and to learn up on important historical facts. Istana Maziah, a French-inspired palace used for official royal and state ceremonies, can be admired from the grounds a short walk away from Bukit Puteri. |
| 11. Nasi Dagang |
| One thing’s for sure—a plate of aromatic Siamese white rice and glutinous rice mix drenched with thick, curry-like fish gravy will have you all set for the day ahead. |
