Head east - Terengganu

There are so many things to see and do in Terengganu. Pulau Redang and Pulau Perhentian in Terengganu are famous for their white sandy beaches and crystal-clear water. The coral species and marine life attract divers from all over the world. Tourists can choose to relax on the beach or indulge in various water sports. Or get your adrenaline pumping with a 4WD adventure through lush rainforests.

Just 55km inland of Kuala Terengganu is Lake Kenyir, the largest manmade lake in the world and an anglers’ paradise. Foodies will want to sample Terengganu’s cuisine, which shows Thai, Chinese and Indian influences. Keropok lekornasi dagang and laksamare among the signature dishes and can be found everywhere.

In this shopping haven, you’ll be spoilt for choice with its selection of batiksongket, silk, keris, woodcarvings, woven mats, baskets, silverware and brassware. To learn about Terengganu’s ancient history, visit the State Museum which houses a collection of artifacts dating back to the Stone Age and the Malay classical period right to the 19th century.
