Terengganu
is a Malaysian state endowed with a wealth of spellbinding - and enjoyable
- natural landscapes. Terengganu, it is often said, has the most amazing
geographic and natural diversity out of all the states in the nation.
Few visitors would disagree...
She has beaches, exotic islands, lush virgin tropical jungle, quaint
fishing villages, dazzling waterfalls and much, much more. Her miles
and miles of white, sandy beaches and crystal clear waters stretch the
length of its 225km coastline from Besut in the north to Kemaman in
the south.
Her islands are among the most picturesque and fascinating in the country.
From its myriad of colourful pastimes, which include batik printing
and songket weaving, to the celebration of its many generations of cultural
and traditional heritage, Terengganu is indeed a very blessed state.
Terengganu's population, which stands at just over 1 million, consists
of 90% Malays, with the rest being made up of Chinese and Indians. The
pace of life in Kuala Terengganu, the state capital, and all the towns
and villages in Terengganu is unhurried.
Terengganu's history goes back to the 1st century AD and has long been
an important repository of Malay culture.
