My favourite holiday destination is Langkawi,which is made up of 99 islands on Malaysias 2 west coast.It is the countrys best-known holiday destination.Surrounded by stunning turquoise sea,it is the most popular and is frequented by both local and foreign tourist. The sightseeing attraction in Langkawi certainly will not disappoint visitors.One of the interesting place I love to go is Underwater World-Malaysias largest aquarium-which features 200 species of marine and freshwater creature.It is located at Langkawis most popular beach,Pantai Cenang,where visitors can enjoy the varieties of water sports or simply strolling along the white sandy beach. Mahsuris Tomb is another tourist attraction which preserves the historical past oh Langkawi.This memorial is built in honour of Mahsuri,a fair maiden who a accused of adultery and unjustly put to death.According to legend,she bled white blood as a sign of her innocence and she cursed Langkawi for seven generation.Besides ,you can visit the Gamat Factory nearby where you can purchase a wide variety of this tradisional Malay medicine.Just 5 kilometers away from Mahsuris Tomb,the Field of Burnt Rice is another must-visit place.It is believed that when the Siamese army invaded Langkawi,the local chief ordered that all rice in the land be cut and burnt to prevent it from falling into enermy hands.To this day you can purportedly still see the burnt rice on the ground during heavy rain-fall. Your visit to Langkawi is not complete without experiencing the gondola ride at Oriental village,home of cable car.It takes you from the foot of Gunung Machinchang to its apex.From the peak,you will get a birds eye view ofLangkawis thick greenery and also the Telaga Tujuh waterfalls. If you are a nature lover you can enjoy a glimpse of a lush flora and fauna of the Kilim Nature Park.This trip will take you on the fascinating journey to explore the parks nature inhabitants as well as its natural limestone caves. Finally,if you are intent on carting off duty-free perfume,imported dishes,batik and chocolate,then this is the place to be.There are many shops offering these items at good prices,especially in Kuah Town.It is indeed a shopping heaven especially for ladies. Langkawi is definitely my favourite holiday destination.Besides being a duty-free island and beautiful tourist spot to go,it is a place where I can relax and feel as if I am in another world.I will definitely spend my holiday in Langkawi again.
