The scenery at the top of the mountain is really beautiful, with no sight, looking to the left to the west, you can see Pulau Perhentian, looking to the right to the east of the sunrise.

Biggest reason to go back to Chagar Hutang, Terengganu: zero light pollution. As you lay down on the beach, listening to the turtles crawling up the sand with the wind whistling behind, look up to the night sky and witness a blanket of a trillion stars.
