Dengan menaiki kereta kabel akan membawa pengunjung ke puncak gunung kedua tertinggi di Langkawi~Mount Mac Chinchang dimana pemandangan pulau di sekitarnya sangat menakjubkan. Pada hari yang cerah, pengunjung juga dapat melihat bahagian Thailand ke arah utara dan Indonesia ke arah selatan-barat. Masa yang diambil untuk tiba di atas bukit selama 20 minit. Pengunjung dapat menikmati pemandangan flora lereng bukit, air terjun dan sekilas pandang sesekali hidupan liar burung-burung.
[Eng] A cable car ride takes visitors to Langkawi's second highest peak of Mount Mac Chinchang, where the view of the surrounding island is simple spectacular. On clear days, visitors can also see parts of Thailand towards the North and Indonesia towards the South-West. The cable car ride up the hill takes about 20 minutes. Enjoy great views of the hillside flora, waterfall and occasional glimpses of the wildlife and birds. 


[Eng] Complete in 2004, this suspended pedestrian bridge is located at the top of the Mac Chinchang mountain and forms part of the Gunung Mac Chinchang Geo-Eco Tourism Park master plan. Suspended from a record-breaking 82m high single pylon, the curve bridge intersects a dramatic geological chasm up to 100m above ground, swinging out over the landscape to give visitors a unique spatial experience, and to bring them into otherwise unattainable locations, above virgin jungle, with spectacular views. Notably, in contrast to a straight bridge, where the end is always monotonously in sight, a curved bridge offers spectacularly changing perspectives that reinvent themselves, as one proceeds along it.    

[Eng] Measuring 125m in lenght, this structure ranks among the world's longest curved pedestrian bridges and constructing it was no easy feat as the solution had to amalgamate the following critical elements : structural balancing from a single point (top of the pylon), optimal weight management and load distribution, pre-fabrication of bridge and on site installation. The entire bridge, in all its elements, had to be lifted up to the mountain by helicopter, and was subsequently assembled to its position.

3D2N @ Langkawi Island [Part 2]

Hola... hahaha
Baru balik vacation last week. Masih terasa lagi mood nya.. Jom follow my experience sepanjang 3D2N kat sana. Sebelum tu sambungan dari entry EnRouteToKualaPerlis...
  
Sekitar jam 10.45am selamat tiba kat Jeti Kuah selepas lebih kurang sejam perjalanan dengan kenderaan air..
 Finally tiba jugak kat Langkawi ni.... =)
Sampai-sampai je terus ambik van & kunci homestay yang dah di booking awal-awal.
 Ni la rupa van nya, jenis urvan dengan 14 seater. Family members 11 orang je tapi saja booking van 14 seater untuk keselesaan dan ada lebih ruang nak letak barang bila balik nanti. Nama pun Langkawi, tak sah kalau balik takde extra luggage kan. Harga pun memang berpatutan, RM320 je untuk 48 jam.

Sebelah petang menuju ke Perusahaan Gamat Asli Nusantara. Nak cari tempat ni pun senang je, terletak tepi jalan yang sama dengan Hospital Langkawi. Mercu tandanya, ada botol gamat gergasi ni. 

Lautan minyak gamat, ada jugak minyak lain tapi bahan utamanya gamat la. Pilih je mana berkenan tapi jangan lupa bawak bakul ye.

Sebahagian daripada minyak gamat yang dibeli...

Lepas shopping gamat, singgah kat sini pulak.. Tak masuk pun, just snap photos here and there je.

Destinasi terakhir pada hari pertama ----> Cable car

Niat nak naik hari ni, tapi disebabkan cuaca tak berapa nak cantik so pihak pengurusan tutup kawasan jambatan kat atas tu so kitorang decide nak naik hari ahad je sebab matlamat memang nak jalan atas jambatan tu. Just tanya info-infi yang patut aje lah.

Bergambar jap sebelum balik. Mujur ada tripod dapat la semua bergambar sekali... =D

Dari cable car terus menuju ke Pekan Kuah and straight ke sini....
