Visiting Langkawi, Malaysia


Forested hills, white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters greet visitors to tropical Palau Langkawi, the largest of the 99 islands in Langkawi archipelago. Also known as "Legendary Island" thanks to the myths associated with its ancient geological formations, it drifts serenely in the azure Andaman Sea alongside Malaysia. Sample local cuisine at the night markets, hike to dramatic waterfalls or dive into an underwater marine park. Access is available via ferry or flights from Kuala Lumpur.
