The pace of life in Kuala Terengganu, its capital state, and all the towns and villages in Terengganu is unhurried and unaffected by the hustle and bustle of a big city.
Terengganu's history goes back to as far as the 1st century and has long been an important area of Malay settlement. Throughout the time up to the present day, Terengganu has been ruled by 16 Sultans.

Turtle-Watching at Rantau Abang
The warm grainy sands of Rantau Abang are thought to be the
ideal nesting grounds for the giant Dermocheleys coriaca
(leatherback turtles). Rantau Abang is one of the few leatherback
nesting sites in the world. Turtle sanctuaries have been
established in an effort to reverse the decline of leatherback
turtles. Collection (except by licensed turtle egg collectors)
or eating of turtle eggs are forbidden. In the Rantau Abang
Visitors' Centre, a documentary on the turtle and its nesting
habits is screened at regular intervals
