Escape from the city
Embark on a journey
Take me across the sea
And reach Pulau Langkawi
Then Langkawi is my second favourite because of it's completeness
Natural beauty
Man-made marvels
Green mountains
Blue sea
White sandy beaches (and even a black one)
It's almost the complete package
Minus the presence of special food
They don't call Langkawi the Jewel of Kedah for no reason
This is my second time there
First trip there with friends
Previous trip was with family 7 years ago
My footsteps all around the island
Recorded in pictures
Oriental Village and Cable Car
Designed like a big garden compound
With shops, cafes, ponds, bridges, as well as animal farms
And scenic mountains as the backdrop of the whole place
Mountains whose peak could be reached by a cable car from the village
But I don't like the idea of cable cars
Not even the ones in Genting Highlands
So I did not went up
Instead I look up the mountains from below
It's beautiful
Rate: 4 / 5
Seven Wells Waterfall (Air Terjun Telaga Tujuh)
On one side you have a waterfall
On the other side you have a great view of the faraway mountains and even the sea
The only downside of this place
Is that to reach here
You have to hike quite a distance of stairs
Which in turn are pretty steep and energy draining
But in return
You get what I wrote in the first 2 sentence
Rate: 4 / 5
Telaga Habour Park
A man made marina
The spot of many private yachts
Had lunch at the nearby Petronas' KFC
Perhaps the best KFC in Malaysia in terms of view
Rate: 3 / 5
Cenang Beach (Pantai Cenang)
The Batu Ferringhi of Langkawi
A beach full of tourist and beach activities
Perhaps not the most beautiful beach on the island
But certainly the most crowded
You could be in for a shopping spree at the shops by the road along the beach too
Rate: 4 / 5
Kilim Geoforest Park
A park which we did not enter
Because it involves a boat journey
In which we weren't prepare for
This is the jetty
On a river that leads out to the sea
Rate: Unknown
Air Hangat Hot Springs
Quite a big letdown
It seems like the place were closed down for maintenance
Or abandoned completely
The hot springs is small
And the water ain't hot
7 years ago when I went there
It was much better
And understandably the place was much more crowded then
Rate: 2 / 5
Tanjung Rhu Beach
To me
A beach is not just about sand and sea
It's also about the view
The trees
The faraway islands
And so
This is my favourite beach
The above pictures says it all
Mountains and seas
Look further from the beach
You could also see an island which is part of Thailand
Had Nasi Goreng Kampung as lunch in a wooden shed under the palm trees by the beach here
What a nice atmosphere
Rate: 5 / 5
Black Sand Beach
Legend has it all
But science still couldn't fully explain
If it wasn't for the black sand
This beach would just be like any other beach
Rate: 4 / 5
Temurun Waterfall (Air Terjun Temurun)
A fascinating 30 meter waterfall
The tallest waterfall in Langkawi
The amount of of waterflow is highest in September to October
We came at the right time
And this time around we don't have to hike till we sigh (refering to Seven Wells)
As it's just by the roadside
The water is freezing cold by my standards
I did not swim in the waterfall pool
But that didn't stop me from enjoying the splash of the waterfall
This is the best waterfall I've ever been to
And the 3rd picture here is the best picture I've ever taken
Rate: 5 / 5
Underwater World Langkawi
I know it
You know it
We all know it
A place where you find all those familiar and unfamiliar fishes and sea creatures
The penguinarium was a sight to behold
A place worth going for first timers
But not so much for second timers and so on
Rate: 4 / 5
There you go
Those are the places that mark my Langkawi trip
Isn't it ironic that the 2 places that got my highest rating
Is also relatively not as famous as other places on the list?
Maybe like what some said
The unknown is always better?
Anyway
Had a great trip
And even more so
Spend a great time with my dear ^^v
