Cultural Learning at Lao Zi Temple
#malaysia
We got to explore the cultural richness of Kuantan's Lao Zi Temple, where intricate wall paintings and sculptures vividly convey the serene teachings of Lao Zi, the Taoism founder. Also immerse ourselves in the essence of kindness, longevity, and symbolism like the revered Guanyin deities and the powerful tiger. We admire the temple's captivating architecture, steeped in traditional Chinese design. The grand entrance is guarded by magnificent stone dragons, setting the tone for a journey into spirituality. The intricately carved roofs, adorned with vibrant dragons and phoenixes, add to the temple's enchanting allure.

Super Great Stay at Shahzan Hotel 🤩
Cannot believe we got a very good deal for the twin room with queen bed at this hotel at Trip.com!
The room was comfortable and clean with a great view of the state mosque from the window. The location was just beside Padang MPK, and in the middle of the city centre so everything was accessible from the hotel.
The carpeted room made it more grand with the cozy bed and bathroom.

Staycation at Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort
Kuantan, located in the state of Pahang in Malaysia, is a popular destination for tourists seeking a peaceful and relaxing holiday. We had a wonderful staycation there.
We booked a beachfront resort, Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort. Kuantan is known for its beautiful beaches, so why not stay at a beachfront resort? My family and I enjoyed the stunning views and relaxed by the beach.
The famous Teluk Cempedak is just next to the hotel. There are plenty of activities to enjoy, such as swimming, surfing, and beach volleyball. We like to take a stroll along the beach and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Don't forget to visit the beautiful beachfront Starbucks.
Local attractions include Kuantan 188 Tower, where you can enjoy the panaromic view of the city and Kuantan River, and also the beautiful Sultan Ahmad Shah State Mosque. It is a must-visit for anyone interested in Islamic architecture. The mosque has a stunning design and is a peaceful place to visit. There are also other must visit attractions such as Dinosaur Encounter Park and Mini Zoo, and Chinese Taosim Temple.
Perhaps many might not know Kuantan is famous for its delicious local food, such as Nasi Dagang, Laksa, Satay and also Chinese cuisine. I had the best curry noodles ever in Kuantan! Make sure to try these dishes at local restaurants or food stalls.

KUANTAN THE SCENIC BEACH
Because of its location right against the South China Sea, it's perhaps no surprise that Kuantan's main call to fame is its beaches. Teluk Cempedak Beach is just minutes from the city center and offers a tree-lined, clean shoreline, while nearby Cherating Beach is home to a turtle sanctuary, as well as a cultural village that produces and sells traditional batik.
The Sungai Pandan Waterfall and Esplanade Park-from which you can take a boat to get a completely different view of the city-are also popular attractions and offer plenty of chances to explore the surroundings and hike or swim.
The Tin Museum, located on the site of a former massive underground tin mine, is a unique attraction worth a visit. Nearby, visitors will also find a hanging rope bridge and the Charah Cave complex (be prepared for an hour-long hike among tropical palm trees to reach the caves), which houses a large reclining Buddha.#yearofrabbit #tripblazers #newyearadventure #couplestrip #tripblazers

Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort
#newyearadventure Fantastic resort at the edge of the beach, with great views no matter which rooms you pick and what time you stay in the year. Good service. Good people.
Rooms are not outstanding, but they are clean and roomy, with a quirky bathroom.
Food and bars are pricey, but at least readily available.
Extra star for the orange juice for everyone at the main lobby.

Mangala Resort & Spa 🪷✨
One of the most soothing resorts. It is perfect for those who want to find peace and quiet. I really like a very impressive environment. It also provides a relaxing resort atmosphere, luxurious comfort and unparalleled hospitality. Each nature-inspired villa is designed in a small-scale area, allowing the surrounding greenery to flourish between each structure. 🍃
Plenty of places you can visit nearby for those who love nature activities. There's bird sanctuary and waterfalls nearby. Its worths to waking up early and go birds spotting since there's so many birds species to be seen around the resort. 👀👣
recommended for people who enjoy nature and rejuventing in peace. 👍🏻✨

Hyatt Regency Kuantan 🌤️🍃
One of the best places to relax and unwind. I particularly love and enjoy our room, which is located at ground floor but not too close to public area (pool/bar). The sound of waves at night is so peaceful. And if you're in luck, you might get to enjoy the view of moon on a clear night sky.✨
We love everything about our recent stay here. Great view from the balcony, and attentive service throughout. The beach is well kept and is perfect for relaxing activities. The resort is quite well maintained, rooms were clean and everything was working fine, all the staff we met were very friendly too and responsive. 😎
It was a great experience and pleasant stay there. We will definitely come back here again. 👍🏻✨

We had a great stay at Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort. The stunning resort is located on the beautiful Teluk Cempedak beachfront. Every morning, I love to take a relaxing stroll on the beach, seeing the boats and listening to the sound of waves. All the staff were so friendly and always had a smile. I also like the delicious breakfast buffet with traditional local kuih muih nicely presented on woven baskets. It brought back my childhood memories. My grandma is Nyonya, and she always made delicious snacks for us. The famous glass ceiling Starbuck is just within 2 minutes walking distance. Great to grab a cup of coffee and have a cozy afternoon. Or had a McDonald ice cream next door. A simple slow-paced life is always my dream holiday.
