Heading to Malaysia, first stop, Langkawi
Langkawi's itinerary is very relaxed, basically playing in the water at the hotel, going out to play in the water by boat, speeding along the mountain roads in a small car, and stopping to stroll on the beach to see the sea.
Stay: Chose the Westin with a pool Villa, which proved to be a correct choice.
The hotel scenery is very nice, but the 'beach' after the tide is black mud, not suitable for playing in the water.
When not wanting to go out, spend time in the private pool, snacking, and enjoying the view.
Saw a beautiful sunset and moonrise on Mid-Autumn night, worth the price.
Travel: After getting off the plane, rented a locally produced small car at the airport, the rent is about over a hundred RMB a day, the power is also good; the attractions on the island are scattered, if you want to wander around, renting a car is more convenient.
The price of oil is also very cheap, RM2 per litre, equivalent to 3 RMB per litre, jaw-dropping, specially took a photo to record.
(PS The direction of the car is opposite to that in China, be careful!)
Play: Inevitably participated in the island hopping itinerary.
One is Pregnant Maiden Island - Wet Rice Island - Sea Fishing BBQ, the sea water is not clean, many people chose not to go into the water, but catching some colorful small fish is also fun.
One is the Mangrove tour, very good!
You can choose to take a boat or paddle (if parents are not brought along, would definitely choose to paddle in it).
The waterway in the mangrove is very wide, feeding monkeys along the way, watching eagles, the boat speeding through the mangrove, the boatman occasionally does a dragon tail swing, rushing into the sea all the way, no speed limit is great!
In addition to island hopping, there is an old aquarium on the island, although not big, but also saw cute jellyfish, different styles of puffer fish, and grouper bigger than people, for me who really likes to see marine life, still very satisfied.
Buy: Local chocolate is indeed cheaper than Kuala Lumpur, if you like to eat, you can buy some.
The locals recommended a local specialty sea cucumber oil, said to be good for muscle soreness and skin moisturizing, tried it, woke up and the calf seems to be not so sour, but the taste is very sour and refreshing, emitting a seafood smell all over.
A couple of interesting things:
On the last day, the car had to be returned, so didn't want to add too much oil, went to the gas station to ask how much oil can be added at least, the answer was 10, thinking about if you drive to the gas station in China and say add 10 yuan, you would probably get beaten up, haha!
The monkey king in the mangrove jumped onto our boat to eat bread, was very nervous, because had suffered from the monkeys in Emei Mountain! Asked the guide if the monkey would snatch my things, the guide said Malaysia is a small place, competition is not so intense, animals are very gentle. Thinking about it, it makes sense, it seems to be the same for people.
When going for the island hopping tour, pieces of garbage kept floating on the sea. Asked the guide why not clean up, the guide said can't clean up all, all are blown from Thailand, in a few days the wind direction will change and will blow back to Thailand. Directly saw the state of environmental pollution once, and the world is not separated, everyone needs to take care of it together. Langkawi·Kedah
When you arrive, you have to walk through a small bridge to get to the island, there are many unfriendly monkeys on the bridge. There is a charge to enter the park. A short walk away, you can see the lakeside and the surrounding scenery. If you don’t wear a life jacket, you can’t swim, so bring your own life jacket or rent it for a fee. In short, the trip was not bad. Come here must finish the solar power two-use boat, although it will cost again, but can go around the lake for a week, really comfortable, have the power to slow forward, not very laborious, very interesting.
Pregnant women's island to see the appearance of monkeys, pregnant women's lake unless they want to go swimming, really do not need to go, but also charge a separate MYR 6 ticket. There is a magical pregnant lake on the island, and there is a long-standing legend about the island, that married couples who have no children can get pregnant and have children if they drink the lake or take a bath in the lake.
Pregnant Women's Island is a very beautiful outer island in Langkawi. The whole island is like a pregnant woman lying flat on the sea. The environment of the island is very beautiful. The surrounding sea water is very clear. You can clearly see the reefs and corals on the sea floor. It is definitely a place suitable for vacation and leisure.
great place with nice scenery and fresh water and can go down to the lake to swim
Pregnant Women's Island is a must-see attraction for Langkawi island hopping. It looks like pregnant women are lying there quietly in the shape of the peaks of the pregnant women's island. It takes MYR 6 per person to get on the island. After a mountain road, there is a freshwater lake in the middle, where you can swim or rent a boat. Going up to the top of the mountain overlooking the lake, one side is the fresh water lake and the sea, very good. There are monkeys on the road, it is best not to provoke, or take out food, they will grab food. By the way, it only costs MYR 25 for island hopping to travel in the local ABMOTEL! !
On a small island, the island is called Maternity Island, because there is a fresh water lake in the middle of the island, so it looks like pregnancy from above. The whole island is still quite big. After boarding the boat, we need to walk a mountain road. There are many monkeys on the whole island, and the monkeys will attack people on their own initiative. The lake is swimmable and has kayaks and duck boats. It's cheap, but when we went there it rained and the water was cool. The scenery is very beautiful, the vegetation is very well protected, and most importantly, it's uninhabited. Very quiet. The tour guide said that the lake water had magic power, that is to say, after drinking the water here, it might be pregnant, so it sounded interesting. The whole island, the lake is a large area, the surrounding mountains are still very high, very beautiful.
孕妇岛,据说喝了岛上的水,回去就能怀孕🤰,哈哈,岛上有各种的水上设施玩
I don't know why I took this, the scenery on the island is okay, but it is still not as good as expected.
