Malaysia Travel Guide for Langkawi Vacation - Where to go In Langkawi

Where to? There are lots of attraction that you shouldn't miss in Langkawi. Local people usually symbolize Langkawi with the gigantic Eagle situated at the Jetty Point. A windy place and a perfect place for you to take pictures. I myself have took some photos during my vacation there.

During my Langkawi vacation I also went to the Gunung Mat Cincang. A tourist spot that you should not miss. But why I said that? Of course you should not miss to walk in the cloud. At slightly over 700 meters, it is the second tallest peak in Pulau Langkawi after the 850-meter Gunung Raya. Telling you the truth I was quite nervous during the way up to the peak. The cable car only cost you RM15 for adult and RM10 for child. Perhaps the cheapest cable car fare in the world. I felt like I was on the top of the world when I reach the peak. I will never forget the view up there. You shouldn't miss it. To go there you are advice to take cab from the hotel lobby and ask the hotel staff to arrange it for you.

Next Langkawi Underwater World, this is also one of the famous tourist spot. However I never been there but I recommend you to go there. Why? They have 5000 of marine life and displayed in 100 tanks with different size and I never heard any tourist complaint about the Langkawi Underwater World. Admission is only RM18 for adult and RM10 for child.

Continue your journey to the Galeria Perdana at Kilim. At first I thought it was just ordinary boring gallery. After my friend urge me to spent some time there, I walk in through the front door and I thought I will waste 2 hours of my Langkawi vacation in this boring gallery. But all my thought was wrong. The gallery was full with state gifts and awards presented to the Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Dato' Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and his wife, YAB. Datin Seri Dr. Siti Wasmah bt. Mohd. Ali. I wish I was the prime minister because some of the gift worth thousands or even millions. I don't know how to describe the gift however I am very sure you will not waste your time there. Admission RM3 for adult and RM1 for child

Langkawi is famous with the Mahsuri legend. Let me tells you a short story about Mahsuri. She is a pretty girl that live 200 years ago, she was accused of committing adultery and was sentenced to death. She bled white blood at her execution as a sign of her innocence. Nowadays local people usually come to Makam Mahsuri (Mahsuri's Mausoleum) as a part of their vacation. A perfect place to get information on Langkawi history. Admission RM2 for adult and RM1 for child.
