Bukit Keluang Sunrise

 Bukit Keluang aka bat's hills is a good location to catch sight of sunrise. A 15-20 minutes hike atop will give a magnificent view of the South China Sea in contrast of bat's hills. There are several trails that accessible to top of the hills.  Find a good spot and wait for the sun to rise.  It's a few kilometers from Kuala Besut jetty and about 10 minutes drive from Tok Bali.

Tips:

shoe : comfortable shoe for hiking
