Hello friends in TE.

Langkawi sky-bridge is suspended at 700 metres above sea level. This unique curved pedestrian bridge spans 125 metres across a spectacular chasm. The view from the bridge is simply breathtaking. You'd be able to view the Andaman Sea and Thailand’s Tarutao Island as well.

Langkawi Sky Bridge
The 1.8m-wide bridge had two 3.6m-wide triangular platforms that provided a spectacular viewing-cum-resting area for visitors.

Unlike straight bridges where you can see from the starting point, the bridge has been curved to provide different perspectives over the land and sea. Convenient triangular platforms located along the curved bridge provide rest areas so you can sit and appreciate both the beauty of nature and an incredible feat of engineering. Langkawi sky-bridge is safe.

Considerable thought was invested to provide visitors with a psychological feeling of security. They include a double steel railing at upper body level as well as an enclosed wire mesh and timber parapet below.

Regards.

Hello Jusni,

The bridge is definitely high! I think is quite an experience to be almost suspended from such a height, though the views are too rewarding to worry about the height I imagine. Nice image with an interesting perspective of the structure and surroundings. Thanks Jusni.

It sounds like a very unusual and interesting bridge. The circular structure at the top of the hill also looks like you can see stunning views from there. The pastel shades of the setting sun add a nice touch. Well done

Hi Jusni,

very attractive scenary. There is a good combination nature/modern architecture. I can imagine the view you have there on the top. Good light management and very fine soft colors. One more good work!
Regards,
Carlos

hello Jusni

Nice view of this part of island. Will you able to get wider view? I definitely would like to see more of the fine bridge, especially the stay cables, it can be more interesting feature.

tfs, bill

Bonjour Jusni.
C'est un contre-jour qui a beaucoup de charme avec la finesse des détails. Le ciel est magnifique avec des couleurs pastel.
