7 days in Kuantan Itinerary

The capital of Malaysia's third-largest state, busy Kuantan remains generally untouristed, yet continues to grow as a residential urban community.

You've now added Natural Batik Village to your itinerary. Change things up with these side-trips from Kuantan: Abu Bakar Palace (in Pekan), Sungai Lembing (Rainbow Waterfall & Bukit Panorama) and Gambang Water Park (in Gambang). There's still lots to do: enjoy the sand and surf at Teluk Chempedak, buy something for everyone on your list at East Coast Mall, make a trip to Masjid Sultan Ahmad Shah, and admire the sheer force of Sungai Pandan Waterfall.
