New visit to Brunei mosque and Danau Tok Uban

Continuing from Kelantan river from the relocated again mosque of Kampung Laut.


Later we visited the Brunei mosque in Rong Chenok.



It has been many years since we visited.



Aside from the mosque, the lake besides, called Danau Tok Uban, never fail to impress...






























Kelantan river from the relocated again mosque of Kampung Laut

 Peace be upon you. On to the fourth day of the East Coast trip.


Sunday afternoon 16 Mac 2025 we went to Kampung Laut to visit this mosque.


Its original location close here had eroded into the Kelantan river. It is then moved to Nilam Puri 20 km away. Just 2-3 years ago it was moved to the present location.


This location is close enough to the original location which has become part of the Kelantan river






Views of the river...







The city of Kota Bahru in view...













The river flows into the South China Sea some 9 km further onwards...

The view point at Batu Kepala Ular

Continuing from The peak of Bukit Marak.


On the way down from the peak of Bukit Marak did we only realised there is this big stone.


It is stated as Batu Kepala Ular (snake head stone).



Climbing up a boulder besides the 'snake head stone'.









This is the best viewing point we found at Bukit Marak...









The peak of Bukit Marak

Continuing from The view point at Batu Gendang.



At the peak of Bukit Marak lies a big stone.

It is stated as the Batu Belah (split stone).




Going behind the stone there is a pathway up.










There, on top of the stone, the highest place at Bukit Marak.








The view point at Batu Gendang

Continuing from Climbing up Bukit Marak.


After some time we came across stones stated as the Batu Gendang (drum rocks)



There is a viewing point.



However I've forgotten is it from up the Batu Gendang or another stone besides.










Climbing up Bukit Marak

Peace be upon you. On to the third day of the East Coast trip.



Saturday afternoon15th March 2025 we went to the hill Bukit Marak.

 


Information about the hill. Its height is 373 feet (113.69 metres) above sea level.



We wanted to climb the hill.







I myself have wanted to climb since more than 10 years ago.







But it is only recently that we found out the climbing trail has been laid out for any casual hiker to take a shot...
