Langkawi Information

Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia’s national capital and home to over 7.2 million residents. Langkawi, or “the Jewel of Kedah,” is an archipelago of 99 islands in Malaysia and offers a much slower pace of life, with around 85,000 residents calling the area home.

Comprised of 99 islands (plus 5 more when the tide is low) and surrounded by the ocean, the city boasts beautiful scenery and a variety of outdoor activities. Recommended stops are the Langkawi SkyCab and SkyBridge for a high-rise view of the area or a jet ski tour to get up-close with the beautiful water.

Langkawi supplies about half of Malaysia’s rice and accordingly is known as the “rice bowl of Malaysia.” When it comes time to eat during your travels, rice will be a staple. The ocean also influences the Langkawi diet, with barbecued seafood being extremely popular.

The city’s size means that there is no pressing need for major public transit systems, so locals take private cars or motorbikes to navigate the area. As a visitor, you may wish to walk more to take in more sights, so a natural saltwater Jacuzzi to wind down from a busy day spent on the go might be another item to add to your itinerary.
