Kuala TerengganuKuala Terengganu is the capital city of the state of Terengganu, Malaysia. It is located about 500 kilometers northeast from the capital, Kuala Lumpur. This coastal city serves as the administrative and business center for the state government and private sector, and also the royal capital of the state. Its main activities include retail and wholesale trade in foodstuffs, cloth and clothing, etc.; fisheries; agriculture; service industries; and tourism, particularly as a jumping-off point for the nearby Perhentian Islands. The town is connected to other towns via a good network of roads and also some ferries that ply the broad expanse of the Terengganu River estuary (kuala is the Malay word for river mouth). On the other side of the Terengganu River, there is a medium-sized airport serving domestic routes.
