Valentines @ Langkawi Day 3


For the final installment of our wonderful Langkawi trip, we had breakfast once again at the hotel's restaurant. Nothing new, the same as the day before.

After that, we headed North, towards the cable car station. We parked the car at the entrance to Oriental Village, located just beside the cable car station. On the way there, we passed a yacht pier. It was filled with what we guess as private yachts, that was quite something to behold.

Once we reached the station, we claimed our tickets, and off we went, up towards the cable cars. The journey up in the cable car took about approximately 15 to 20 minutes. It was quite breezy and maybe to some, frightening due to the height the cable car was traveling at. From the cable car, we manage to get a good view of the "seven wells", or "telaga tujuh". It's a place where there is suppose to be a cascading waterfall. Initially, we wanted to make it as our next stop, but from where we were, we saw that it was rather dried up.... so we decided to skip it.


Once we reached the top, one could not miss the spectacular view from that location!! It was simply a sight to be awed, the wonderful view of nature everywhere around!! It was just amazing!! And so, it was as though it begged us to camwhore =P

After taking a couple of pictures, we went up to the peak of the station, where it was rather cool and breezy ~ We hanged out there for awhile, enjoying the amazing view of Langkawi Island itself and the blue sea at the opposite direction. It was really something that could not be described in words...

After awhile, we went towards the pedestrian bridge. Warning: it's not for the faint of heart! The bridge itself is of solid build, but when you step on the brige, you notice two things, it actually moves a little due to the amount of people and the cross-winds! And, you can actually see right to the bottom in between each piece of flooring that combines to form the bridge!! For those who are terrified of heights, this is a real testament to your bravery! But to those who dares cross it, it was truly an experience to remember! The view of the bridge itself was spectacular! Being a huge achievement being able to construct this gargantuan man-made structure from scratch. And the view from the bridge itself, was again awesome, being able to oversee the island of Langkawi.



Reluctantly, we made our way back down to the base station. We walked around oriental village a little before heading back to our car, and headed towards our next destination.

The next destination, was also our final for our Langkawi trip: "Tanjung Rhu Beach". It's a recommended beach to go to when you're at Langkawi. The beach itself is facing the open sea, so we could see the horizon, with several islands scattered around. The beach was clean, and wide, with few people around. It was a truly relaxing location. It was the perfect place to end our memorable trip..



All in all, it was a trip that will never be forgotten, both for the magical place, and for the experience it has provided us with. Without a doubt, we will visit Langkawi again, as we left a little part of our hearts there, while we impatiently wait for a chance to visit again.
