Days in Langkawi Island, Malaysia

Okay good morning every body, now I would like to tell you about the tourism place in Malaysia that become the favorite place for domestic and international tourist. Actually I went to Langkawi island when I was in mid term break on 2014. At that time I went to Langkawi to got some fresh holiday, to refresh my brain after the study time. Well know I will tell to you my experience in Langkawi.
Langkawi is the one island in Malaysia which located in Melaca straits. As the administrative Langkawi island is belong to Kedah state. Langkawi island from the Kedah is aroud 51 KM. Several kind of transportation that offer if we want to go to Langkawi island, there are two option that you can take to go to langkawi by Airplane or by ferry ship. If we does not have a lot of budget to langkawi we can go by ship but when we have enough money we can go by airplane.

For me I went to Langkawi island by ferry ship, because at that time I studied in UUM and UUM already located in Kedah state, only took 2 hours to Langkawi. Started my journey from UUM I took the taxi until Kuala Perlis port. From UUM to Kuala Perlis took around 45 minutes. Kuala Perlis is the sea port that serve regularly for crossing to Langkawi island. There are ship to langkawi that serve from this port in every hours. Beside from this port, there are another port that serve the cruise to Langkawi, from Kuala Kedah port and Penang port.

When we are arrived in Langkawi, we shocked with the best natural scenery. Blue sea, green island, birds fly around uhhh it's very nice island. From langkawi port we rent car to mobility in Langkawi island. Rent car is better than we take a taxi cause is very cheap and more effective for our holiday cost, we can spend our money to visit the tourism place.

In the first day, we find our hotels in Kuah for do check in. Tips for you that want to holiday in Langkawi, if you don't have a lot of money you can find the cheap hotel around Kuah. Yes, Kuah area not in beach are in Langkawi but is just 10 minutes if we want to beach. But the benefit if we stay in Kuah its near to mall, restaurant and port. After check in, we started our journey in Langkawi island. The first place that visited is the sky cab, cable car Langkawi. The Langkawi sky cab is the one tourism place that always attract tourists comes to Langkawi. This place located in north of Telaga Harbour, Pantai Kok. Langkawi cable car known as the steepest cable car in the world, 42 degrees, and distance over 2.2 KM from the base station to mountain stop stations.  From the top stations we could enjoy the panorama of Langkawi island, we could saw the sea. Then he experience when i was in the top of station the weather is very cold. On the top station also there is the restaurant that provide food if we want lunch on the top. The second place after we enjoyed Langkawi cable car, we went to Pantai Kok to enjoy "rojak". Rojak is delicious food, from fruits  mixed with sauce. The taste is very good, very comfortable when we feel stress we have to eat this food. There is famous rojak seller in Pantai Kok, that is Hafiz Rojak. You may find them if you visited Langkawi. After we enjoy Pantai Kok with rojak we decide to back to our hotel in Kuah.

Second day in Langkawi, we went to Kilim National Geo park to enjoyed geopark and mangrove tour. Kilim National Geo Park is a nature reserve and a collection of geo-sites full of amazing flora & fauna, and stunning geological formations like mammoth limestone rocks, fossils, caves, lagoons, beaches and seascapes. To achieve the Kilim Geopark we have to take a tour through kilim river, during the experience we could enjoyed the mangrove, a lot of flora and fauna could be found along the river. After we take a tour in geo park we went to langkawi under water world. Langkawi under waer world located in Pantai Cenang. Pantai cenang is the famous one beach in Langkawi. A lot of tourist comes to that beach. If we see pantai cenang is like in Kuta in Indonesia.

Third day in Langkawi. It's time to go back but before we go back to Kedah, we visited one mall/shop that very famous. Because in that mall we can buy a lot of chocolate from over the world as a cheap, because there is no tax. The mall name is Haji Ismail group, Haji Ismail is the favorite place for tourist. Beside chocolate in Haji Ismail =, we also can found goods with good brand with cheap price because there is no tax there. Well, the time to back were comes, we went to sea port and Sayonara Langkawi...
