Kuala Terengganu is a city in Malaysia and the state capital of Terengganu. It is located on the east coast of the Malay Peninsula, 288 km (332 km by road) northeast of Kuala Lumpur. This commercial port still has an old town full of shophouses and houses on stilts. Upon your arrival, you have the opportunity to observe the techniques of ancestral crafts, to explore the Malay and Muslim traditions at Muzium Negeri Terengganu and to taste the fish donut, a specialty of the region.
Being a big city, it has sumptuous sites to see. Visitors will mainly visit Pulau Duyung (an ancient wooden mansion), Istana Maziah (Sultan's Palace), floating mosque, Sutera Semai Center (a silk weaving center) to the hill of the princess (transformed into a fortress in 1831). Do not miss the museum of the city of Terengganu (whose collections bring together ancient palaces, traditional boats and other precious textiles, kriss, copper drums ... and even ... a petrol pump in the oil gallery, with reference to what makes today the wealth of the region) and the district "Chinatown", the most attractive corner of Kuala Terengganu.
