Terengganu Hills

The hills of Terengganu rise behind the eastern coast of the Malay Peninsula. Tropical forests cover the ridges, and rivers descend through their valleys toward the South China Sea. The Dungun, Paka and Terengganu watersheds carry the monsoon rains from the uplands to the coastal plain. These wooded heights form part of the peninsula's mountainous interior, separating the eastern river basins from those farther west.
