Langkawi is made up of a fasinating group of island located
on the north-western part of Peninsular Malaysia and is
easily accessible via daily flights from Singapore to the
island.
Apart
from the beautiful beaches, there are plenty to see around
the island. One of my favourite attraction in Langkawi is
Pulau Payar Marine Park. Located about 30 kilometres south
of Pulau Langkawi, it has a huge floating platform that
can be reached via ferry or speedboat. An abundance of beautiful
corals,
fishes and various other marine lifes can be found in the
crystal clear water surrounding the platform. Those not
ready to get wet can still catch a glimpse of the underwater
world through glass bottom boats or the underwater viewing
gallery on the platform.
Alternatively, visitors can also visit the Underwater World
located in Pantai Cenang on Pulau Langkawi to view the various
marine lifes in the comfort of an air-conditioned aquarium.
Those looking forward to seeing more wildlifes would want
to visit Pulau Singa Besar, where various animals such as
the monkeys, mousedeers, peacocks and various reptiles can
be seen.
A number of waterfalls can also be located on the island.
Those who simply wants a quiet and relaxing holiday to get
away from the busy city life would probably end up in one
of the few less populated beaches around the island. Afterall,
watching the beautiful setting sun along with the unrelentless
waves is one of the best way to bring those stress away.
Well at least that works for me.
