The Waterfalls of

Terengganu is always thought of as a State with sandy beaches.
In fact it is a mountainous land with only a narrow strip of beach. Most areas inland are sparsely populated. Many waterfalls are yet to be identified.
Traditional waterfalls and their parks are now being spruced up and very well maintained. They are worth visiting.
