PULAU LANGKAWI CAN GIVE YOU PEACEFUL :)

Langkawi has a lingering legend woven into its history. Ask
anyone on the island about the tragic story of a beautiful young lady named
Mahsuri, and you'll hear a tale of love, jealousy and a curse that was placed
upon the island by her for seven generations. Today, the seventh generation of Langkawi's inhabitants has
long come and gone, but people here still believe that the prosperity and
blessings the islands enjoy today and the passing of the curse is no mere
coincidence. The mysticism of this legend can be felt in many parts of this
island, especially at Makam Mahsuri (Mahsuri's Mausoleum), where Mahsuri is
said to be buried.

Other popular destinations are the Field of Burnt Rice, Hot
Springs, Telaga Tujuh (The Seven Wells) and the Beach of Black Sand. Boat tours
are organised to Tasik Dayang Bunting (Lake of the Pregnant Maiden), Gua Cerita
(Cave of Stories) and Gua Langsir (Curtain Cave). For a more intimate time with nature, go trekking through
the pristine rainforest that covers most of Langkawi, or go on a boat tour of
the mangroves. There are also opportunities to go for a dive, or play a round
of golf at some of the 5-star resorts. Langkawi also has an underwater world,
with an underground tunnel that runs through a giant aquarium, that has received
rave reviews.
