TourismKuantan's main sightseeing attraction is the beach at Teluk Cempedak. There are also other scenic beaches popular with vacationers in the city's vicinity, such as Batu Hitam, Balok, and Cherating. Near Cherating (Club Med is located here), there is a Turtle Sanctuary. A few kilometers away from Cherating is Pulau Ular (Snake Island). There is a legend connected with this island.
Kuantan is also known to tourists for its waterfalls. The most well-known is the Sungai Pandan Water Fall. Two other waterfalls are the Sungai Berkelah Waterfall and the Jerangkang Waterfall. There are also 3 parks within the city. These are the Gelora Park, Teruntum Mini Zoo and Agriculture Park at Indera Mahkota. A small park located in front of the Hospital is named the Esplanade Park. Here, it is possible to go on a river cruise from the small jetty. The Kuantan area also produces handicrafts and batik. Other tourist attractions include the State Mosque (Masjid Negeri).
A Tin Museum in the former mining town of Sungai Lembing. Sungai Lembing is located about 26 km northwest of Kuantan and used to contain the world's deepest underground tin mines. Just north of the Tin Museum is a "hanging bridge" (jambatan bergantung). Access to this bridge is via a narrow, winding road at the base of the entrance to the Tin Museum. On the Kuantan-Sungai Lembing road at the hamlet of Pancing, there is a limestone mountain which contains a large reclining Buddha in one of its caves (Pancing Cave or Carah Cave).
The main shopping malls in Kuantan include Berjaya Megamall, Kuantan Parade, Kuantan Plaza, Teruntum Complex and Kuantan Square. The first commercial-cum-travel centre in the East Coast of Malaysia, Putra Square MSC Kuantan, is currently under construction. This square will have theme street included Malay Town, China Town, Indian Town and also Construction Town. Kuantan also boasts the largest shopping mall in East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, East Coast Mall which opened on 30 April 2008. The anchor tenants in the shopping mall are Parkson, Carrefour, Padini Concept Store and Quicksilver. Further information please click East Coast Mall.
The only 5-star hotel in Kuantan is Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort while the 4-star hotels include Vistana Hotel Kuantan, MS Garden Hotel, Mariana Beach Resort and The Legend Resort. Visitors often prefer the beach resorts. The more popular ones include De Rhu Beach Resort, Cherating Holiday Villa Beach Resort, Swiss-Garden Resort, Impiana Resort, Club Med Cherating, and the Legend Resort.
TransportationBy air - The Kuantan Sultan Ahmad Haji Shah airport. It's the only airport in Pahang State that is controlled by Malaysia Airport Bhd.. Currently, there are two airlines that fly to Kuantan, namely, Malaysia Airline System(MAS) and Firefly. AirAsia is expected to begin flying to Kuantan at 1st June 2008. Currently, the planes from Kuantan only fly to KLIA, Penang Bayan Lepas International Airport and Kuala Terengganu only.
By land - Kuantan is now more accessible by road transportation than before primarily because of the opening of East Coast Expressway that links Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur via Karak and also Gombak. This highway will soon link Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Terengganu. Alternatively, express buses to Kuantan also depart from Kuala Lumpur. Tickets for these buses are available from the Pudu Raya Bus Station in Kuala Lumpur. These buses terminate at the Kuantan Darul Makmur Bus Station.
FoodKuantan is famous for its delicious fish crackers (called keropok in Malay) and salted fish, where the fish are marinated mainly with salt and left out to dry in the sun for days. 'Ikan Bakar' or grilled fish can be purchased at Tanjung Lumpur.
Also very popular and sold by street vendors (especially at the fascinating night markets) are: the various varieties of satay which consists of grilled meat on a stick which is dipped into a peanut sauce & roti canai, a thick chapati-like bread dipped in a unique curry style sauce.
Recommended ethnic Indian dishes include the roti naan and ayam tandoori.
Many types of local food can be found at the Pasar (Market) at the town centre. A variety of Kuala Lipis noodles are available at the corner of the Pasar's entrance.
A good Malay restaurant, Zaman, (breakfast & lunch) is located 6KM from Kuantan on the Kuantan-Gambang expressway. The restaurant is a household name amongst the locals. Its most famous dish is nasi lemak.
Popular among the locals are the beef noodles at Jalan Beserah & handmade noodles "Men Fan Gou" at Jalan Air Putih. Also popular is a dish of pork ribs and rice known as 'Bah Kut Teh'. Purportedly, the best Bah Kut Teh is served at the 'Bah Kut Teh Master' restaurant, located at Jalan Dato' Wong Ah Jang area a stone throw away from Kuantan Parade.
