🇲🇾10-Day West Malaysia Road Trip Guide Kuantan ➡️Terengganu | 10天环游西马1️⃣关丹➡️登嘉楼自驾攻略

DAY 1️⃣
✨We started our journey at 8AM and headed towards Kuantan. Make sure to choose Route 3 instead of the highway - the coastal scenery is so much prettier!
About 5 hours later, we arrived in Kuantan and went straight to 📍Restoran Yat Yat Loi(p3) for lunch🍜. After that, we took a short walk around 📍Kuantan Art Street (p4). I used photos from my previous trip here because this round I was mostly busy helping my parents take photos📸

After some sightseeing and photo-taking, we stopped by 📍Kuantan 188 Tower🗼 (p5) before heading to📍1940 Kopitiam (p6) for tea time~☕️

Then it was finally time to check into our hotel 🏨 because we had something very special planned for the evening...

Yes - releasing baby turtles back into the sea! 🐢✨
This deserves a post on its own, honestlv. It's the same 📍Turtle Conservation Centre where I previously shared about watching mother turtles lay eggs. I'll update a detailed guide soon, so stay tuned ~ (You can also scroll back for my turtle egg-laying experience post ..)

✨After releasing the turtles, it was only around 7PM, so if you still have energy, vou can chill at 📍Puteh Beach Bar too~ (p7)

✨DAY 2️⃣
The next morning, we continued our journey towards Terengganu. We grabbed McDonald's 🍔takeaway along the way and had a beachside lunch at 📍Pantai Penunjuk (p8). The beach was super clean, shaded by trees, not too hot, and surprisingly quiet~

After lunch, we visited one of my favourite spots: 📍Pantai Jambu Bongkok @ Nyorpata (p9), a peaceful Malay seaside village. I've posted a video of this place before, so you can scroll back and check it out~~ It's honestly such a beautiful hidden gem.

By the time we arrived in Terengganu, it was already afternoon. After checking in, we went to 📍Terengganu Drawbridge and 📍Crystal Mosque🕌 (p10). These are nice quick photo spots before heading off~

Then it was an early night because Day 3 was island 🏝️

✨DAY 1️⃣
我们早上8点出发前往关丹。记得要选3号公路,不要走高速公路哦~沿途的海岸风景真的美多了!🌊🚗

大约5个小时后抵达关丹,我们直接去了📍Restoran Yat Yat Loi(p3)吃午餐🍜。吃完后到📍Kuantan Art Street(p4)走走拍拍照~这里我用了之前来关丹时拍的照片,因为这次全程都在忙着帮爸妈拍照📸

逛完后,我们经过📍Kuantan 188 Tower🗼(p5)打个卡,再去📍1940 Kopitiam(p6)喝下午茶~☕️

之后终于可以回酒店🏩check in啦,因为晚上还安排了一个非常特别的活动……

没错,就是放生小海龟!🐢✨
这个真的值得单独写一篇攻略!和我之前分享过看海龟妈妈产卵的是同一个📍Turtle Conservation Centre。详细攻略之后会再更新,记得蹲一下~也可以往前翻看我之前的海龟产卵体验哦!

✨放生完小海龟才晚上7点左右,如果还有体力,也可以去📍Puteh Beach Bar(p7)吹吹海风、喝点东西~🌊

✨DAY 2️⃣
第二天早上,我们继续出发前往登嘉楼。途中买了McDonald’s 🍔外带,然后到📍Pantai Penunjuk(p8)来一顿海边午餐~这里的沙滩很干净,还有树荫不会太晒,而且意外地安静,几乎没什么人!

吃完午餐后,我们去了我很喜欢的一个地方:📍Pantai Jambu Bongkok @ Nyorpata(p9)。这里是一座安静的海边马来村庄,我之前也发过这里的视频,感兴趣的话可以往前翻看看~真的是一个很美的小众宝藏地点!

抵达登嘉楼时已经是下午了。办理入住后,我们去了📍Terengganu Drawbridge和📍Crystal Mosque(p10)。这两个地方都很适合快速打卡拍照,拍完就可以撤退啦~

之后就早点回酒店休息,因为DAY 3️⃣要上岛啦!🏝️✨
