This cache is placed in order to show one of the most famous mosque
in Penang, Tanjung Bungah. It's a nano magnetic cache, outside the
mosque.
Masjid Terapung or Floating Mosque of Tanjung Bungah is a big Malay
mosque built at the bay in Tanjung Bungah. Despite its name, the
mosque is not floating, but rather standing on pilings and stilts.
Nevertheless it is the first mosque to be built in the sea in
Malaysia (other floating mosques in Malaysia have so far been built
on lakes). The Tanjung Bungah Floating Mosque was built at the cost
of 15 million and covers an area of 1295 sq meters. It also has a
towering minarets, the height of a seven-storey building, where the
call of azan can be announced. To ensure no undue congestion along
the narrow Tanjung Bungah main road, a big parking space was also
built for the mosque. It can accommodate up to 250 cars. The mosque
itself has a capacity of 1500 worshippers. The Masjid Terapung
Tanjung Bungah is easily accessible from the Tanjung Bungah main
road. It is located on the opposite side of the road from the Mar
Vista Condominiums. Rapid Penang Buses Nos. 101, 103 and U104 goes
to Tanjung Bungah (U104 may require some walking, as it goes to
Tanjung Bungah village). Check details at the Rapid Penang Bus
Routes.
