Traditional art of Songket Weaving

Songket Weaving is proud legacy of Kelantan and Patani courts. Once strictly reserved for royalty, songket is now used for ceremonial occasion and weddings. Richly woven with gold or silver threads, songket was the product of the region’s early trade with China (which supplied the silk) and India (gold and silver threads).

You may like to visit a songket-weaving factory at Kampung Penambang, about 4 km north of Kota Bharu, en-route to Pantai Cahaya Bulan.

Kite Making Kelantan is the home of giant kites that soar through the air without a care in the world. Kite-flying usually takes place after the harvesting season when farmers have time on their hands to fashion and fly the giant kites. The kites come in an assortment of shapes and designs with interesting names such as wau kucing (cat-kite), wau merak (peacock-kite) and 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.
