Station 1 : Dataran Shahbandar









Dataran Shahbandar is situated at the riverside of "Sungai Terengganu" and the first station of "Bas Bandar". During the old days, this place was a park where a lots of families used to come for a walk or lovers come for dates. However, it lost its popularity during the 90's. At the end, the government transforms this park into a event field where the citizen can gather. A lots of important events had been held such as the Merdeka Day celebration, Monsson Cup Lauching and Announcement of town's elevation to a city just to name a few. This is also a place where the public can watch the annually Monsoon Cup Competition instead of going to Pulau Duyung.







Within walking distance from Dataran Shahbandar, there are some interesting place that worth visiting such as the "Medan Maziah", "Istana Maziah", "Bukit Puteri", "Pasar Payang" and the "Heritage Bazaar" (opening soon).
