KUALA TERENGGANU MALAYSIA


KUALA TERENGGANU
MALAYSIA





Kuala Terengganu is the capital of the State of Terengganu in north-eastern part of Malaysia. Roughly translated the name means a bright rainbow, which this city surely is.





It is often called KT for short. These shortened forms are popular in Malaysia, KL for Kuala Lumpur, KK for Kuala Kinabalu. KT is only some 400 kilometers away fro KL by road but well over 400 sea miles since it is necessary to sail around Singapore to get there.





KT is a trasure of the East Coast of Malaysia. It is a gateway to amazing Redang Island, the Perhentians and Kapa Islands.








The Museum Negeri Terengganu is a must to visit. Also the Crystal Mosque and Islamic Park Taman Tamadun Islam are worth visiting. The Crystal Mosque built on reclaimed, man made island is a construction of glass and crystal that glisten in the sunshine. The Park has miniature models of Mosques around the world.









Street Art is ever popular in KT. Murals decorate many walls and streets. A stroll through the streets of KT is a pleasure.
