This post will properly arm you with necessary information before going to the bridge in order to have the best possible experience.
If you have not gone there yet but are considering the adventure, you'll learn exactly why Sky Bridge, a Langkawi's iconic landmark should rank high in your must-do list.
Constructed by linking two hilltops from Mount MatCincang, the Langkawi Sky Bridge is a curved suspension bridge situated at the top of the breathtaking hills. It's the perfect view that Langkawi offers, but definitely not for everyone.
Extending for nearly 125 meters and hanging at least about 100 meters over the ground, strolling along the Sky Bridge is more than only sight-seeing. You'll get the opportunity to observe the landscape from perspectives that tend to vary at different points of where you happen to stand on the curved bridge.
On account of its height and its curved structure, constructing Sky Bridge was no simple feat. Moreover, it's now regarded as one of the world's engineering wonders. Many factors were considered that range from the ideal load, the balance to all the details involved in the fabrication process.
5 top tips before visiting the Sky Bridge
1. What's the best time to visit the Sky Bridge?
Early morning, if wishing to beat the queue. Also, tourists could visit about the late afternoon for another chance when it's less crowded.
2. How can I avoid paying additional charges?
While lining up for the Sky Cab, visitors automatically will be photographed and their photographs printed without seeking permission. Of course, many visitors have complained about feeling forced to pay for such unasked photos. So, to avoid altogether this extra but needless charge, politely refuse when they attempt to pull you aside to the screen to take your photograph. There's no guarantee it'll work, but it does work for some.
3. Short nature stroll or Sky Glide to Sky Bridge?
Sky Glide is perhaps the best alternative. The brief nature walk may be more physically demanding for some visitors; it can get quite steep and the entire trip is tiring.
4. What are the most suitable clothes for Sky Bridge?
This will depend on the current weather; since it can get rather cold and windy up there, wearing a cozy jacket may be appropriate.
5. What essential items to take to Sky Bridge.
Bring your sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses. Up at those heights, you will be exposed more directly to sunlight. So, do not forget the sun protection that you'll need. Since shops on the Sky Bridge sell snacks, you do not have to carry food on you.
