Langkawi, Malaysia

Langkawi, is a duty-free island and an archipelago of 100 islands located some 30 km off the coast of northwestern Malaysia.
Our tour today (organised by Erin) took us to Cable car and Sky Bridge.

The Langkawi Cable Car, also known as Langkawi SkyCab, is a gondola lift and one of the major attractions in Langkawi Island.
It was opened in 2003.
It provides an aerial link from the Oriental Village at Teluk Burau to the peak of Gunung Machinchang, which is also the location of the Langkawi Sky Bridge. The total length is 2.2 km which takes approximately 15min from the base to the top.
First, we took a cable car to the platform with wonderful view of the area, then there were two options to get to the Sky Bridge: walk over 200 steps or take a funicular. Boris and I took the second option. The rest of our group walked.
The view from the bridge offers areal views of the islands and tropical forest. Very impressive.
We traced our way back to the base and went to a 3D museum. It has over 100 interactive paintings on three floors. All of us had a great time posing and taking pictures.
We then had a tour of the city and stopped at the few landmarks.Read more
