4 days in Kuantan Itinerary

The capital of Malaysia's third-largest state, busy Kuantan remains generally untouristed, yet continues to grow as a residential urban community.

Change things up with these side-trips from Kuantan: Cherating (Cherating Turtle Sanctuary & Cherating River), Kemaman District Museum (in Chukai) and Sungai Lembing (Rainbow Waterfall & Bukit Panorama). There's lots more to do: kick back and relax at Teluk Chempedak, look for gifts at Cowboy Enterprise, discover the riches below the earth's surface at Sungai Lembing Mines, and browse the different shops at East Coast Mall.
