5 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Sungai Lembing (Rainbow Waterfall, Sungai Lembing Museum, &more) and Cherating (Cherating Turtle Sanctuary, Cherating River, &more). The adventure continues: tour the pleasant surroundings at Teluk Chempedak, browse the eclectic array of goods at Hasil Laut Kiah Kee, browse the different shops at Berjaya Megamall, and go deep underground at Sungai Lembing Mines.
