Langkawi Cable Car
Also located inside the Oriental Village, the clear bubble shaped
cable car takes the 2.2km ride up the mountainside on a 42 degree
incline. Gunung Macincang at 708 metres offers a spectacular view.
Starting from about sea level, the Cable Car rises from about sea
level to an altitude of over 700 metres. Along the near vertical
lift, tourists are presented with the towering cliff face named
'Matahari Face'.
To fully appreciate the stunning views, a lot has to do with the
prevailing weather conditions, so if it is overcast or raining,
it may be best to wait for a clearer day. There are two viewing
stations and it is possible to get off and rejoin the cable car
at station one. A walking trek from Station one, uphill to Station
two has been carved through the vegetation allowing a refreshing
walk through the forest.
