One interesting 'must visit'
place for tourists in Kelantan is the Gelanggang Seni
(Cultural Centre) which is located along Jalan Sultan
Mahmud (opposite Hotel Perdana). This place of interest
display Kelantan's cultural heritage whereby visitors
will be introduced to traditional cultural dances and
dance-dramas, kite flying competitions, top spinning and
wayang kulit (shadow puppetry) since Kelantan is a
centre for Malay culture, crafts and religion.
The best time to visit
Gelanggang Seni would be during the evening since
performances of wayang kulit and cultural dances such as
Main Puteri can be seen at these times which also
feature Kelantan's famous musical instruments such as
the large drums called Rebana Ubi. Other attractions
include the gasing (giant top) competitions and the
displays of the colorful wau (giant kites).
