Bujang Valley
The richest archaeological area in Malaysia, a Hindu-Buddhist complex settled from the 5th to the 14th century between Mount Jerai and the Muda River. Restored temple bases called candi stand in the forest near Merbok, alongside the remains of ancient iron smelting.
-
Cenang Beach
Langkawi's most popular beach, a long strip of pale sand on the island's southwest coast. Cafés, small hotels and water sports line it, and in the evening people gather on the sand to watch the sun go down over the sea.
-
Kilim Karst Geoforest Park
A maze of limestone cliffs, mangrove channels and tidal creeks on Langkawi's northeast coast. Small boats wind through it past bat caves and fish farms, while sea eagles circle overhead.
-
Langkawi Cable Car
A gondola opened in 2003 that rises 2.2 km from the Oriental Village at Teluk Burau to the peak of Gunung Mat Cincang. The ride takes about 15 minutes, climbing steeply over forest and granite to the start of the Sky Bridge.
-
Langkawi Sky Bridge
A curved footbridge 125 metres long, hung from a single pylon 660 metres above sea level near the summit of Gunung Mat Cincang. It is reached by the cable car and a short inclined lift, and looks out over rainforest to the Andaman Sea.
-
Mount Jerai
A 1,217 metre peak rising alone from the rice plains of Kedah, once known to sailors as Kedah Peak. A winding road climbs to the cool summit, which looks out over paddy fields and the Strait of Malacca.
-
Pulau Dayang Bunting
The second largest island of the Langkawi group, its hills said to resemble a pregnant woman lying on her back. A short walk from the jetty leads to the Lake of the Pregnant Maiden, a freshwater lake ringed by limestone and forest.
-
Seven Wells Waterfall
A stream on the slopes of Gunung Mat Cincang that drops through a chain of seven natural pools before falling down the mountainside. A steep stair climbs through the forest to the upper pools, where people swim and slide over the smooth rock.
