Abstract

Tambatan DiRaja terletak di Jalan Post Office Lama di pinggir Sungai Kelantan, tidak jauh dari dari Padang Merdeka dan Bank Kerapu. Suatu masa dahulu, sistem perhubungan jalan raya sangat terbatas oleh masyarakat Kelantan, khususnya untuk ke kawasan pedalaman. Di Kota Bharu, Sungai Kelantan merupakan lebuhraya yang terulung ketika itu. Banyak tempat-tempat menambat dan melabuhkan perahu telah diwujudkan di sepanjang Sungai Kelantan oleh rakyat jelata dan bagi tujuan yang sama, Tambatan DiRaja telah dibina, khas bagi kegunaan golongan pemerintah ketika itu. Walaubagaimanapun, ianya dibina tidak dapat dipastikan tetapi diyakini sudah wujud sejak penubuhan Kota Bharu sebagai ibu negeri Kelantan, iaitu lebih 160 tahun dahulu.

Kini kawasan Tambatan DiRaja menjadi tumpuan penduduk Kota Bharu untuk beristirehat sambil menikmati pemandangan pinggiran Sungai Kelantan. Pada musim tengkujuh pula, Tambatan DiRaja sering dijadikan ukuran oleh penduduk Kota Bharu dalam menghadapi banjir. Penduduk setempat akan berkerumun ke sini semata-mata untuk memerhatikan turun naik aras air Sungai Kelantan. Keadaan tersebut menjadikan Tambatan DiRaja satu tarikan yang paling unik dan tersendiri di dalam bandar Kota Bharu.

The Royal Pier is located on Jalan Post Office Lama, not far from Padang Merdeka and Bank Kerapu. In the past, well built roads were very rare and the only reliable mode of communication then, was by sailing through the rivers, connecting communities in Kelantan, allowing many to venture further inland. At one time, the river banks were littered with boat quays and floating jetties. It was during this time that the Royal Pier first came into being, as a special boarding platform for rulers and royalties to get on the royal boats.

At presents, the Royal Pier is one of the town's main attractions, as locals and tourists alike love to frequent the spot to have a good view of the magnificent Kelantan River. During the monsoon season, locals would flock to the site just to observe the swelling river, hoping to accurately tell any incoming flood for the season. This particular practice has made the Royal Pier, as one of the most unique and interesting attractions in the town of Kota Bharu.
