You must visit Besut County in Malaysia to experience a different island style.

Besut County, located in the northeast of Terengganu, Malaysia, is a quiet and charming place. It has endless beaches, mysterious marine life, ancient buildings, and authentic food that will make you linger. When I first arrived in Besut County, I was deeply attracted by the charming natural scenery. The lush vegetation covers the earth, and the rolling mountains seem to hide countless secrets. Especially Perhentian Island, with its beautiful beaches and clear waters, attracts countless tourists. Here, I not only enjoyed the comfort of the sun and the beach, but also experienced water activities such as diving and snorkeling, and watched beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish up close. In the evening, sitting on the beach to enjoy the sunset and feel the gentle sea breeze is an unforgettable experience. In addition to the natural scenery, the culture of Besut County also fascinates me. The traditional architecture here is unique and shows the characteristics of Malaysia. During my visit to the traditional villages, I learned more about the local people's lifestyle and handicrafts and felt the charm of Malaysia's multiculturalism. In addition, the various cultural activities and festivals in Besut County are also colorful, allowing people to fully experience the local folk customs. Of course, when it comes to Besut County, we have to mention the food here. Malaysian cuisine is known for its sour and spicy taste and bright colors, and the food in Besut County is a fusion of many flavors that make people drool. From Malay specialties to other ethnic cuisines, there is everything. I tasted authentic Malay curry chicken, nasi lemak, and other delicacies, and every dish made me savor it. In addition, the seafood in Besut County is also very fresh, and it is recommended to try the local seafood feast, which is definitely a highlight. During my few days in Besut County, I also experienced the local hot springs. The hot spring water here is of good quality and rich in various minerals, which are beneficial to the skin and health. Soaking in the warm spring water and feeling the relaxation and comfort of the whole body is really the best way to end the trip. Overall, Besut County is a charming place. Whether you want to explore nature, experience culture, or taste food, this place can meet your needs. If you are looking for a unique holiday destination, Besut County is definitely worth a visit.
