Gua Charah (Charah Caves)
The Charah Caves, just outside Kuantan, are a revered Buddhist sanctuary. The caves are used as meditation retreats for Buddhist monks. The highlight is an impressive stone sculpture of the reclining Buddha.

Gua Panching
A limestone cave, housing a huge statue of the reclining Buddha, over 9m tall. Around midday sunlight breaks through the cave and illuminates the statue.

Tasik Chini
The thirteen fresh-water lakes that make up Tasik Chini are similar in legend to Loch Ness. Stories of monsters in the lakes and an ancient Khmer city has attracted archaeologists and ruins have been found on the bottom of the lake. During August and September, the surface of the water is covered in lotus flowers.
