TRADITIONAL SAMPAN OF TERENGGANU

The traditional sampan of Terengganu that reflects the identity of Terengganu is called Payang and Kolek which are built specially for river cruise tours. The same model was used in Putrajaya's lake cruise tours. The river cruise takes you on scenic tour upriver to Seberang Takir fishing village, the Duyong Island, the event site for Monsoon Cup sailing competition in the World Swedish Match Tour Championship, visit to renowned traditional boat making, dock at the Islamic Civilization Park for a close view of the grandiosity of the new Crystal Mosque - the first in the country and awe struck with replicas of world famous mosque. The river cruise will take you further upriver to the State Museum for an educational heritage visit. Or just sit back and let you boatmen take you on a lazy round trip of the Terengganu River, watching the world goes by.
