Chinatown Kuala Terengganu is first established by the Chinese community in the late 19th century . It was once a hub for commercial activities the help shaped Kuala Terengganu into what it is today . The Chinese built the traditionally designed shop houses according to their place of origin in Mainland China . The buildings have been declarared a heritage site by the United Nation 's under its World Monument Watch Programme to ensure beautification and preservation of this pre - colonial heritage significant
The Chinese have been living harmoniously with the majority Malays in the state . They blend with the local culture and heritage speak fluent local dialect and share the likings of traditional delicacies while training retaining their identity . Souvenir shops , restaurant , electronic and grocery shops lined the colourful buildings . It is also home to two grand temple or toapekongs , the Ho Ann Kiong and the Tien Hou Kong .
Visits to Kampung China are a must when you are in Kuala Terengganu . Try spending time walking along the streets . Feel the atmosphere , the distant chatter that fills the air with pugent smell of spices and appreciates the colourful and eclectic architecture with each motif articulates the houseowner ' s hopes for longevity , abundance , good luck and offspring .
