We have a day in Kuala Terengganu, beside doing central market shopping and china market, we decided try to take a local bus to Crystal Mosque, C2. But the information at the bus station is not clear, when i asked the C2 bus driver, i want to go the mosque, they told me to take C1. We waited for another 30mins for C1, the bus driver tell us should be C1, and they did not tell us the frequency of the bus. Later than we found out the next bus is 5pm from1.30pm. We decide to take a taxi. The taxi fees one way MYR 20, we decide to try. We spend less than 30mins to tour round the Mosque. The structure is unique that all. We also understand there is nearby Museum, we request the driver to send us there by topping more money. The museum is nothing much too. We paid the driver MYR40 for the all trip.
Opened in 2008, the Islamic Civilization Park (Taman Tamadun Islam) treats visitors to the perfect mix of education and entertainment. Five interactive monuments and 21 replicas of the world’s most iconic Islamic structures pay homage to the influence of this culture and its people all across the globe. From the Al-Hambra Citadel in Spain to the Taj Mahal in India, visitors can take an international tour without leaving Terengganu. The 23-hectares park also includes a beautiful Crystal Mosque, constructed with crystal shine glass and reflective steel panels. Though many of the international replicas are still under construction, visitors say this impressive mosque still makes the park worth a trip.
