Langkawi Cable Car
After stopped at the Kok beach for a while, we continued our journey to Langkawi cable car. It located at the Oriental Village. However, we don’t spend our time at the Oriental Village. We just went directly to the Langkawi cable car station, stepped into a cable car and the journey to the summit of Macincang Mountain (Gunung Macinchang) began.
On the journey to the summit of Macincang Mountain, we saw the Seven Wells clearly from the sky. We stopped at the last cable car station on the summit of Macincang Mountain which about 708 metres above the sea level. You can have a very nice spectacular view from here. There is a suspension bridge allows you to enjoy the nature and also the view around too. When we were stand still on the bridge to take some photos, we felt the bridge was a little bit wobble. That feeling made us became a little bit nervous. Would you? Look at the picture then you will know.
Something happened when we were on our way back to the ground. We were trapped in a cable car and hung in the middle of sky. The cable car stations were stopped to operate. Don’t ask us why because we really don’t know. It already happened once before we decided to come down from the summit of the Macincang Mountain. The weather changed so fast while we were trapped there. It was rained and we have to close all windows, the air inside the cable car became warm and humid. When we looked down, there was tropical forest bellow us. Great?
Together with us in the cable car were Arabian couple and Australian couple. Six of us have a really long conversation in the cable car while waiting the people down there (maybe up there) fixed the problem(s). We talked about the Malaysian cultures, life; their life in Arab country, Australia and so on. Approximately an hour later, the cable car moved again. Finally, we arrived on the surface. Well, the first thing we did was gone for our lunch before our journey to Seven Wells.
