Enjoying the Beauty of Langkawi from Panorama Langkawi Skycab

The Petronas Twin Towers are a popular tourist destination for international visitors vacationing in Malaysia. At this location, you can take photos with the backdrop of twin skyscrapers that are about 452 meters or 1,483 feet tall. César Pelli is the architect who designed the building, which has become a symbol of Kuala Lumpur.
However, beyond the Petronas Twin Towers, Malaysia has other equally interesting tourist destinations to offer. One such destination is Panorama Langkawi Skycab—where you can enjoy the beauty of Langkawi Island from a great height. Let’s find out more about Panorama Langkawi Skycab in this article!
About Panorama Langkawi Skycab
As the name suggests, Panorama Langkawi Skycab is a tourist destination in the Langkawi area of Malaysia. It was first opened in 2002 and took one year and six months to build. There, you can witness the beauty of Langkawi from the top of Mount Machinchang. 
To see it, you can ride a gondola with a cable car system. The gondola can accommodate about six passengers with a maximum load of 480 kg. Every day, there are about 35 gondola units in operation, and it takes around 15 minutes to reach the top.
Your journey to enjoy Panorama Langkawi Skycab starts from the base station (station at the lowest point). This station is located at the foot of Mount Machinchang. Then, you proceed to the middle station and finally to the top station (station at the peak point). The distance from the base station to the middle station is about 1.7 km and reaches a height of 650 masl.
Although you can already see the beauty from the middle station, the peak is at a height of 708 meters. From this height, you can see stretches of towering green trees, sharp cliffs, and the charm of the Andaman Sea.
You can also see the Langkawi Sky Bridge directly from the gondola. The Langkawi Sky Bridge is a curved bridge that is 125 meters long. This bridge connects the peaks at a height of 700 masl.
Moreover, you can see the beautiful charm of Langkawi Island along with its surrounding islands. The higher the gondola takes you—to the top—the more you can see the islands in the southern side of Thailand. Very cool, right?
In addition to the scenery, you can also enjoy various attractions in the area, such as Sky Post, Sky Boutique, 3D Art Langkawi, Sky Bistro, Sky Trail, Sky Glide, Sky Bridge, Sky Rex, Sky Dome, and 6D Cinemotion.
