Pahang is the largest state in
Peninsular Malaysia and undoubtedly one of the top eco-destinations. Kuantan is
its capital city, located along the East Coast.
Nearly
two-thirds of Pahang’s 35,000 sq. km land area is covered in dense tropical
rainforest, making it a repository for Malaysia’s natural treasures.
Almost all of
the highland retreats, some beautiful islands and beaches are found in Pahang.
Pahang’s name is
believed to be derived from the ‘mahang’ tree according to a Malay legend.
Other sources attribute it to traders from China who called it ‘Pang-Hang’,
which slowly became Pahang in spelling and pronunciation.
SO NEXT STOP! PAHANG!
