From Tourism Terengganu Website :
Acclaimed as the largest of its kind in Malaysia, the Terengganu State Museum houses century old artifacts and artworks of rich and colourful heritage. Located on 27 hectares of land in Bukit Losong, Kuala Terengganu, the complex itself is an impressive architectural feature, based on the ancient Terengganu palace designs and architectures. The complex’s many galleries showcase textiles, historical artifacts, crafts, royal regalia, Islamic arts, contemporary arts, weapons, petroleum development, historical, sea faring trade, fisheries and marine galleries.

2.  Museum Vicinity
See bridge. Walk!
Jom! Jom! Jom! I want to walk over on the bridge. Wanted to see what is on the other side, mysterious heh!

Agak scary yet olskool ler jugak... macam masuk Kampung Pura Cendana ehhehehheh....

3. Crystal Mosque at  Islamic Civilization Park
Terengganu landmark
I might be bias but I still prefer The Floating Mosque or Tengku Tengah Zaharah

We got lost while trying to find Pulau Duyong and ended up on the other side of the Crystal Mosque. Well, sometimes getting lost might be benefitting after all (for we got the view we wanted). Hahahahhahah...

4. Traditional Boat Building in Pulau Duyong
New advennture. New experience.
From VacationTourz website :

Terengganu is the centre of boat building for the East Coast, principally in the mouth of the main river and to a lesser extent at other points along the seaboard. At the present time one of the more popular places for traditional boat building methods is at Pulau Duyong, Kuala Terengganu. There, traditional boat-builders continue to produce seaworthy vessels relying entirely on traditional skills and long experience. The same method of construction is in widespread use throughout the region, and can be traced right back to the time when records began. Their methods are particularly well adapted to local requirements and prevailing conditions, using just the tools that are locally available.

Satu daerah, Satu Awek would be Adam's version. Hehhehehheh....
