Taman Tamadun Islam

During my last return to Terengganu in conjunction with the Chinese New Year holiday, the new Taman Tamadun Islam is opened to public and was officiated by our PM Pak Lah. Located at Pulau Wan Man which is just around 4km from Kuala Terengganu City (now bandaraya...hahah), it is now the latest tourist attraction to the state.

To visit the place was really a challenge to me as banyak kali tak jadi pergi cos too many people going there. Penuh dgn org especially outside Terengganu visitors. At this time during the so called perkampungan Hadhari there, free busses and boat ride were provided from various places inside the city.

Projek yang diilhamkan oleh Perdana Menteri, Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, menempatkan replika bangunan bercirikan seni bina Islam bersejarah yang terkenal sepanjang zaman. Projek tersebut dimajukan Perbadanan Memajukan Iktisad Negeri Terengganu (PMINT) dengan mengandungi 21 replika monumen Islam bersejarah dan sebuah pusat pameran yang memaparkan seni, seni bina dan teknologi Islam.

Selain itu, pusat perkahwinan dalam bentuk Istana Arab juga akan dibangunkan di taman itu manakala daya tarikan utamanya pula ialah sebuah masjid kristal terapung.

Masjid Kristal

Overall, the Masjid Kristal is kinda small. The interior is not as exclusive as the exterior. But I guess it's not going to be a centred place for prayers unless during occasional events on the island itself.

The majority parts at the garden is not yet ready. Mostly are still under construction. Kinda obvious that the opening has something to do with the upcoming election..hehe...

Currently, it is free entrance to go and see all the monuments of the mosque but later on a fee of RM30 will be charged.
