August 16, 2017 Mikaela Didonna

Kedah (Malay pronunciation: [kəˈdɑh]; Jawi: قدح), also known by its honorific Darul Aman or "Abode of Peace", is a state of Malaysia, located in the northwestern part of Peninsular Malaysia. The state covers a total area of over 9,000 km², and it consists of the mainland and Langkawi. The mainland has a relatively flat terrain, which is used to grow rice. Langkawi is an archipelago of islands, most of which are uninhabited. Kedah was called Kadaram (Tamil: கடாரம்; kadāram) by ancient and medieval Tamil people and Syburi (Thai: ไทรบุรี; RTGS: Sai Buri) by the Siamese when it was under their influence.

We decided to go in the late afternoon, wasn’t very hot, not many people so waiting time wasn’t more than 5 min.
Bought the ticket including 3D gallery. Had a very good time. Enjoyed the views.

Langkawi Geopark

Reviewed By Mark C - Melbourne, Australia

the attraction at the top was nice with 360 views of Langkawi and surrounding seas and Islands. however the ticketing process was confusing and the ground level area lack signs on where to go. having said that the 3D museum (which you get as part of the cable car ride) is well worth a visit. our kids had a lot of fun and we took some great pics. the skybridge is certainly an experience and well worth the cable car ride to the top!

We had to be in Alor Setar for a few days for business and we enjoyed our time in Aman Central mall. Husband went to the movie while I was shopping. I fixed my mobile phone screen, found an european style swimming suit, H&M and UniQlu. There are so many sushi and Japanese restaurants to choose from and a well-supplied supermarket at the underground level. There is a laser-tag place, a bowling alley and a huge playground for kids. The food court has a beautiful view of the Alor Setar tower.

Wat Koh Wanararm Langkawi

Reviewed By cherriesfan_9 - Cheltenham, United Kingdom

Sometimes known as the "Lucky Temple", this Buddhist stoupa, school and shrine is everything that you can imagine - colourful, bewildering statues, amazingly well maintained with a vast amount of gold leaf / paint. Overlooking all this is, on the nearby cliff is carved into the solid rock face a likeness some 30 foot high of the Buddha.
Serene, peaceful and quite enchanting, but ultimately quite confusing to those uninitiated.
Well worth a visit and to my mind one of the highlights of Langkawi.

Langkawi Sky Bridge

Reviewed By Canny - Kuala Lumpur

A definite not to be missed rare chance to experience the longest free span and curved bridge in the world balancing from a single pylon with surrounding views of the magnificent Machinchang mountain and afar below, Andaman Sea.
Go as early as 9.30am or 10.00 am to avoid the crowd or long queue including tour groups. Advisable to be well-versed of what type of tickets work best for you prior to arrival making the purchase as I encountered with a ticket staff who was unable to tell me the difference of the ticket combos or what each combo entails either than asking me to choose between Combo A & B. Thank goodness, that day Combo C was unavailable or else I would be in a bigger dilemma.
I paid MYR 55 for Combo B which comprises of SkyCab, SkyDome, SkyTrex, 6D Cinemotion & 3D Art Langkawi. Later I found out the difference between Combo A & B was that the former has the Time Tunnel attraction instead of 6D Cinemotion. I am opine that either than the SkyCab in which took approximately 15 minutes to get to the top whereby it is the only access, and the 3D Art Langkawi DIY at own pace that are worth it, the rest of the attractions were relatively short to truly immense into the rides for proper enjoyment.
It will cost another MYR 5 to get onto the SkyBridge, ticket purchased separately at the top station besides having an option to use the SkyGlide (MYR 10) or the SkyTrail (MYR 5). Despite purchasing the SkyGlide ticket in which was both ways, I decided to use the SkyTrail to get back to the top station just for experience sake._
