The East Coast<\/em> of Peninsular Malaysia<\/a> refers to the eastern seaboard of the Malaysian peninsula that faces the South China Sea. Known for its serene landscapes, cultural traditions, and quieter pace, it offers a contrast to the bustling West Coast<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The East Coast consists mainly of three states: Kelantan<\/a>, Terengganu<\/a>, and Pahang<\/a>. Its coastline is dotted with tranquil beaches and quaint fishing villages, while the interiors boast lush forests and rolling hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The East Coast has retained much of its traditional Malay culture, with some areas still practicing age-old customs and crafts. Historically, these states had strong sultanates and resisted foreign colonization longer than their western counterparts. Sultanates like Kelantan had trading relationships extending to Siam (Thailand) and beyond. Over time, influences from the broader Malay Archipelago, especially Indonesia, have merged with local customs, giving the region its unique cultural identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A visit to the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia offers travelers a deep dive into traditional Malay culture, breathtaking natural beauty, and an escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Name The East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia refers to the eastern seaboard of the Malaysian peninsula that faces the South China Sea.
