Stop at: Sungai Lembing Mines
Sungai Lembing Town is located northwest of Kuantan, about an hour’s drive away. Once renowned for its tin mines, it was known as the largest underground tin mine in the world. Today, Sungai Lembing has transformed into a charming township. Known as the “cowboy town,” it has been revamped for tourists. Visitors can explore the old market square, Chinese clan houses, and surroundings. A visit to a home bakery, which still uses wood-fired ovens to make buns, coconut biscuits, cakes, and “coffee-croutons,” is a must. Discover this quaint town, observe locals using high hanging bridges to cross the Lembing River during the rainy season, and visit the Tin-Mine Museum, which showcases equipment, tin samples, and a display of the 785-kilometer network of underground tunnels.

Stop at: Lunch at Malay Traditional Food (Original Nasi Kukus)
Nasi kukus, a simple yet delightful meal of steamed rice paired with spiced fried chicken, offers a perfect blend of sweet, savory, and slightly spicy curry. Widely available in Kuantan, the fluffy rice and spiced fried chicken are so delicious that guests may be tempted to have seconds.

Stop at: Sungai Pandan Waterfall & Panching Cave
Also known as Gua Charah, Panching Cave is located 25 kilometers west of Kuantan. It serves as a Buddhist sanctuary, housing a large reclining Buddha statue and other smaller statues. These are situated within the intricate flower chambers, with the largest chamber offering a panoramic view of the surrounding area. As visitors hike up the cave, they will encounter smaller cavities typical of a limestone cave. A natural opening in the cave’s roof allows sunlight to illuminate the Buddha statue at certain times of the day. Afterward, guests can proceed to the Pandan Waterfall for a refreshing dip in the natural pool.
