A Splashing Fun In Langkawi

The eagle statue sits high at the centre of a massive star-shaped (if seen from the air) concrete platform that juts out to the sea. The square comprises the eagle statue, a high-roofed pavilion where events are held and kiosks selling anything from titbits to souvenirs.
Located about 400 metres from the Kuah Jetty Complex, the Legends Park visually depicts Langkawi's mythical and legendary heritage, which is at the core of the island's many attractions.
The crystals were beautiful, delicate and cost a bomb! A simple bowl cost RM280 while the more
intricately designed can reach thousand of ringgits!
On the way to Kuah, we noticed a large bottle of Gamat, the traditional medicine from the sea on the right side of the highway. We made a u-turn and stopped at the large Gamat factory and shop known as Nusantara Maju Enterprise.
The craft complex (white building with blue roof) is a one-stop arts and crafts centre. You can find a lot craftwork items -- from forest-based products, fabrics, ceramics to metal artifacts and beautiful art objects representing the various Malaysian ethnic groups.
The Air Hangat Village is associated with an ancient legend of two feuding families who threw jugs, pots and pans at each other. One of the jugs, filled with boiling water, fell on the ground and immediately a hot spring gushed out of the spot where the village now stands.
It seemed to me that the Mahsuri's tomb was not the centre of attraction at Kota Mahsuri. There were other more interesting things to see besides the legendary tomb.
The path leading to the Burnt Rice site was covered with zink roof and lined by various souvenier shops, selling t-shirts, gamat products and lots of batik!
Pantai Kok was amazing. The beach was clean with pure white sand. And, it was not polluted with debris like Pantai Cenang. In short, it was picture perfect!
We must walk about 800 metres uphill and the road leading to the top was so steep! I imagined myself walking up the steep road and rolling back down like a ball. Ha..ha..ha.!
The cable car moved very fast to the top on a 42 degree incline cable. The ride was smooth but a bit bumpy when passing the intersections, which is normal.
The Oriental Village Langkawi is located around a beautiful lake, set perfectly against a fantastic mountain backdrop.
Laman Padi Langkawi is sort of a padi Hall of Fame, a tribute to the staple diet of almost all of Asia. Here, you can experience a sampling of anything that goes into the cultivation, nurturing and harvesting of rice, or better known as padi in Malay.
I simply love this resort! Once inside, we were amazed by the grandeur of the lobby, and were further excited to stroll along the breezy boardwalk with amazing sceneries.
For RM60, we got a decent room with twin beds, fan, aircond (though not really functioned), television and a simple toilet with cold shower. Towels and a small soap was provided.
On the afternoon of the first day, we hungrily searched for a restaurant after visiting the Underwater World.
I woke up in the morning of the second day at 6.30am. Mosquito bites were all over my hands and legs -- which were exposed during my restless night.
The adorable little Rockhopper penguins were brought in from Nightingale island, some 2,000km west of South Africa. Believe it or not, the penguin costed RM26,700 each, excluding insurance and shipping charges!
From a distance, under the casuarina trees near AB Motel.... the Cenang beach looked so white and pretty.
I booked the AirAsia flight ticket to Langkawi a few months ago, during the 1,000,000 free seats promotion. Guess,
I was among the lucky few that managed to beat the AirAsia server menace.
Have you visited the Ibrahim Hussein Museum Langkawi? It is the white building on top of a hill near Pantai Pasir Tengkorak just on the way to Datai Bay.
Langkawi is blessed with tropical climate all year-round, which is conducive to the healthy growth
of myriad species of fruits. This fertile island nurtures at least 370 species of native fruits!
Laman Padi Langkawi is a tribute to the staple diet of almost all of Asia. It's a sort of a padi Hall of Fame!
Padi is a Malay word for "rice".
Langkawi Wildlife Park was formerly known as the Langkawi Bird Park. It features more than 2,500 birds from 150 exotic birds species.
Langkawi has one of the best horseback riding trails in the world but not many people are aware of that.
There are a lot of well-kept mosques or masjid in Langkawi, available at strategic locations for your prayers convenience.
My best buddie and I went to Langkawi in Oct 2004. We had so much fun.... The island has lots of sun, sand and sea.
We manage to cover a few must-see places during the short trip (2 days only - wish it could be longer!)
