Its various handicraft-producing centres make it an almost obligatory stop for many visitors. Batik, silk, brassware and various weaving are just some of the handicrafts that can be found here. The Pusat Budaya Kraf, meanwhile, offers all these handicrafts in a convenient one-stop shop. Miniature models of boats can also be found at some fishing villages. Produced, most of the time, by fishermen's great boat-making skill.
Visitors can also find knick-knacks and trinkets made from sea shells.
Terengganu has retained much of its identity despite the major changes that have swept other parts of the country in recent years. Its relaxed, unhurried lifestyle, where leisure nurtures the arts, have survived with little change. Its old charms remain, offering visitors an experience unlike any other. Although many of the traditonal dances of Terengganu are based on the old animistic form of worship, these beliefs have been discarded with the advert of Islam.
