"Serene and delightful"

That is the best word to describe Teluk Cempedak as one of the beach that people must come and have a visit when in Kuantan. It is located 5 kilometres east from the town centre in Kuantan and is situated in close to the Royal Pahang Golf Club. People are mostly will fall in love with the white sandy of the beach and the beautiful casuarinas of pine trees line the coast. Along the beach, we can also see some rocky headline facing an eternal waves of the South China Sea with a breeze that you will never forget the feel of it even when you are going back to your place. All of those characteristic combined to make the beach serene and at the same time delightful.

The boats of the fishermen at sea can be seen during the day and at night for the visitors. There also a strategic places that easy for the visitor to make a move to the other location in Kuantan because basically the places is near to the Telok Cempedak beach such as Tanjung Api and Beserah. There is only about 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) away on either side of Teluk Chempedak.

Teluk Chempedak is a completely a beach getaway that can get rather busy on weekends as it is the most popular amongst local and vice versa.
As for me, i like to hang out at seaside while having a chat because it let us become peace and calm. this is the place that must i come every week because i am the one who love nature and i love Teluk Cempedak.

Taman Bandar Kuantan

Hi, see you guys again.

Today feel like want to have a walk and jogging because I eat a lot of food yesterday. I need to have an exercise if not I will get chubby. Oh my god, that shouldn’t be happen. NO.

The place that I choose to have a recreation today is Taman Bandar Kuantan. It is a very peaceful place to have a walk or jogged while enjoying the nature. It has a 3 hectares lake with KDN building and mini jetty for a boat ride.

a beautiful scenery of taman bandar kuantan

It is located around Indera Mahkota 5. Basically people well know the placed as Taman Bandar but actually the name of the place is Taman Jubli Perak Sultan Ahmad Shah. It is a recreation places that being a favourite and a focus instead of Taman Gelora. This place is more preferable because the place is strategic compare to Taman Gelora that located along the foreshore of Laut China Selatan while Taman Bandar is only located near to Kuantan City. It only takes 10 minutes to get there by the car from the City.

maps of the location to find

There are also important places that is suitable to call as a landmark too around it such as Stadium Sukan Pahang (SUKPA), university Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM) campus Kuantan, Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN), Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP) and Lembaga Perlesenan dan Pendaftaran Minyak Sawit (PORLA).

Beside the Taman Bandar there is also abandoned wood ball court that is still in a good condition but being abandoned by people around there.

The court nowadays has been replace Petanque side that public can freely enjoy playing Petanque there. The Taman has at least 3 hectare of lake that being surrounding by jogging track with many equipment and facilities for the visitors to enjoy their exercise.

This place being an attraction for a family to bring their family to enjoy jogging and brisk walking. There is also a few event that conducted here by the government that involved teenagers. The reason they conducted the event there because the places is suitable for teenagers, spacious and it also have a lot of parking lot.

So don’t forget to bring your family there and have a nice day. Goodbye 

Tapak Perkelahan Pasir Kubur

Hai readers,

Activity for today that I choose is picnic at picnic site of Pasir Kubur. People around Sungai Lembing are calling this place as Sungai Jin. I don’t know why but they are calling the place with that name. Maybe it just a name that easy for them to called (just an assumption).

The picnic site is located about 40km away from Kuantan City. The Picnic Site is hiding in the forest and it surrounded by tall trees, with peaceful environment and fresh air. So driving is the best option to the there. The road to enter to the place is not that easy because we need to pass a bridge (a car can also pass it) and we need to pass a Malay village. The road is quite small but still comfortable to the users to pass with their car. Although it is comfortable, users still need to be careful and avoid from hit villagers cow and so on. The key is we need a patience to get reach there.

After we arrived, there is no one there because it is still early in the morning and we just use the time to enjoy the beautiful nature scenery there. Here is it.

haii morning, i like you 

enjoying a fresh air

It is really nice to enjoy breathing with a very fresh air while I am enjoying a beautiful scenery of this place. Let’s build a tent because we need a place for changing outfit and so on. For you all information, there is no toilet that I found here. So please if you want to come here. I advised you all to bring a tent. It is safer than changing in the car right.

model of the year

i am a happy kids with my tent

The tent is done. Let’s enjoy the coolness of the water. This river is full of a big and small stone and it quite hard for us to walk there but it is not a reason for us to not enjoy the moment there. This is the place that not many people know because it is not a place that a government of the state trying to promote and commercialize to the world. Maybe it is because this place is too far and not easy to find but there are still a lot of people coming to this place with their family especially in the weekend. I really hope that this place will be well know because I love this place very much. This is the place that I will come for every week.

i will come here again. goodbye
