Located in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia is Kuantan, the capital of Pahang Darul Makmur. The town is on its way to become well-developed, however Kuantan is better known for its fantastic beaches, warm hospitality and friendly people. The best time to make your way down to the town is between June and July where the weather is perfect for those who want to lay under the sun all day long.

As mentioned the beaches are the main attraction of this coastal town and the place to be once you arrived here is Cherating. Visitors from all over the world throng this particular beach and your experience here will be further enhanced by its diverse culture, warm weather and gentle sea breeze.

Eco-tourism is also quite prominent here as you will be able to find quite a number of animal sanctuaries and horticultural parks. Engaging in such activities will definitely provide you with a whole new perspective on conservation for the environment but also an insight into the Malaysian way of life. The locals here speak with a northern accent resembling that of its neighbouring states of Terengganu and Kelantan,  hence its food and cultural elements are also quite similar.

So once you are done exploring the city of Kuala Lumpur and want a more serene atmosphere where you can relax and soak up the sun, head over to Kuantan for the much needed R&R.
