Although Jeram Lenang (also written Jeram Linang) is a relatively short waterfall, many visitors are drawn to its cooling waters on weekends and public holidays. Cascading from a height of only 12m, Jeram Lenang is much favored by the locals.

Location Map of New Pacific Hotel
Kelantan's Central Market is a riot of color. It is one of the most vibrant sites in the country where traders display brilliantly colored fresh garden produce.It is mainly dominated and ruled by the womenfolk. It may surprise you that a majority of stalls are run by women. From the early hours of the morning till sundown, these market queens sit across-legged upon their raised wooden platforms, guarding their merchandise.
Perhaps this is a throwback to the fact that Kelantan was once ruled by a princess, Cik Siti Wan Kembang, a female sovereign. Kelantanese women remain fiercely entrepreneurial and have been known to be hard bargainers.
The sights, sounds, and colours are uniquely Kelantanese--women traders display garden produce, food stands grill delectable barbecued chicken and craftsmen offer traditional wares like Kelantanese silver rose bowls.
All around the square, or rather octagon, the energy is electric, effervescent colors swirl, as the fruits and vegetables blush in brilliant hues of bright yellow, deep burgundy, rich mauve, strating scarlet, clam olive and stunning lime green.
Baskets dance in the crowd, weaving through the throng of sarong clad women with spinach kissed snadals, filling with fresh turnips, cabbages, tomatoes and chilies.
The queens dip their merchandise in refreshing bowls of water whilst others wave about their contraption of plastic bag attached to lidi stick, keeping away bugs Piquant scents waft on the moist air, a mixture of tangy spices, sweet meat floss, chewy 'dodol', a traditional glutinous rice flour cake made with palm sugar, coconut milk and pandan leaves, as well as the luscious fried fish paste snack 'keropok lekor'.
A paradise for browsing and shopping, this market offers a myriad of local handicraft including batik, leather goods, clothing and household items.
The market is probably the most photographed site in the country and it is especially lively in the mornings.

The most popular Buddhist temple in Kelantan would be the Wat Pothvihan near Cabang Empat, Tumpat which houses the 40m long reclining Buddha (one of the largest of its kind in the world). Normally we called this as Sleeping Buddha Temple. It is larger than the one Sleeping Buddha in Penang and say to be the longest sleeping Buddha in South East Asia.
Kelantan is the home of giant kites that soar through the air with nary a care in the world. Kite-flying usually takes place after the harvest when farmers have time on their hands to fashion and fly these wau.
There are many different types wau kuching (cat kite), wau merak ( peacock kite), wau ikan ( fish kite ), wau bulan (moon kite) to name a few.
Kite-making requires tremendous skill and patience. The art is usually handed down from father to son. Along the road to Pantai Cahaya Bulan, there are many such establishments producing these gaily-decorated kites. These establishments can be reached by boarding Bus No. 10 in front of the New Central Market.
