Perched on a platform overlooking the bay, the impressive 12-meter tall sculpture looked like it was ready to take off and soar above the skies of Langkawi! Initially, i was hesitant to visit as i felt it was an over-hyped man-made tourist attraction and time could be spent elsewhere. Thankfully, we did as the sculpture is the iconic symbol for Langkawi and best of all, admission was free!
Langkawi island – the mythical island north of Penang, offers plenty to do. On our recent family vacation, we managed to visit historical sites, new tourist spots, fed the Eagles, had delicious seafood dinners; we even made educational visits to places like Laman Padi (rice garden), Buffalo Park, & LASSie animal shelter.
We then headed back up the elevator, and back down the mountain, where we got to exit via the very large gift shop. In future, I don’t think I would be hugely up for the cable car ride again, but I might check out some of the other attractions and update this.
One of the top attractions in Langkawi is Mahsuri's Tomb (Makam Mahsuri). I never thought that her graveyard has become like a museum and surrounded by all the buildings. The entrance ticket for an adult was RM12. It was pricey for me. What do you think?
