Langkawi Cable Car Part 1

Langkawi Island Cable Car Ride

Langkawi Cable Car is located at the Mount of Machincang in Langkawi. To take a ride on the cable car: First, you have to go to a place at the foot of the mountain, named Oriental Village. Oriental Village is a themed shopping centre, which had been developed to promote traditional Malaysian and Oriental architectures. Then you can buy the cablecar's ticket at the Base Station located in the Oriental Village area.

Driving from Kuah Town to the Oriental Village will take you about 30 minutes while it just takes 15 minutes if you come from Langkawi International Airport.

The cable car stretched over 2.2 kilometres up to the highest point of Mount of Machinchang. During the ride, you will see the breath taking view of Langkawi Island's surroundings. And when you arrived at the Cablecar's Top Station, you can even see some part of the southern Thailand's islands.

Here are some of the pictures taken there:

This was taken while I'm in the Langkawi Cable Car's gondola, on the way up to the Machincang mountain. See, how beautiful the scenery is.

One of the mammoth pillars that supports the cable car's cable. I wonder how they construct these pillars since it is very steep.

There you go, a panoramic view of Langkawi Island surroundings. You can see Chenang Beach and Kuah Town from the Top Station. Not to forget, the islands in Thailand too.

See if you can find the gondolas at the bottom right. These cable car ride, is definitely not suitable for people who are afraid of height :) and sometimes, when the wind blows so hard, the gondolas will swing a bit.

You can see the Base Station from here. See the tiny red roof down there? That is the Base Station. Over 2 km down to be exact.

The best part of Langkawi Cable Car attractions, the "Hanging Platform". You can walk on the platform and feel the cool breeze blows even in the hot shiny hour of the day.

This is the view from the Top Station, overlooking the Middle Station. The base station is far right of the picture.
