        The best attractions in Langkawi make the most of the natural landscapes, expansive parks, and iconic structures that no first-time visitor should skip on their travel itinerary. Langkawi as one of Malaysia’s best-known and most popular beach destinations, the massive island is home to historical attractions, great fare, excellent diving opportunities, exciting nightlife and dirt-cheap shopping. The beauty of the island can be seen in terms of flora and fauna that exist there. Apart from that, there are many places of interest that we can visit when visiting there.

       The famous thing that langkawi provide for the tourist is the Sky Bridge and cable car. 

The Langkawi Sky Bridge is located at the ‘end’ of the Cable Car ride. One of the island’s 

highlights, it is a 410ft-long curved pedestrian bridge above Mount Mat Cinchang. It may 

sound like a lying but it is really true the views from here are simply stunning.

         Located 2,300ft above sea level, the Sky Bridge is easily accessible by the Langkawi Cable Car. The journey to the top starts out at the Oriental Village in the upper northwest of Langkawi Island, near Pantai Kok. When the cable car gets going on it gets a little chill winds flow through the ventilation slits at the top, so the tourist and visitor put on a sweater beforehand. The views on the way to the top of Langkawi’s second-highest peak include those of the Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls and the rainforest. After travelling a few hundred feet, the cable car levels outs and stops at the Sky Bridge, the final station. Near where you disembark, there are dozens of stalls selling souvenirs, toys, snacks and drinks. At the final station we can stop for a while at the place provided while eat snack while enjoyed the beautiful moment up there. View on the sky bridge is really captivating. We can see the beauty of nature and God's creation is so beautiful. At that height we also can feel quite cold wind while enjoying a snack or drink in selling him up there. We can see an ocean and the hole of langkawi’s  island. Those with a fear of heights might be a little afraid of the altitude, but it is a very safe bridge with double steel railings and an enclosed wire mesh. The 1.8m wide bridge has two triangular platforms that act as ‘stops’ where you can admire the view and rest your feet. Local tourists Mohd Hafizuddin said, “The experience is like flying over the sky bridge on the horizon because of its height equal to the depth of the sea. View up there is spectacular and we can see a beautiful view up there”.

       Although it is a hair-raising experience travelling across it, since the cable-stayed bridge actually curves 125m around a single support, it is truly worthwhile. Photo opportunities are plentiful: and the cold winds will no doubt result in lots of cosy group shots. Besides shopping for souvenirs at the stalls near the cable car, there is not much else to do here than to take in the views. Fun fact for Bollywood movie enthusiasts: the last scene of the Hindi blockbuster ‘Don: The Chase Begins Again’ was filmed here.
