-Langkawi Cable Car
The Cable Car system is the latest tourist attraction for Langkawi and is located at the Oriental Village, a theme shopping centre housed in 30’s individually designed buildings showcasing Malaysian and Oriental architecture.
The attraction located on the southwestern coast of the main island of Langkawi, is just a 30 minutes drive from Kuah town and 15 minutes drive from Langkawi International Airport.
-Under Water World Langkawi
Underwater World Langkawi is one of the largest marine and fresh water aquaria in South East Asia. Since the start of its operation on 26 August 1995, it has become one of the must visit tourist destinations in Langkawi and has attracted a large number of foreign as well as local tourists.
The concept and theme of Underwater World Langkawi are geared towards Knowledge, Education and Entertainment. It is built to raise awareness on the importance of conserving our precious aquatic life forms, thus creating understanding of the deep and inseparable bond between man and nature.
Unique to Underwater World Langkawi is the gigantic 15-meter long walk-through tunnel consisting of 500,000 liter seawater which houses many big fishes and sea creatures including the Giant Green Turtle.
Other attractions include the Freshwater Fish Section, the Seashell Display, the Koi Pond, the Mini Reptilian and Invertebrate Section, the Coral Reef Section and the Poisonous and Venomous Creatures Section.
The 34,701 square foot oceanarium is located adjacent to a shopping centre and the Neptune Caf¨¦. Visitors are thus provided with a one-stop shopping, eating and entertainment package, all of which are available within one area.
A new building (with 60,000 sq. ft built-up area) which displays Tropical Rainforest, Temperate and Sub-Antarctic Ecosystems, and a three-dimensional (3D) theatre with a 200-seating capacity will be opened to the public in early 2005. The Sub-Antarctic Ecosystem Display includes a spectacular ¡°penguinarium¡± with an underwater tunnel for visitors to view swimming penguins.
-Air Hangat
The spot where the hot water thrown by the feuding giants spilled onto the ground turned into a hot spring... as the legend goes! Air hangat or hot water is the name appropriately given to the area which survived to this day. This hot spring has long been revered by folks in Langkawi as a venerable fountain of myriad cures.
-Mahsuri Mausoleum
A white-marble mausolium marks the spot where Mahsuri lies buried. It is situated in a village amidst padi fields. It also bears testimony to the powerful effect Mahsuri had and still has on this island. A village house on stilts, documenting the family history of Mahsuri, as well as displaying lifestyles of 'historical Langkawi', like ancient tools, artifacts and music can be found on the grounds of the mausoleum.
