Why Setiu

Most visitors fly over the real Terengganu

They land in Kuala Terengganu, take a boat to an island, and leave. They never see the mangrove rivers, the fish farms, the fishermen's jetty, or the kampung where lunch is still cooked the old way.

Setiu is that coast. And because it is a river and village coast, much of it stays open in the monsoon months when the islands close.
