A must place to visit in Langkawi

I would says, Langkawi is a small island, easy to travel by following the map provided.. We rented a MPV and travel the whole Langkawi ourselves, so there's no worries even you dont have a GPS with you. And now, I would like to introduce some nice must go place to you when you are planning to go Pulau Langkawi.


#1. Cenang Beach

The first things you will think of Langkawi forsure is Beach. Cenang Beach is the most famous beach in Pulau Langkawi.. Then followed by Pantai Tengah. We didnt go pantai tengah, But I heard that Pantai Tengah is much more quite than Pantai Cenang, so suit the family. Honestly, I dont really like Pantai Cenang, as thr r more on commercial activities. It is not recommended to swim in the sea as there has jelly fish. But we cannot deny that there are unlimited fun in Pantai Cenang.

Parasailing priced around RM 55 per pax.. Do survey the price around first before hop in because various company thr which offer different price.



Jet-skiing, is pricey. RM90 for 15 minutes.


Banana Boat, priced RM10 per person


However, we get offered a package price of RM55 per pax for Parasailing and banana boat.

Night time, you may shop at Pantai Cenang as the entire beach road is lined with shops and stalls on both sides. These shops sell mostly souvenirs in the form of fashion accessories, beads, handicrafts and merchandise but there are also many convenience stores.





#2. Langkawi Cable Car

The Cable Car system is the latest tourist attraction for Langkawi and is located at the Oriental Village. Nothing much to say about this. You may see nice view from the top, but dont expect for cool wind, bcz it is hot still under the big sun. RM30 per pax for the entrance fee, not really worth it, but do it once a life la. Haha..





#3. Telaga Tujuh/ Seven wells

If you are a waterfall lover, you must visit Seven well. It is so beautiful and clean water. There are two parts of the Waterfalls. The bottom part of the waterfall is nice but there are too many stones, dangerous and hard to play around. The peak of the waterfall is the most beautiful part, I was in love with it. There are a lot of orang putih, haha...Hoever, there are some adventurous trek to reach the peak, take a long climb to the top of the waterfalls. It was tiring, but once arrived at the top, the quaint vista of the landscape is absolutely stunning and actually, it cannot be restricted in words. Thus, to put in succinct terms, Telaga Tujuh is a wonderful place to visit on your trip to Langkawi.

This is the view of the 1st waterfall. You can clearly see the big stones.


So we can only rest and relax.


You will see this on ur way to the peak of the waterfall. Can you imagine how many steps we climbed?


Up to the peak, so called 'Seven well'. Pretty nice waterfall.


Clean water and can easy see through the stones under.



#4. Kuah Town

Kuah Town is Langkawi’s main town, as well as the entry point for ferry from either the mainland or from Penang. The town isn’t really all that big, but you’ll be able to do some shopping over at the Eagle Square (Dataran Lang), the Langkawi Fair or at the various bazaars at the center of Kuah. This is a great place to pick up duty free goods, such as liquor, beer and chocolate.



There are lots of duty free shops around Kuah town. It is strongly advise to do survey before buy the duty free goods as some shops will offer cheaper goods. And, all duty free shops are nearby, which is a 2-3 minutes walking distance. I recommended 'Coco Valley' as their price is quite reasonable and somehow cheaper than other duty free shops.

#5. Helang Square

Dont Forget the trademark of Langkawi Island, the Big Big Helang.


And, take a group picture in front of it to prove that you came Langkawi before.



#5. Hotel rooms

Last but not least, it is a must to buy some beers and liquor to your hotel room and enjoy the duty free goods with lovely friends.


We didnt drink much.. I think is a waste la bcz beer and liquor are the cheapest goods in Langkawi. Drink beer is cheaper than a mineral water, ie, Carlsberg=1500ml mineral water.

Carlsberg Can - Small RM1.60
Hoegaarden Bottle RM3.50
Heineken Bottle RM2.50


Poker card is alwasy paired with beers. Cheers, peeps...




Done!
