Another place worth to visit in Kuala
Terengganu is the State Museum located in Bukit Losong.
Bukit Losong is about 6 km from Kuala
Terengganu. The museum sprawls over 27 ha and is said to be the
largest in Southeast Asia. This huge museum is gardened by the
Terengganu River, therefore it is accessible by road or water and
can be seen from the rooftop of some tall buildings in Kuala
Terengganu city.
Gemia/Kapas Island
Long before the existing of proper sealed
road, Kuala Berang was once playing a very important role in
Terengganu due to the river which was the only means of
communication till the river traffic has diminished with the
construction of road connecting most part of the state. Perhaps
partly due to the function played by the river too, the Terengganu's
famous Inscribed Stone (Batu Bersurat) was stumbled upon in 1887 at
Padang Tara, a village on the bank of Sungai Tara in Kuala Berang.
This inscribed stone was later moved to Bukit Puteri in Kuala
Terengganu then later into Losong Museum. Even so, Kuala Berang
remains its simple life style and culture. This makes Kuala Berang
an anthropology studies area for Islamic researchers.
