Langkawi - The Jewel Of Kedah

The name Langkawi is a combination of "Lang" and "Kawi". "Lang" comes from the Malay word helang which means eagle. In the past, the land was a home to innumerable eagles. "Kawi" is Sanskrit for marble, which is found in excess in this part of Malaysia. Both words are joined to form the word "Helangkawi" which ultimately became Langkawi.

Langkawi Cable Car

The Oriental Village in the upper northwest of Langkawi Island, near Pantai Kok, is the entrance for the cable-car ride, which takes visitors all the way up to Mount Mat Cincang, Langkawi’s second highest peak. Entering the village and passing through the pleasant oriental garden and souvenir shops, visitors make their payment at a counter before stepping onto an escalator which brings them to the cable-car pedestal.

Pulau Dayang Bunting (Lake Of The Pregnant Maiden )


Pulau Dayang Bunting (Island of the Pregnant Lady) is famed for a legend about a celestial princess disheartened after the death of her first child. As if to confirm the legend, the shape of one side of the island resembles a reclining pregnant woman. Nestled in the verdant valley is Tasik Dayang Bunting, Langkawi's largest lake. A good way to see this island and also Pulau Beras Basah and Pulau Singa Besar is with an "island hopping" boat tour. Board at Pantai Marble or Pantai Cenang.

Beras Terbakar - Field Of Burn Rice

The Field Of Burn Rice is situated in the compound of a house belonging to Ku Halim B. Ku Hassan , Kampung Raja Mukim Padang Matsirat 17 km from Kuah Town.
When a battle broke up between Siam and Langkawi at Panchur Straits , Datuk Kemboja as a Chief of Langkawi army felt that they might fall into the enemy’s hand. Immediately , he sent a messenger to Padang Matsirat to get all the kampung folks to collect all their padi harvests to a place and burn them.
The kampung folks dug a big hole on the ground and put all the collected padi into it. This was done so that the Siamese would not be able to get hold of the padi which would be their main source of supply to get of foothold on Langkawi Island.
From this incident until now, there are still traces of burnt rice which can be clearly seen from Ku Halim Ku Hassan’s house.
