Life in Kelantan 4

Forget which museum is this ~

Let's talk about the place of interest in Kelantan after all those eating stuff =p
Basically, there are not much places to visit here, the most famous one would be all the Wat and beaches.

We visited 4 of the famous Wat (Buddhist temple ) here during our stay here.
1. Wat Photivihan (Tumpat)
It is the most famous Buddhist temple in Kelantan . It contains the biggest statue of the
Reclining Buddha in Southeast Asia. The statue - which measures 40 metres long, 11 metres
high and nine metres wide - was completed in 1979.


2. Wat Machimmaram (Tumpat)
The main attraction here is the sitting buddha which is believed to be the second largest in
Southeast Asia- 30 metres high and 47 metres wide

3. Wat Mai Suvankhiri (Tumpat)
This is one of the most beautiful Wat we got to visit. The uniqueness of this temple is it is
placed in a large replication of dragon ship with 2 dragons guiding at the entrance.

4. Wat Phothikyan (Bachok)
This is the Wat that I liked the most among others. There is a 100 foot high standing Buddha
which is just opened to public in June 2009 and a Kuan Yin temple facing the South China sea
nearby.


Besides that, We also visited the "Kampung Kraftangan" where you could search for some souvenirs there. But it might be due to the renovation going on, there is not much to see there and all of us claimed that we entered the museum along mopping the floor using our foots and trousers haha ..( coz it's really very dusty inside =p) It's a regret that we did not able to visit the 'Gelanggang Seni" which there will be some cultural shows from February-September every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

For beaches, I just went to 2 famous beaches , namely Pantai Cahaya Bulan and Pantai Irama. Personally, I would think that Pantai Cahaya Bulan is much cleaner and the sand is softer. But
if you compared those to beaches in Terengganu , I think the latter one is far more better, so nothing much special to describe about the beaches here. Most of the university students like to watch sunrise in the beaches here.

Some of us went to a few waterfalls in Kelantan, all crowded with people, they even brought their own barbecue equipment and roasting all those meats while picnicking...

We even went across the border to terengganu 's to a nearby 'air kolam panas' , but the place is so disappointing haha....
For shopping, you can opt for Rantau panjang or Pengkalan Kubor. If you have time, you can have a look at Pasar Siti Khadijah, variety of things and food selling things, quite nice if you havent been there before .
Visited one of the kite making house, wow...all the wau are damn expensive, the one shown in the picture costs RM500! The smallest one also costs around RM50, just can be 'watched ' without buying =S
