Kuala Terengganu, city and port, northeastern Peninsular (West) Malaysia, at the mouth of the Terengganu River, on the South China Sea. A sprawling city with wooden houses set on stilts amid trees, it is a collecting centre for the agricultural products of the river’s delta. Its port is engaged in coastwise trade, with extensive road facilities and an airport at Seberang; it is also the residence of the sultan of Terengganu. Oil and gas discoveries offshore were under development at Gunton and 150 miles (240 km) east, at the Tiong field. Its cottage weaving industry (silk sarongs, mats made of screw-pine [daun pandan], and batiks) is well known, and it is a stopover point along the major east coast road. A teachers’ college for health and nutrition is located there. Pop. (2000) 250,528.
