14 Must-visit Kuantan Attractions: Best Places to Visit in Kuantan, Pahang

Kuantan, the capital of Pahang state , does not get the love it deserves from travelers. We don’t know why: hugged by very swimmable, long beaches that have nothing to envy to either Penang or Langkawi , and set only 3 and a half hours away from Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur along a perfectly paved highway, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t spend some time in this very underrated, and very cool coastal city.

Kuantan keeps changing and improving: in 2022, a new prominent Kuantan attraction, Tower 188, opened on the riverfront. On top of that, since 202 there’s amazing mural art (that probably surpasses even Penang’s famous street art ) and a young, creative vibe all over this green and leafy seaside town.

So if you are thinking of visiting Pahang’s capital, this article suggests a list of many interesting places in Kuantan we enjoyed, and that we think will make you come back to this cool and quaint seaside city time and time again.

How to reach Kuantan?

Here’s a map of Kuantan:

Kuantan By Flight

At the moment, Kuantan is only connected via flight from and to Kuala Lumpur , and otherwise, the only way to get here is by bus, or driving.

Kuantan by Bus

You can catch a direct bus to Kuantan from many major cities in Malaysia. The shortest route is via Kuala Lumpur, a 4-hour journey one way. We recommend that you book your tickets in advance:

• Penang to Kuantan
• Ipoh to Kuantan
• Kuala Lumpur to Kuantan

Kuantan By Car

It’s a long drive from Penang and the Northwestern Coast of Malaysia, so if you decided to drive, we recommend that you plan at least a stops along the way, such as Gua Musang , where you can go caving and explore the nearby Taman Negara Sungai Relau near the village of Merapoh , and Kenong Rimba Park .

From Kuala Lumpur, it’s a quick 3 hour drive along the scenic Karak Highway to Kuantan.

The Best Places to Visit in Kuantan

From big mosques to long beaches, waterfalls, street art, and vintage markets, Kuantan has it all. You’d be surprised by how cool this city is — especially as it’s much less pretentious than Penang or Kuala Lumpur, has far less traffic, and most landmarks are all within a 10 minutes drive from the city center.

1 Visit M asjid Sultan Ahmad and Kuantan central square, Padang MPK1

Like it or not, the biggest mosque in Pahang state is quite a sight and dominates the center of Kuantan. With four long and tall minarets that nod to the Islamic architectural style of Turkey and an impressive central dome, Masjid Sultan Ahmad is within walking distance of the Kuantan riverfront and faces directly the Padang MPK1, a large square. Come here from 8 pm to midnight every day to take a stroll at the Pasar Karat Padang MBK2 , where you’ll find everything, from new and second-hand clothing to street food and drinks.

2 Visit Kuantan Art Street (that easily makes a run for Penang’s) and Pasor Dinda

Since 2021 Jalan Taman — which runs parallel to the south of Masjid Sultan Ahmad and is two minutes walk away — spruced up into what is now better known as Kuantan Art Street. There are more than 30 excellent murals here, all drawn by 13 Pahang artists between 26 and 52 years old.

Among the most recognizable is a portrait of legendary Malaysian singer-songwriter Sudirman Arshad (originally from Temerloh in Pahang). Other noteworthy murals celebrate the indigenous peoples ( orang asli ) of Taman Negara Pahang, a flying dragon jotted all over the facade of a tall building, Pahang’s endangered Malayan tiger, the surfing off the coast, a KTM Malaysian train carriage, and much more.

Come here on a weekend, when the street comes alive with people and you can hop between the many little hole-in-the-wall bars that line it. Don’t miss the Pasor Dinda , a women-only handicraft market tucked at the southern end of Kuantan Art Street, where you may find cool jewelry and stuff made by some of Kuantan’s most talented women artisans.

Here’s a map of Kuantan Art Street:

3 Swim, Chill, and Hike at Teluk Chempedak

Kuantan’s most famous beach sits on the easternmost cape of the Kuantan River estuary. If truth be told, it has gentrified quite a bit in the past ten years or so since we first visited. Expect to find a barrage of new developments that include Starbucks, Subway, and McDonald’s outlets, together with other hip and trendy bistros and cafes where many locals and tourists throng daily. The place explodes on weekends, with people coming to chill on the beach — many lazying on the beanbags that one can rent from beachside stalls.

Don’t think that Teluk Chempedak is not worth going through — come on a weekday, take a walk on the beach and continue along the wooden walkway that proceeds north along the coast until the smaller, beautiful cove of Pantai Teluk Tongkang. There’s also a campsite here.

To the south of the main Teluk Chempedak beach are more walking trails and the popular Zoo Teruntum whose main claim to fame is the Dinosaur Encounter park — a Jurassic theme park in nature.

Here’s a map of Teluk Chempedak:

4 Have Nasi Kerabu for Breakfast at Kotam Station

Kuantan is very close to the southern end of Terengganu state, so it’s obvious that food, here, is a concoction of Pahang and East Coast tastes.

One place we enjoyed thoroughly was Kotam Station: this modern, airy restaurant is popular with locals and for a good reason — breakfast. The Nasi Kerabu is divine, served fresh, and spicy. Wash it all down with a cup of Kopi and don’t forget to try the roti bakar here, which is thick, crispy, and cooked in butter to perfection. Here’s how you get to Kotam Station:

5 Hunt for Some Bargains at Pasar Karat

If you like shopping for curious antiques and a lot of second-hand stuff, especially clothes, in very good shape, try to come to Kuantan on a weekend. Every Sunday morning, the Pasar Karat behind Kuantan Centre Point shopping mall offers several hours of second-hand paradise browsing. If you are looking for shoes and clothing, like second-hand jeans in very good condition at only RM10 per pair, or vintage records and toys, this is one place not to miss.

Come to Pasar Karat at this location:

6 See the City from above at Kuantan Tower 188

Opened in 2022 and modeled on a similar tower in Alor Star, Kedah , Kuantan Tower 188 is 188 meters tall and the second highest viewing platform in the country after the 421-meters-high Kuala Lumpur Tower.

For now, Kuantan Tower 188 has a 104-meters-high observation deck that grants 360-degree views over the city and the estuary. A rope course and other adventure activities similar to those offered at the Top in KOMTAR, Penang are coming soon — check their website, which always has the latest information on current events.

Here’s how to get to Kuantan Tower 188:

7 Explore the Hiking Trails at Bukit Pelindung

Hikers rejoice, for Kuantan actually has a hill just north of Teluk Chempedak. Bukit Pelindung has some short hiking trails, a waterfall, and plenty of greenery to keep you happy.

A common entry point is from the road starting about one km north of the Quarters of Pahang’s Forestry. If one goes straight, the road eventually leads to the top of Bukit Pelindung. Taking the right-hand path one passes by a wooden gazebo and the entry arch to a mountain bike trail. The start of the 1km-long Meranti Trail is next. If you continue, after a second gazebo keeps to the right and follows the way down to a parking lot.

By taking the left-hand path instead you can continue on the Meranti Sarang Punai trail, or stick on the main road until the junction to the boardwalk that leads back along the coast to Teluk Chempedak.

Here’s the location of the main trailhead in Bukit Pelindung:

8 Hike via a Water Dam to Bukit Galing

Maybe a bit less known than Bukit Pelindung is Bukit Galing, which is generally accessed from Taman Polo, where the main track starts behind the Petronas petrol pump. The first part of this hiking trail follows a drainage canal that leads up to the Bukit Galing Water Dam and its tall drop. After crossing the dam, the real jungle trek to the 296-meters-high summit starts. It’s a bit of a scrawl in parts, but from the top, the views of Kuantan and the surrounding valleys tumbling to the sea are fantastic.

Here’s a map of Bukit Galing’s trailhead:

9 Go back in time to Hujung Tanjung

Keen photographers shouldn’t miss this spot, called “the end of the cape” in Malay, where fishing boats, fishermen, and rustic wooden jetties all converge against a beautiful sea and mangroves backdrop for the perfect sunrise or sunset pictures.

It’s right on the southern bank of the Kuantan River mouth, only a short drive north of the Swiss-Belhotel Kuantan. If you come here, a popular spot to have fresh seafood is Celup Tepung. Nothing fancy on the outside, but pretty good meals here, much endorsed by locals. Get to Hujung Tanjung here:

10 Escape the Crowds at Pantai Kempadang Beach

If Teluk Chempedak is too busy for you, try a real undeveloped Kuantan beach at Pantai Kempadang, set on the southern outskirts of town. Locals come here for the views that stretch all the way to Teluk Chempedak’s cape and the camping facilities. You can easily decide to overnight here, as there are toilets and mandi (shower) facilities for only RM1. It’s a good spot to do a cookout and check the sunrise.

Best places to see on the outskirts of Kuantan

11 lao zi temple: kuantan’s weird and wonderful golden dragon temple.

Tucked away on a side road along the way west to Sungai Lembing, the Lao Zi temple’s main claim to fame is the 823-meter-long golden dragon that surrounds the temple complex. It made it into Malaysia’s Book of Records.

Once you park your car, you’ll enter from the dragon’s backside — where there’s a ticket booth, which is often not manned. A donation of RM5 is expected, and if you won’t find anyone here, you’ll pay after having walked through the dragon’s body (a corridor with few covered parts that’s best tackled in the early morning or late afternoon) and exited through its mouth in the temple grounds proper.

The fun continues all around the dragon’s open mouth, where many statues — including dinosaurs, the animals of the Chinese Zodiac, and miniatures of Chinese philosophers placed on dioramas of rocks — will easily take up an hour or so of your time. Don’t forget to visit the temple itself, for it has some interesting ancient statues on the altar.

12 Visit Sungai Pandan Waterfall, Kuantan’s Most Beloved Waterfall

This beautiful waterfall is the largest multi-tiered fall in the state and has a large pool where locals come to swim and picnic. The biggest fall cascades for about 250 meters and has three tiers.

Sungai Pandan Waterfall is about 13km from Kuantan in a FELDA area near Panching, and opens at 9 am — come early to beat the crowds, especially on weekends, when queues of cars await for their turn to enter the waterfall’s road access gate. There are several short hiking trails around the sides of the fall, and basic facilities to start a fire and BBQ your lunch.

13 Go Caving and Re-align your Chakras at Gua Charas

Timing: 8.30 am — 5 pm (longer on days of celebrations and prayer)

This stone massif, home to the Sivan Hindu temple, is 25km away from Kuantan town on the way to Sungai Lembing. You’ll turn off the main road at the small town of Panching, and drive through plantations to this soaring 355-meter-tall cave complex that’s said to be 400 million years old.

Gua Charas is sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists, and shelters a 30-feet long reclined Buddha, a recent Hindu shrine, and a collection of many other statues of Buddhist and Hindu deities.

You can park your car outside, where you’ll be charged RM2, and then walk up a few flights of metallic stairs that lead visitors up the hill face and onto the main cave’s entrance (another RM2 is expected — you have to drop the offer into a box hanging on the wall). The cave itself is HUGE: you will follow a concrete road built to transport things into the cave down to the floor of the main chamber. From there, looking back at the entrance you’ll feel like a very, very small thing.

14 Explore Sungai Lembing, a Gem of a Former Mining Village

Sungai Lembing is arguably one of the most beautiful and characteristic small towns in Malaysia and it’s a must-see when in Kuantan. Sungai Lembing is set about 42km northwest of Kuantan’s city center, from where road C4 proceeds west, becoming then Road 231. Follow it all the way to the center of Sungai Lembing.

READ MORE – The Ultimate Guide to Sungai Lembing

Pretty much just a handful of wooden homes and shophouses scattered along the meandering Kenau river, Sungai Lembing boasts an idyllic setting surrounded by verdant hills and mountains. There’s hiking, Chinese food galore, and plenty to learn about the town’s mining history. A day trip is enough, but it’s best to stay the night and rise early to catch the sunrise a Panorama Hill and then take a trip to the beautiful Rainbow Waterfall.

Here’s a map to Sungai Lembing:

Swim The Exotic Beaches Of Cherating

One of the top beaches near Kuantan is located in Cherating, a nearby Kuantan best place to visit. Cherating is home to this area’s first Club Med, so it’s no wonder this location is worth visiting.

Below are my top three suggestions comprised of a budget, mid-range and luxury option.

BEST – Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort Review

The Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort is somewhat of a famous place in Kuantan being a world renowned hotel chain. This five star hotel is expertly positioned on the beach with a pool that also lines it.

The facilities at Hyatt Regency make it a place of interest in Kuantan Pahang in its own right. On-site is a wonderful lounge area for guests to relax, as well as a great fitness center and spa. It’s also located within walking distance to the gates of the Mini Zoo – great for families.

MID-RANGE – Glex Hotel Kuantan Review

Bucket List: Best Activities and Amazing Places to Visit in Kuantan, Malaysia

Table of Contents

M alaysia is one of the powerhouses in Asia if you’re thinking about a travel spree. The most popular places to visit are the eye candies of Kuala Lumpur–the Petronas Twin Towers, the Batu Caves in Selangor, and the peak of Mount Kinabalu at Sabah.

Besides these beloved landmarks, there’s so much more to discover in this impressive country. Be prepared to be gifted with warm smiles, genuine hospitality, and incredible encounters. As more of Malaysia opens up to the world, cities like Kuantan continue to grab many culture-savvy wanderers’ attention. Have you heard of Kuantan yet? These fifteen activities are the most amazing in this explorable Malaysian city.

Look forward to lounging at Batu Hitam.

If you want an endearing destination that will make it to your bucket list as well as your list of ‘most favorites,’ you’ve already found it through one of Kuantan’s beaches. Batu Hitam is a beach showcasing a gorgeous stretch of black stones, a feature you will hardly find anywhere else.

The sunrise, coupled with the distinct waterfront’s breathtaking view, is, without a doubt, one of the best moments you can experience.

Rush to the beaches in Cherating

One of the best tourist spots in Kuantan, Cherating Beach is another go-to place if you want a unique beach vibe. Its fine white sand is accessible yet untouched, making it one of the most irresistible destinations in the city.

If you are visiting during July and August, you will see more turtles laying their eggs at the turtle sanctuary. This spellbinding haven is not only a paradise to beachgoers but to a growing number of turtles too.

Look around the holy Gua Charas.

Some destinations will blow your mind, melt your heart, and wet your eyes. Tourist or not, the Gua Charas will exceed all your expectations. It is a temple in a cave sitting on a beauteous 400-year-old limestone hill. Truly a must-see place if you love visiting religious, cultural, and heritage sites.

Visiting the temple will feed your soul while your eyes feast on the bountiful beauty offered by the surroundings. The sheer size of the 355-meter limestone hill against the thick greeneries will amaze you. Although this is far from being the most sophisticated temple in Malaysia, the natural setting is incredibly different from other temples you would’ve seen.

Be renewed at the Lao Zi Temple.

If you’ve had enough chaotic days, you deserve no less than a serene surrounding. Hidden in the middle of Kuantan’s busy city is the Lao Zi temple, offering a piece of peace and calm.

This is an ideal place to heal or unwind. After all, silence is a great strength source, and we totally agree with Lao Zi on this.

Set off for Sultan Ahmad Shah State Mosque

Malaysia is a melting pot of different cultures, encouraging diversity and spirituality. Apart from the country’s inspiring Buddhist and Hindu temples, there are many mosques. Whether you want your praises heard or you want to be amazed by intricate creativity, the Sultan Ahmad Shah State Mosque welcomes you.

You will instantly notice the huge dome and the rocket-like minarets. The design of this mosque is space-inspired, making it one of its kind.

Get off at Teruntum Mini Zoo

Do you want to revel in rich woodland and some species of tamed wildlife? Kuantan has a thoughtfully curated mini zoo waiting for you and your loved ones.

Prepare to be welcomed by vibrantly colored peacocks, endangered iguana species, gentle-eyed deers, and vigorous rabbits. Enjoy nature at its finest, only at Teruntum Mini Zoo.

Check-in at one of the Sungai Lembing resorts

A stylish vacation in Malaysia is made possible by the resorts at Sungai Lembing. Resorts that are mildly and luxuriously priced exist, giving every visitor variety of options. If you’re in Malaysia on your backpack without much plan, Kuantan is undoubtedly a great place to look into.

There are plenty of activities to try across its corners. However, if you just want to lounge in one area, the resorts at Sungai Lembing are highly recommended. Some of the best-rated resorts are the Pollock View and the Casa Hill Resort .

Have fun at the Sungai Pandan Waterfall

If you love nature raw, Sungai Pandan Waterfall can easily be the highlight of your trip. Its forests are luscious, accessible, and comfortable.

The impressive view of nature, coupled with the outstanding waterfalls and the soothing temperature, is almost difficult to put into words. You can swim, hike, trail, meditate, have fun with family, and have a picnic. The experience is unlike any other.

Head to Taman Bandar for relaxation

Visiting parks allow nature’s peace to flow into you as the sunshine flows into trees. Taman Bandar is an urban park in Kuantan with every angle, allowing you to relax and destress. You can have a meaningful walk through its pathway leading to simple yet soothing grasslands.

There’s also a jogging track to keep healthy and various courts to play with locals. If you don’t have much time to stay in the city, walking through Taman Bandar for just 15 minutes will work wonders in keeping you happy and healthy.

Feel refreshed after visiting Taman Esplanade Kuantan

Walking by the seaside has unfathomable merits. Through walking, you can clear your thoughts and attract great ideas. Friedrich Nietzsche, the German philosopher, once said that “All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.’

If you’re running a little low on creativity and peace of mind, the park that is Taman Esplanade Kuantan has one of the best sights for you. Its walkway is 1 kilometer long and lies between a line of luxurious hotels and an exquisite waterfront. With nature on one side and modernity on the other, you could certainly feel the best of both worlds.

Don’t miss the beauty of nature at Taman Gelora.

Taman Gelora, a park in Kuantan, is getting increasingly noticed because of the jaw-dropping view. The sunrise comes on top of the ‘most stunning’ list at this park without batting an eyelash. The lotus pond will mesmerize you on one angle, while the nearby lake tantalizes you on the next.

There’s a surrounding forest to fix your glance on and a dreamy sandy beach to dip in. With all these wondrous sceneries around, you can expect a nice breeze hugging you. Taman Gelora is easily one of the most unforgettable places in Kuantan.

Cave at Taman Negara National Park

How does walking on the world’s longest canopy walkway sound? If you’re up for an adrenaline rush, there’s a lot of adventure waiting for you at the Taman Negara National Park. There’s a multitude of ways to discover every nooks and crack of a 130 million-year-old rainforest, and you can do as much exploration as your heart desires. Aborigine village is one of the most underrated places to visit here.

You can experience camping, caving, and fishing at this park too. If you’re up for a trek to the highest mountain in Peninsular Malaysia, you’ve finally found your wonderland. What makes this an even greater experience is you can enter this park at Kuantan and exit to other parts of Malaysia.

Rest at the Palm Beach

A beach getaway always spells an idyllic holiday. One of Kuantan’s most valuable gems offers the sun, sea, and loads of fun. Palm Beach, also known as Teluk Chempedak Beach , is famous for the palm trees that line its coast.

Because of its unparalleled popularity among locals and tourists, local and international dining options are available in its vicinity. Palm Beach is also a surfer’s paradise. If you’ve been thinking about surfing, the chance is up for your immediate grabbing.

Get inspired at 3D Gallery Sg Lembing.

Apart from exploring the parks and beaches of Kuantan, this city’s art scene is also a must-see. The first-ever three-dimensional gallery in Malaysia is in Kuantan, featuring a local and well-celebrated artist for a more exciting twist.

The 3D Gallery Sg Lembing has a two-story building showcasing a Malaysian artist’s creativity in thirty 3D paintings. Watch these artworks come to life the soonest time possible.

Satisfy your taste buds

If you want to smell and taste Malaysia’s history, your wishes will be served on a local platter. Nasi Lemak, the country’s national dish, is beloved by all Malaysians. This coconut rice meal is served with a hard-boiled egg made more flavorful by Malaysian spices and sauces. This is usually wrapped in banana leaf and occasionally includes squid in curry.

If you’re a seafoodie, you’ll love the Malaysian version of grilled fish. The Ikan Bakar, in simplest terms, is grilled fish that’s marinated to local perfection.

Malaysian coffee, especially the Ipoh White Coffee, is a must-try too. It’s flavorful and strong; it’s everything you need in a coffee.

Kuantan is a beloved Malaysian city on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. As the state capital of Pahang, it is also home to lush forests and beautiful beaches for you to enjoy a relaxing time away from the bustling city lifestyle. With so many places to visit in this city, here are some of the best attractions in Kuantan.

1. Teluk Cempedak

Teluk Cempedak gets its name from the abundance of jackfruit trees found there. Cempedak is a tropical fruit with a sweet, soft, and creamy texture. The beach is now famous for friendly monkeys that do not harm humans.

Many love to cool off at Sungai Pandan Waterfall by taking a dip in its refreshing waters while enjoying the breeze. It consists of beautiful cascading and rapids, two rivers joining from the hill down to the large pool, making it appealing for swimming, especially on weekends. Hiking along the paths through the hanging bridge to the other bankside, where you may take a plunge in the water and reach the top of the waterfall, is a great way to experience nature.

3. Sultan Ahmad 1 Mosque (Masjid Sultan Ahmad 1)

Masjid Negeri Pahang or Sultan Ahmad 1 Mosque, the largest mosque in Kuantan, is located in the city’s heart. It also has four minarets, like the famous Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque in Shah Alam, but with a distinct Ottoman architectural design. When the mosque is illuminated at night, it becomes a lovely sight while running across the enormous football field after sunset.

There is a tranquil feeling that will surely touch one’s heart while walking in the courtyard of this mosque. Some may even feel closer to God during prayer, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. However, serene does not mean uninteresting. The mosque is one of the most photogenic spots at Kuantan. It has a lovely view from sunrise and sunset, making it a perfect spot for photography.

4. Mini Zoo Park Teruntum

Mini Zoo Park Teruntum is one of the most beautiful mini zoos and attractions in Kuantan that you should visit.

Charas Cave lies at the bottom of the imposing 1,000 metres high Panching hills, which has an area of 86 acres in the small town of Sungai Lembing. This millions of years old cave is a major attraction among amateurs, professional archaeologists, and geographers. The unique rock formations were formed of granite and limestone. It will require you to traverse a series of steps to get to this Kuantan attraction, which might be difficult for older people.

The coexistence of the Chinese Sleeping Buddha and Shiva Linga within the cave reflects Malaysia’s multicultural and harmonious nature. The best time to visit is on a bright afternoon when the Buddha will be bathed in sunshine which makes the cave beautiful and soothing, and you’ll fall in love with it all – a must-see location for sure.

6. Gelora Park (Taman Gelora)

Located about 2 kilometres from the city centre is Gelora Park, a seafront recreation park with a beautiful landscape and jogging trek. This park is one of the major recreational facilities developed by the local authorities to promote the tourism industry in the state. Among the recreational activities in this attractions in Kuantan include jogging, walking, running, camping, and picnicking.

There is also a good food court around the area for your refreshments. The “rojak ayam”, a Malaysian salad with a mix of flavours and textures, is a must-try. Bring along friends and family members to enjoy a picnic there.

7. Esplanade Park (Taman Esplanade)

Esplanade Park is a long-paved walkway near the Kuantan River along Jalan Besar. People come here to enjoy the gentle breeze of the sea while taking in one or two light strolls through their day with perhaps just enough time left over for some people watching. Esplanade Park is great for relaxing with its lush green trees and lit walkway.

It is also popular amongst joggers as this stretch of land has many lamp posts that provide ample light for exercising or fishing. The children have their play area to enjoy swings, slides, and other activities. Adults may take time out from all the hustle-bustle by sitting down on some comfortable benches offered beneath the shade trees overlooking the Mega View Hotel.

8. Batu Hitam Beach (Pantai Batu Hitam)

As the name suggests, Batu Hitam is formed out of fine, white sands and black volcanic rocks even though no mountains are nearby. This beach is located about 10 kilometres from the city centre.

The beach is a great place to take in the natural beauty of nature. The soft sand, clean water and refreshing breeze make this an ideal spot for relaxation with loved ones or friends alike. One can indulge themselves by experimenting at the Batu Hitam batik workshop while still being active enough not to be bored during their trip down south.

As one of the many beautiful attractions in Kuantan, the Batu Hitam beach has something that will suit everyone’s tastes – whether looking forward to beating some exercise into your system after work, grabbing one last swim before summer starts up again tomorrow morning, or picnicking with friends or family while enjoying yourselves in front of the beautiful sunset scenery. Batu Hitam Beach is also a popular spot for kite flying due to the strong winds, and you can easily find people selling kites and bubbles on the beach. For food lovers, rojak ayam and calong noodles are among the various types of food found along the food court.

9. Bukit Pelindung Recreational Forest (Hutan Lipur Bukit Pelindung)

Bukit Pelindung Recreational Forest is open for walking to all hiking enthusiasts. The hike to the forest reserve is more than just a stroll in nature. The variety of tags on display here makes it an educational experience for all who visit, from children to seasoned naturalists learning about trees and plants up close.

Located about 5 kilometres from Kuantan town, a trek to Teluk Cempedak takes about 40 minutes. On weekends, the forests of Bukit Pelindung come alive, with trekkers starting their walk as early as dawn. While many trails and paths wind through this forested landscape, one thing is sure – everyone gets their fill of fresh air.

In this green haven for nature lovers, the famous night hiking is also gaining popularity among Kuantan folk. The forested areas surrounding this pristine preserve are genuinely awe-inspiring – so taking photographs of nature while travelling through these picturesque areas is a must. The hike is perhaps one of this city’s most challenging attractions in Kuantan. While the average hiker can complete this trek, beginners would undoubtedly struggle since the hiking trail is a 30–45-degree slope tarmac road.

10. Rainbow Waterfall

Malaysia is blessed with an abundance of waterfalls, but there is nothing quite like this Rainbow waterfall. On a particular time of the day, you will be able to see a rainbow formed across the cascading waterfall. This magical sight is something you have to witness for yourself.

11. Bukit Panorama

Panorama Hill is another hiking spot which promises a magical above-the-cloud kind of experience. To catch the sunrise, you can start hiking at around 5am. The hike is not too strenuous as there are cemented steps with a hand-rails in between. Even so, it is advisable to bring a torchlight, mosquito repellant and a windbreaker as it might be cold and chilly.

While most tourists head to Cameron Highlands and Genting Highlands in Pahang, this city is Malaysia’s best-kept secret. It is a peaceful and restful getaway from the bustle of the metropolis – perhaps this is why locals adore it so much. The many natural attractions in Kuantan, such as the pristine beaches, lush hills, and other natural marvels, will ensure that your trip here is worthwhile.

Most travelers pause briefly in Pahang's capital and Malaysia's second-biggest port to break up longish bus trips. This is a shame; while the city isn’t especially geared towards tourism, it is definitely interesting enough to warrant a day or two’s exploration. There's an excellent museum, plenty of great places to eat, decent accommodation choices and the nearby sands of Teluk Chempedak with upmarket resort accommodation and beach views. The vast mosque is also a fantastic spectacle when illuminated at night, the padang is huge and refreshingly cool in the morning and at late afternoon, while food markets set up nearby towards evening.

9 Hidden Gems In Kuantan You Need To Head To Before Everyone Else Does

Shahida Ab Rahman  •  Aug 14, 2020

For some reason, most of us tend to undervalue the charms of Malaysia’s east coast towns, particularly Kuantan. With attractions like magnificent landscapes, beautiful beaches and stunning nature trails, Kuantan offers a rejuvenating escapade for those who wish to take a break from the busy city. Let us help you uncover this peaceful seaside town’s best-kept secrets.

1. Panorama Hill

Undoubtedly the best-kept secret in Kuantan, Panorama Hill is a stunner that you can’t afford to miss during your visit to this coastal town. A 45-minute hike will take you to the peak where you can admire one of — if not the most beautiful panorama in the whole of Kuantan. If you’re an early riser, you’d want to start your hike before dawn as the view of the sun peeking out from the sea of clouds is an unforgettable one. It’s the perfect place to kickstart your day in Kuantan!

2. Rainbow Waterfall

Nestled deep in a rainforest not far from Panorama Hill, Rainbow Waterfall is another crowd puller in Kuantan’s Sungai Lembing area. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the waterfall, and while it doesn’t sound like an easy feat, the view at the end of the journey will definitely be worth it! The mesmerizing rainbow phenomenon happens after the morning mist clears and as sunshine hits the waterfall, usually between 9am to 10am.

Do note that during monsoon season, the rain would affect the chances to see this rainbow, so plan your trip well!

Entrance fee: RM10 to enter the forest reserve

Malaysian Officials Advocate for a Memorial to Honor the Legacy of Nanami from Jujutsu Kaisen

J ujutsu Kaisen is a super popular anime that’s making waves worldwide, especially after its second season. Some fans are simply grieving the losses in season two, while others are going all out to show their love for the anime.

Recently, fans even gathered at Kuantan beach in Malaysia to honor Nanami Kento’s character. It seems the government is considering something more permanent to celebrate the series.

This week, a tourism official from the Malaysian government revealed exciting plans to boost tourism. Leong Yu Man announced that they’re keen on taking advantage of Kuantan beach’s popularity, especially since it was featured in Jujutsu Kaisen season two.

“Fans of the anime have marked the beach on Google Maps as a memorial to the character Nanami Kento,” Man shared. “We hope the government can get an endorsement from the creator so that the beach becomes a new attraction for anime fans around the world.”

According to the executive, fans have requested that the tourism board in Malaysia create a permanent memorial for Nanami at the beach.

Man said the federal government is now working to contact Jujutsu Kaisen’s creator to approve such a memorial. And honestly, the whole ordeal is pretty crazy.

Jujutsu Kaisen season two, there’s a mention of Kuantan beach thanks to Nanami. During his role in the Shibuya Incident arc, Nanami finds himself seriously injured.

As he struggles across the battlefield, he expresses his wish to visit the beach in Kuantan before he dies. He even daydreams about it before tragically being killed in battle.

Following season two, fans from all over Asia and beyond visited Kuantan beach to understand Nanami’s connection. Now, officials in Malaysia are gearing up to honor Nanami in their own surprising way.
