Muzium Negeri Terengganu

Reviewed By ainatirah97 - Dungun, Malaysia

This museum is outstanding in any aspects. First of all, its enormous, magnificent yet traditional architecture is the attraction factor for me. Even though I’m not a fan of complex architecture yet Terengganu State Museum managed to spark wee interest towards its unique and beautiful design of the building. Secondly, you get to see the original Terengganu Inscribed Stone. As you explore deeper in the museum, you can’t help but to feel that you’re being transported back to the ancient era as the museum is styled alike the old Malay castle. Terengganu State Museum consists of 4 main blocks in which there are 7 galleries in the museum complex namely Islamic Gallery, Textile Gallery, Royal Gallery, Historic Gallery, Craft Gallery, Petroleum Gallery, and Natural History Gallery. All of the galleries are entertaining and fascinating to be visited. Get ready to be enthralled as unlike any other museum, Terengganu State Museum got lots to offer. Not only showcasing artefacts in the galleries at the main building yet it is also complimented with a Maritime Museum, 5 traditional houses, 2 large boats (Kemajuan and Sabar), beautifully trimmed landscaped area, mini zoo and aquaria. Given that it caters a very wide area so you need to walk there. However, worry not the tram service is ready to take you to the designed destination. The fees for the tram is RM 2 for adult and RM 1 for children. In the Maritime Museum, there are another 2 galleries to be explored: Seafaring and Trade Gallery and Fisheries Gallery ( this gallery is the farthest of the museum complex as it showcases real sized boats thus needing more space ) Usually visitors spent 2 hours strolling around the museum complex so it is crucial to plan your journey. This museum is opened daily at 9 a.m. and closed at 5 p.m. with an exception on Friday and Eid-ul Fitri ( it’s closed) The entrance fees are reasonable. For Malaysian citizen, the fees are RM 5 for an adult and RM 2 for children. Meanwhile for the non-citizen, the fees are RM 15 for an adult and RM 10 for children. On a side note, make sure to hydrate yourself before entering the museum as food and drinks are not allowed inside the building. Also, don’t bother putting on sweaters as it’s pretty hot. A big shout-out to the museum staff for sharing quite an interesting information. To quote the museum staff “It is not because they have malfunctioning air conditioner, it’s just that is the requirements to preserve the artefacts” Time spent so well here. Will surely come again in the future. Now with Grab also making their promotion (valid from 22 Nov 2018-19 Dec 2018), why not makes Terengganu State Museum as your destination list in Kuala Terengganu?

Pulau Perhentian Kincir Angin

Reviewed By BigAsianChoice - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The Windmill Hike started from Long Beach. There were signages to assist hikers, and they were put up by the kind locals (unlike some other places with mass tourism that deliberately hide signages to confuse hikers). So please appreciate the kind effort and welcoming gesture of the locals (although some signages had Ads xD). Proper shoes to hike are advised, as it was quite steep at the beginning of the trail. Once you see the windmills, the viewpoint is located to the right. The view of the clear blue sea, green rolling hills and rocky cliffs, was a grand nature creation and a very rewarding sight.
