my experience at langkawi island



We started the day early on the second day as there were many places to be visited. We first went to Telaga Tujuh but just stopped just for a short while.
A more exciting stop would be the Langkawi Cable Car, for me at least. This time I managed to go up the hill or rather known as Gunung Machinchang. I went here twice before but was not allowed entry for certain technical reasons. The best thing about the ride was the spectacular view that you could see from the gondola or either from the observation deck or the bridge. And we managed to pet the rabbits in the park before we went out from that place. We just bought a small packet of sliced carrots (which cost RM1) to lure the cute furry animals.
hen we went to Padang Matsirat to see whether we can find any burned rice on the ground before stopping for lunch. Right after that, we moved to Galeri Perdana, where the presents received by Tun Dr Mahathir were put on display for the public. I definitely need more time if I have to really feast my eyes on the large collection of things you could never imagine could be presented as gifts.
The trip to Langkawi would not be complete if photo was not taken in front of the eagle monument in Dataran Lang. Then only we went for a shopping spree in Kuah town.

Places to visit in langkawi

This is the biggest town in langkawi. Visitors are usually attracted to this place in the first place because it is considered to be the capital of Langkawi. The airport and jetty are near to this town, and this is perhaps why it is also an immediate attraction to visitors. Having a convenient view of other places from the jetty, it is no wonder that people choose to come here immediately. Certainly, being a town, it is most attractive with its small sites and sounds for visitors to experience. The local way of living can be observed as well here.
