Malaysia is unique because of its diversity of races, religions and cultures, the stability of the country and many places of interests. When holidays come, many of us are trying to search many interesting places in our country. One of the best spot to go is at Pangkor Island.<br><br></div><div>The place that I think very interesting is Pangkor Island, Perak. It was located at the coast of Perak State. This place are well known among tourists. Plus, its also one of the places for parents planning many activities with the family to spend quality time with. Pangkor Island are about 90km from south west lpoh and reachable by ferry from Lumut in only half an hour. Pangkor Island is 8 square km big. Most of the people who live in Pangkor Island are scattered fishing settlements, especially on the eastern coast, and their catch consists mainly of cuttlefish and anchovy. Pangkor is promoted as a budget tourist destination, however it’s still fishing and dried seafood to be the main industry.<br><br></div><div>Pulau Pangkor are consist by two beautiful beaches that were Nipah Beach and Coral Beach. This beaches are very popular among foreigners that was mainly Europeans and Australians. On top of that, with tiny islets nearby that were Giam and Mentagor are surrounded by corals, fish and sea cucumbers..If you want to do watersports like diving, jetski riding, snorkelling and many more they are easily accessible everywhere around the island. Plus, Pangkor has a lot to offer to you such as bird watchers. It were very popular places because many interesting species, amazing hornbills can be easily spotted there.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Other than that, finding food are should not be a problem on an island, although it’s always good to write down few recommended places. One of them is Rock Tiger Resort which is a small hotel hidden in a lush garden, located in the southern part of the island. You can visit if you are keen on trying Traditional Planter’s Curry Tiffin that were prepared by Indian chef Bavanni and served in romantic candle light. Next is Ye Lin Restaurant in Pasir Bogak which is serving probably the best seafood in the vicinity. At there, you might want to book a table in advance because it were always full house.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>In the nutshell, it is a loss if you are not to Pangkor especially for sea lovers. There are many important characteristic of our nation. Malaysia are rich of cultural heritage it would be worth to play a visit here.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Pulau Duyung or the Mermaid Island is a venue for The Moonson Cup (Swedish Match Tour). Both road and sea transport is available, but the best way to jump into a boat at jetty located at the back of Seri Malaysia Hotel and pay RM 0.70 for a 5 minutes boat ride. Terengganu is a famous and attractive tourist destination. Tourist areas in Terengganu consists of nature such as islands and mountains.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Pulau Duyung popular among the local and foreign tourists with its traditional boat making industry. What made the boat making industry very special and well known it also offers a breathtaking view of the sailing world is that, here in Pulau Duyung, they produce wooden sailing boat which is getting less when wood is eventually replaced by fibre glass.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The most intriguing part in Pulau Duyung is about its nature beauty that is the village itself is a typical Malay kampung. Houses randomly distributed among the coconut trees, kampung kids chasing with each other in the bicycle, older villagers have their chat time in the pondok kopi (huts selling coffee), women hanging their washing while taking this golden opportunity to update with each other.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; To the end of the village, is a sandy beach. It has a beautiful long and sandy beach, a popular sport for family outing and picnics, so from travelling we can take opportunity to relax from depressing busy life. Do not expect the sand to be as fine as Redang Island, but standing on the beach, looking back to the house and coconut trees, it is astonished a very pictorial view of the kampong. We were amazed with our natural from Pulau Duyung were so beautiful. It is worth to spend a pleasant afternoon in this little village. When the boat is arriving at the small jetty, you can have a very different glimpse of China Town from the back.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Terengganu has much to offers to its visitors, be it cultural, and spectacular mosque. The mosque built on concrete stilts in a man-made lake that flows into the Ibai River in Kuala Terengganu is a beautiful and modern mosque. The Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque was completed in 1994, commissioned by the late Sultan Mahmud AI Muktafi Billah Shah in memory of his late mother, Tengku Tengah Zaharah, the queen mother. This is due to its unique design which is built on a floating platform, giving a floating feel from far away. The mosque is built on the estuary of Terengganu River by one of the prince in Terengganu state. Combining both modern and Moorish architecture design, the mosque symbolizes the innovation and modernisation in the state. Adjacent to the mosque is a park with a stunning pine trees. We were thrilled when the boat driver takes us on a fast ride towards to the open sea and the ideal time to visit this mosque is in the evening, when the evening sun shines on the mosque, turning the building into golden colour while the cooling breeze blow from the South China sea.<br><br></div>]]></description>
