Bot Penambang – Water Taxi – It is an important mode of
transportation of local community that
lives on the
other side of
the river and
it also plies between dotted islands in the estuary
of Terengganu River. Made from hard wood and by famous local boat builders, the
design has not changed over the years. The
completion of the
Terengganu Bridge means accessibility to the
local communities and
many can afford
to buy their
own means of transportation nowadays, the islanders
still thinks it is the best way to beat traffic jams. Leave their cars near the
jetty, pay a small fare you can make a trip
across. Tourists make a trip
to Seberang Takir,
a sleepy fishing
village just to observe
the slow-paced way
of life. Watch
the process of
making sliced keropok, dried fishes and squids or visit few batik
cottage industries, all within walking distance.
