Taman Tamadun Islam (The Islamic civilisation park) of Terengganu...

Greetings dear readers. I think by now, most Malaysians have heard about the project called Taman Tamadun Islam (the Islamic civilisation park) of Terengganu... So let me present some of the pictures I took when having a look there a month ago. Come! :]


This building which is a monumental gate marked the outer boundaries of the park which is actually situated on an island in the middle of the Terengganu river... But from this road still under construction, you would likely not notice its position on the waters...


Once pass the gate, you could see this replica of the dome of the rock in Jerusalem...

But you are still outside the park... One have to actually circumvent half the park first before arriving at its public entry point...


Still, along the way, you could catch a good glimpse at what's inside...


There, the building which marks the actual entrance to the park...


Outside, one could see this building... I'm not sure what purpose it serves...


Now, a look inside the park... Funny sight though to see some funfair rides inside... I thought this is an Islamic civilisational park!


There's even a carousel and... Hmm... I don't know what you call that thing on the right... Anyway, a replica of Malaysia's very own Masjid Negara or the national mosque could be seen behind...


I don't know what mosque is this supposed to be...


The tower on the left should be a replica of a mosque in Africa or something...


This certainly look Chinese... I think a replica of a mosque in Xian, China...


Hmm... The dome of the rock across a lake or was is it something else?


This one I recognise immediately... The Hassanal Bolkiah mosque in Brunei!


Hmm... From this angle, this building sure looks very big... That is if I don't notice the actual size shown in perspective by the presence of a woman in the right of the picture...


Whatever, I do enjoy looking at the replicas...


And I'm sure most of the visitors enjoyed it too... While it's free that is, hehe! :]


The building which I taught looked almost real-size and life-like from a far... If I remember correctly, a replica of the mosque of Sunan Kudus (a well-known saint) in the island of Java, Indonesia...


And lastly a look at the city of Kuala Terengganu from the park which is situated on the island of Wan Man. That's all! :]
