🏛️ Terengganu’s Royal Walk: Palaces, Bridges & Temples by the Sea 🕌🌉🏮

#summervacay Step into a side of Terengganu where history whispers through white domes, royal gates, and sea breezes. 1️⃣ Start your walk at the elegant Istana Maziah, a golden-trimmed royal palace still used for state ceremonies. Its French-inspired facade is postcard-perfect against blue skies. 👑✨ 2️⃣ Just a few steps away is the majestic Abidin Mosque — also known as the White Mosque. Quiet, luminous, and wrapped in Moorish arches, it’s a peaceful spot to pause. 🕊️ 3️⃣ Cross over to the Terengganu Drawbridge, Southeast Asia’s first drawbridge — futuristic yet poetic, especially at sunset when lights shimmer on the water. 🌉🌅 4️⃣ End your walk at the Tian Hou Temple, a seaside Chinese temple filled with incense, sea wind, and quiet prayers — a symbol of the region’s multicultural soul. 🏮🌊 📍 Best route: Istana Maziah → Abidin Mosque → Drawbridge → Tian Hou Gong 📸 Photo tip: Golden hour at the bridge & wide-angle for the palace 🕰️ Best time: 6–8pm for light, breeze, and layered colors #hiddenterengganu #istanamaziah #abidinmosque #terengganudrawbridge #tianhoutemplekt #seasideheritagewalk #slowtravelmalaysia #royalmeetsspiritual #culturalcrossroadsmy #sunsetinterengganu
