Langkawi : Day 4 (Part II)

Taking transport provided back to hotel after our island hop. Very much wanted to go to famous cable car ride at Oriental village but due to the time spend going back hotel and take the car doesn't leave us much time to travel there. Overhead that the driver is sending 2 tourists there and we are overjoyed! Decide to alight there and think of a way back to hotel later! (ps: quite hard to get a taxi there although it's tourist attraction place. Maybe it's a weekday

Finally!!
Langkawi Cable Car is located just north of Telaga Harbour, Pantai Kok, with the entrance within 'ORIENTAL VILLAGE' - a theme shopping centre housing in 30 individually designed buildings showcasing Malaysian and Oriental architecture.


Read online that at times you may need to Q up to 4hrs! Express pass comes to use at this point.. just need to fork out more. =) Lucky us, there's no Q at all!


The journey from the Base Station to Middle Station will cover 1,700 meters in length and upon reaching the Middle Station at an elevation of 650m above sea level, visitors will be able to alight and walk up to the viewing platforms. We are at middle station!




Look at this! Amazing view!




At the Top Station. A short walk up the stairs from the Top Station will take visitors to the two viewing platforms at the top of Gunung Machinchang. A cafe at the Top Station offers refreshments and views with cool breezes, at 700m above sea-level is about 5 degrees Celsius (+/-) cooler than lowlands.








I really wanted to walk on the skybridge, but unfortunately, it was closed for maintenance for long time. Otherwise, it would have been such an amazing experience.


There are two observation decks at the Top Station. One on the right and another on the left. Both offer different views of the island. The view was amazing, fantastic and magnifique, as the French would say. I was speechless to see such lush greenery, coupled with strong winds.






Left at around 6.30pm and we waited for 20mins before we see a cab driving in to drop customer!

Back to hotel to wash up and out for dinner! Totally no idea what to have for dinner and we chanced upon this restaurant selling Indian food. Not a fan of this cuisine but just went along with the rest…






Some games before going back to hotel.

Oasis Bar and Restaurant

838 Jalan Pantai Cenang (next to Sunset Beach Resort)

We drive pass this fruit stall everyday and the first fruit we notice is mangoes. Looks very sweet and juicy and here we come after dinner... Who knows that is made of plastic. (-.-)
In the end we didn't buy any as it's pretty expensive and doesn't look very fresh....


Back to hotel after whole day out! Fun! >
