KT - JAMBI HOUSE AND JAMBI MOSQUE

For those who wish to discover the history of Kg. Pasir Gajah, a visit to ‘Rumah Jambi’ and ‘Masjid Jambi’ are in order and you will feel excited with the uniqueness of both historical places. Jambi House was erected by Engku Mahmud Engku Abu Bakar, a Jambi royalty in 1933. Based on the facts, it was built by Chinese craftsmen from Chukai, Terengganu, the spot for this house is elevated so as to prevent flood waters from being entering the house. The clean surroundings as well as detailed construction enhance the house’s architecture.

The construction process of the house was time-consuming and laborious. At that time, no modern tools are used except for brute strength and simple hand tools such as wood plane. The timber was taken from the forest by using axes. The roofs, on the other hand, were tiles imported from India and brought to Pasir Gajah by ship which took about two years to arrive. The construction of Jambi House was fully-completed in 1937 and the costs are around RM30, 000.

KT - Journey To Kuala Terengganu From N9

Our holiday trip to Kuala Terengganu, East Malaysia, from the 14th of Jan 2011 - 16th of Jan 2011 Friday, 14th of Jan 2011. Me as a handsome guy, my pretty wife, our cute daughter sarah left Senawang at 7am early in the morning, by car (Perodua Alza).

I think it is better to travel via the kl-senawang-kuala pilah-muadzam shah road than kl - karak highway - muadzam shah coz it's nearer and the most importantly is no speed cameras there. Hooray! To be exact, Muadzam Shah is a town under the district of Rompin, Southeast of Pahang. Muadzam Shah is 100km away from Kuantan and 80km away from Segamat. Muadzam Shah is so ulu that not many people know about this place.

We reached Kuantan at 10 pm after stop at Petronas Simpang Chini.. We journeyed via LPT all the way to Chukai Kemaman, stop at RNR at 11.30am & reached Mesra Mall Kijal around 1.30 pm..Take a break rush for Pizza.

We reached Kuala Terengganu, West Malaysia around 4.00 pm in the evening.. Pak Bakar as a Manager of Homestay Warisan Teluk Ketapang came to pick us up from Mydin. Checked into Homestay Warisan around 4.30pm.. We bought our dinner that night at the nearby “pasar malam” called Pasar Malam Kota Duyung Lama..

On our way to Kuala Terengganu we saw "many-many" attractions place at Terengganu. I will explain the details one by one.. “Sabar Menanti”.
