The Terengganu that you don't usually see

Описание: In this video we explored the Terengganu that people don't usually get to see, but first we started the day in Kuala Terengganu having breakfast at Terradala (http://www.terradala.com/) museum cafe.
Our first stop of the day was Jambu Bongkok fishing village (near Marang), a place that is commonly used for movies and dramas sets for it's scenic surroundings.
After that we went to melaleuca forest, people here in Malaysia use the wood from the trees to build fences or small pieces of indoor furniture and it's bark is used to seal the gaps between the wood planks on the traditional boats (see this video -    • Learning Ancient Boat Building Technique T...   Learning Ancient Boat Building Technique).
The next spot was Kuala Abang beach, a very popular spot amongst the locals in the evenings.
Turtle stone was also part of our tour, Batu Penyu (Turtle Stone) is located in Bukit Che Hawa, Rantau Abang and the legend says that one day a playful turtle went up the hill but lost it's way and was unable to return and turned into stone, people believe that if the stone is destroyed or disturbed leatherback turtles won't return to the beach located just down the hill to lay eggs, the stone was been in fact disturbed over the years and leatherback turtles are now a extremely rare sight.
Last but not least spot of the day was to Kampung Batu Puteh to visit a coconut farm and learn how gula melaka is made, gula melaka is a type of sugar made from the flower bud of a coconut palm tree, they cut the flower and collect the liquid that comes out from it, this liquid is then cooked for a few hours until it becomes darker and have a gooey consistency.
