Kota Bharu, Administrative center in northern Peninsular Malaysia
Located on the eastern bank of the Kelantan River, Kota Bharu extends across a fertile agricultural region near the border with Thailand.
The Japanese forces initiated their Malayan campaign by capturing Kota Bharu on December 10, 1941, marking a critical point in World War II.
The Siti Khadijah Market stands as a central trading hub where local vendors sell traditional Kelantanese crafts, produce, and regional specialties.
Sultan Ismail Petra Airport connects the city with major Malaysian destinations, while a network of roads links to neighboring regions and Thailand.
The city maintains a population of 568,900 residents and functions as both an agricultural center and an industrial nucleus with facilities in Pengkalan Chepa.
