My trip to langkawi

Have you ever thought of where to travel in Malaysia? The best place would be Langkawi. Langkawi is commonly known as the Jewel of Kedah, is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Adaman Sea. It is a part of the state of Kedah, which is adjacent to the Thai border off the mainland coast of northwestern Malaysia. It also has a rich heritage and many magical attractions.

One can never imagine the joy and excitement when you are at the peak of Mount Mat Cincang (you can get there by cable car at the Oriental Village). I skipped and hopped on the suspension bridge! During my first visit, we waited a couple of hours for the sunset. However, it was such a disappointment as the sky was quite cloudy and even by 6.30pm, the sun was still smiling sweetly and was very much awake.

The Mangrove Swamp Boat ride was another breath-taking activity. The Mangrove Swamp in Langkawi is the second largest in Asia. You could not believe your eyes - witnessing all the long roots wrestling against one another, sprouting up above the sea level, grasping for survival and tourists' attention. As part of the activity, we were ferried to a secluded private beach for a short break. On our way back to the jetty, we were often greeted by the most famous wildlife of Langkawi, the Eagles.


Other interesting things to do in Langkawi include the following:

•  Seven Wells Waterfall (Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls)
•  Go shopping in Kuah Town (Probably to buy a luggage and some sun-dresses)
•  Pray at the Wa Run Temple
•  Island hopping
•  Take lots and lots of pics
•  Catch the sunset on peak of Mount Mat Cincang

Langkawi has a lot of 2 to 3 stars hotels. Be sensible to choose a hotel that is near to the airport. As all of its beautiful beaches are near to the airport. Have Fun.
