Terengganu is a sultanate and constitutive state of federal Malaysia. The state is also known by its Arabic honorific, Darul Iman ("Abode of Faith"). The coastal city of Kuala Terengganu, at the mouth of the broad Terengganu River, is both the state and royal capital and is the largest city in Terengganu.
Vibrant, wild, and uniquely exciting, Terengganu promises to astound you with its extraordinary mix of exotic flora and fauna. Located on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, this treasure trove is home to some of the most spectacular wonders of the natural world, including 130 million-year-old rainforest and the largest man-made lake in Southeast Asia.
Pulau Perhentian - Stopover Island :D
Pulau Perhentian, meaning 'stopover island', is not to be missed. Situated 21km off the coast of Terengganu, it consists of the islands of Pulau Perhentian Besar and Pulau Perhentian Kecil. Covered by unspoilt jungle, windswept palms, powdery white beaches and surrounded by sapphire blue waters, Pulau Perhentian is a sanctuary for fishermen, migratory birds and of course, discerning holiday-makers.
Kenyir Lake
Tasik Kenyir is the largest man-made lake in Southeast Asia, spanning 260,000 hectares. It is also Malaysia's largest rock filled hydroelectric dam. When the area was flooded, most of the hills were above the water level, thus creating about 340 man-made islands.
Chemerung Waterfall ;)
One of the most famous recreational forests in Malaysia, Hutan Lipur Sungai Chemerung is also home to the highest waterfall in the country. The dazzling spectacle that is the Chemerung Waterfall plunges majestically from 305 metres through beautiful steep rock faces before smashing into the waters below. The waterfall is located about 30 kilometres from Bandar Al Muktafi Billah Shah.
