It’s not a bridge to the sky, but it’s not far from the idea. The Langkawi Sky Bridge is one of the most popular attractions in Langkawi. Sky Bridge is a 125 meters curved pedestrian cable-stayed bridge, located at the peak of Gunung Mat Chinchang mountain, on Pulau Langkawi, an island in the Langkawi archipelago in Kedah, Malaysia. The bridge is suspended from a 82 meter high single pylon and hangs at about 100 meter above ground. The curving bridge deck allows visitors an intimate experience of the forest canopy and wildlife. It swings out over the landscape to give visitors a unique spatial experience and spectacular views.

The Batu Caves are located thirteen kilometers north of the capital city Kuala Lumpur. Caves are one of the most important Hindu religious sites outside of India. Every year hundreds of thousands of Hindu devotees come to climb the grueling 272 steps up to the caverns. The main Batu Cave is known as the Temple Cave or Cathedral Cave. The cave serves as a Hindu Temple devoted to Lord Muragan whose 42 meter high gold statue stands guard outside.
