📍 **Kuantan Cherating|Unforgettable Night Visit to Sea Turtles 🐢🌙**

This time when we came to Cherating, we stayed in a chalet near the sea. We originally just wanted to relax, but we didn’t expect to encounter an unforgettable "surprise"! 🌙 **The surprise of the homestay owner knocking on the door in the middle of the night** Just when we were about to fall asleep, the homestay owner suddenly knocked on the door and whispered: "Come on, the turtle has come ashore!" We quickly put on our coats, stepped on the moonlight on the beach, and saw a big turtle crawling slowly on the beach, digging holes, and laying eggs... The most amazing thing is that we also held the newly laid turtle eggs in our own hands (of course with the permission of the conservationist), and that moment was really touching! 🐢 **There were no tourists watching at all, only a few of us, quietly accompanying the turtle to complete its task. ** This experience is absolutely not felt by joining an ordinary tour group. 🏡 **Accommodation recommendation** The chalet we stayed in was close to the sea, simple and clean. The owner was very enthusiastic and passionate about local ecological protection. He said this was "the moment closest to nature." 📸 **Tips:** * You need some luck to see turtles. It is also recommended to choose a homestay near the sea and ask the owner more! * Follow the rules when taking photos. Do not use lights, do not get close, and do not disturb turtles. #Malaysia Attractions #MalaysiaTravel
