Kuantan, Malaysia

Kuantan, the state capital of Pahang, is fast gaining popularity as a beach resort. The region around Kuantan is also well known for village festivals and for the craft of weaving pandanus leaves into mats, hats and baskets. Woodcarving and batik are also traditional crafts in this part of the country. It's virtually inevitable that you'll pass through the dull, concrete twon of Kuantan at some stage, since it's the region's transport hub, lying at the junction of Routes 2 (which runs across the Peninsula to KL), 3 and 14. Kuantan's one real sight is the stunning Masjid Negeri on Jalan Makhota, boasting an impressive pastel exterior (green for Islam, blue for peace and white for purity).
