3 days in Kuala Terengganu Itinerary

Once a small fishing village, Kuala Terengganu is now a developing city where skyscrapers often stand shoulder to shoulder with traditional kampong-style houses.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Penarik Beach and Paya Bunga Square. Kampung China (Chinatown) and Crystal Mosque are good opportunities to explore the local culture. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Kuala Terengganu: Dungun (Dungun Great Market & Pantai Teluk Bidara). There's much more to do: browse the eclectic array of goods at Pasar Payang, head off the coast to Gemia Island, look for gifts at Noor Arfa Craft Complex, and appreciate the history behind Turtle Sculpture.

For more things to do, other places to visit, ratings, and other tourist information, refer to the Kuala Terengganu sightseeing planner.

In February, daytime highs in Kuala Terengganu are 35°C, while nighttime lows are 28°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 8th (Wed) so you can travel back home.
