Introduction

Terengganu State Museum, Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia

Located on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, Kuala Terengganu is the capital of the state of Terengganu. It's popular with travellers in Malaysia, if only because Kuala Terengganu's Sultan Mahmud Airport (IATA:TGG) is the main arrival point for travellers heading to either the Perhentian Islands or Redang Island. There are several daily flights from Kuala Lumpur and a few times a week from Singapore.

From the airport travellers find their way to the jetty at Merang (for most resorts on Redang Island), the central Shahbandar Jetty (for the Berjaya Redang Resort) or Kuala Besut (for the Perhentian Islands).
