What to see in Langkawi

1. SkyBridge & téléphérique
   This curved 125-metre walkway hangs around 700 metres up Mount Mat Cincang, with the jungle below and the Andaman Sea and neighbouring islands all around.
2. Plage de Pantai Cenang
   This is the liveliest beach on Langkawi, a long ribbon of pale sand facing the Andaman Sea, with beach shacks and terraces just behind it.
3. Kilim Geoforest Park (mangrove)
   Ancient limestone cliffs rise straight out of a maze of mangrove channels, and you slip between them in a boat just above the waterline.
4. Tanjung Rhu
   Tanjung Rhu is a long stretch of pale sand lined with casuarina trees on the north of the island, far from the bustle of Pantai Cenang.
5. Cascade Telaga Tujuh
   At the foot of the Machinchang massif, this waterfall forms a chain of natural rock pools in the middle of the forest.
6. Eagle Square (Kuah)
   The big eagle sculpture spreads its wings over Kuah bay and sums up the island's name in one glance, often explained by the Malay words "helang" (eagle) and "kawi" (reddish brown).
7. Underwater World
   This aquarium on Pantai Cenang lets you see, in the cool and dry, the kind of marine life you won't always meet at sea around the island.
8. The Cliff
   The restaurant is built out on the headland that divides Pantai Cenang from Pantai Tengah.
