The largely Islamic state of Terengganu is home to some of Malaysia’s most authentic heritage. Once visitors leave the resort areas, they quickly encounter a very candid window into Malaysia’s culture. Despite being a conservative destination, locals are welcoming of tourists and there’s plenty of friendly hospitality to enjoy here.
Terengganu has some phenomenal activities for children. Skateboarding is popular in Terengganu, and there are some good facilities set aside for adept skaters and novices alike. Children are thrilled by the firefly sanctuary in Chukai and a planetarium offers a wealth of educational shows and exhibits. Meanwhile, volunteers are welcome at the Turtle Sanctuary, where parents usually enjoy the activities as much as children.

Chinese New Year: a season of great celebration, the Chinese New Year involves much family-centred celebration. Relatives and friends give red packets (angpows) with cash to children and young adults. While most of Malaysia celebrates this holiday for two days, the festivities in Terengganu are limited to one day.
Terengganu offers a wealth of sightseeing attractions for visitors. In Kualal Terengganu, the Floating Mosque is the most magnificent attraction, but there are just as many small gems off the beaten path. Islands off the coast hold largely deserted beaches that make for great daytrips. Journeys along the Marang River offer a fantastic glimpse of the region’s agricultural culture. Pristine forests hold wildlife, ancient trees and plenty of hiking trails.

Kuala Terengganu’s Sultan Mahmud Airport offers a limited selection of domestic flights within peninsular Malaysia. Flights head primarily to Kuala Lumpur and Kuantan in Penang. The airport is located nine miles from Kuala Terengganu, and transit to the city centre is relatively simple.
