Kuala Terengganu is the capital of Terengganu state on Malaysia's east coast, a city that blends Malay heritage with a beautiful coastline and island-hopping opportunities. The Chinatown district and the ornate Crystal Mosque on Wan Man Island are city highlights, while the offshore Perhentian Islands — with their crystal-clear water and coral reefs — are among Malaysia's most beautiful dive and snorkel destinations, reachable by speedboat from nearby Kuala Besut.
