Kuala Dungun, Terengganu

Tanjong Jara Resort, Dungun (31 December, 2006)


Kuala Dungun (GPS: 4.75367, 103.41945) is a coastal town in Terengganu, on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The town is often just called Dungun, although technically Dungun refers to the district in which Kuala Dungun is located.

Dungun was the site of iron mining activities in the pre-war days. The iron mine is located in Bukit Besi in Dungun. After the mine closed down in the 1970's, Dungun reverted to being another sleepy hamlet in Terengganu.

Tanjong Jara Resort, one of the most beautiful five-star resorts on the East Coast, is located some 8 km to the east of Dungun. Phone: 09 845 1100, www.tanjongjararesort.com

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
