Bukit Puteri is a small hill in the heart of Kuala Terengganu that houses a historic lighthouse and remnants of a fort. The site offers sweeping views of the city, the Terengganu River, and the South China Sea. Visitors can climb the gentle slope to explore the lighthouse, old cannons, and a replica of a royal pavilion. It's a peaceful spot to learn about local history and enjoy a scenic panorama.
