Best Things to do in Kuala Terengganu Malaysia

1. Explore Chinatown in Kuala Terengganu

Kuala Terengganu has an interesting Chinatown with several nice restaurants serving Chinese, Malay and continental dishes. I visited this location a couple of times during the daytime and nighttime as well. The popular Turtle Alley is in Chinatown with wall marking and engraving providing information on Turtle Conservation efforts in the area. The riverfront area is popular with weekend markets and plenty of nice restaurants. 

Kuala Lumpur is a fun-packed city for solo traveller and families alike. With over 50,000 hotel rooms and millions of visitors comings to this amazing city, KL is has improved tremendously in the last couple of years offering an amazing mix of traditional and modern architecture.

Whether you are a history buff who likes exploring the cultural history of colonial occupation and rich history of arts and crafts, KL has a lot to offers in its amazing Cultural Museums and amazing historical building around Merdeka Square. Stay in a colonial-styled Majestic Hotel to live the rich colonial lifestyle of the early nineteenth century.  

Pulau Kapas is a popular island destination on the East coast of Malaysia because of its easy access from Kuala Terengganu and Kuantan. Kapas Island is an amazing destination for a day trip if you are staying in Kuala Terengganu.

Most tourists stop over KT to catch a ferry to Perhentian Islands where they normally stay for one or two nights. Paula Kapas offers easy access for families and travellers who do not want to spend a night in the Islands. I travelled to Paula Kapas in August 2019 which is a great time of the year to explore this unique location. Here is some useful information if you are planning to explore Pulau Kapas.
