Terengganu - Woodcraft Centre


The beauty of wood crafts is so beautiful that no words can be used to describe them in the good old days where the woodcraft master spent almost their entire life working on their creation all day long. Their woodcarving skills are one of the top where floral designs are used mainly in the carvings. These woodcarvings are now being used mainly in government offices, corporations as well as in an individual's home. In Balai Ukiran Terengganu, you get to witness the production as well as carving in the process. Add: 265, Kampung Rhu Rendang, 21600 Marang, Terengganu Tel: 09-6186952

Terengganu - Rantau Abang Turtle Sanctuary

Rantau Abang, located 56 kilometres north of Kuala Terengganu, is a sanctuary for the giant leatherback turtle and a popular tourist destination. This is also one of only six beaches in the world where the giant leatherback turtles come in yearly between May and September to lay their eggs on the beach. This is one of the most famous tourist overnight-stop spot to watch the female turtles lay their eggs at night. The beach has a steep and deep slope that allows the turtles to land straight up the beach and lay their eggs. Leatherback turtles come to the same spot every year to lay their eggs.

My wife and baby, Maisarah, trying to smile. After check in, that evening, all of us headed to Mydin Hypermarket which located in the Central district.Mydin Hypermarkett was located right next to Giant Hypermart, however, the irony was the products sold in Mydin Hypermarket was much cheaper that products sold in Giant Hypermart. Did a bit of shopping at Mydin Hypermarket & after that we had bought our dinner at the nearby Pasar Malam Kota Duyung Lama.. :)
