Imagine an idyllic island surrounded by the azure waters of the South China Sea, or a pristine tropical rainforest with rare, exotic plants and towering trees. Imagine invigorating hill resorts or charming coastal villages with fascinating cultural pursuits.
The East Coast Region offers a lovely assemblage of nature and culture and a laidback atmosphere.
There are three states in this region – Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu. Pahang is the largest of the three states, and it is also the largest state in the peninsula. Kelantan and Terengganu beckon with more rural landscapes and pastoral charm. Visitors will notice a distinct difference between the peninsular’s west and east coast. Here, time seems to move at an unhurried pace and the busy city life makes way for a laidback lifestyle. Within this region resides Taman Negara, a 130-million-year-old rainforest. Sun-seekers can delight at the internationally-famed islands of Tioman, Perhentian, Redang and Lang Tengah. Premier highland resorts, such as Genting Highlands and Cameron Highlands are also among the region’s remarkable assets. Filled with unique attractions, the East Coast Region is an oasis of serenity, perfect to unwind and relax in. Be enchanted by the magic of the East Coast Region.
