WELCOME TO LANGKAWI • 99 Magical Islands in the Sun
| WHAT YOU MAY FIND AT THE ORIENTAL VILLAGE, BURAU BAY, LANGKAWI | ||
| ORIENTAL VILLAGE | ||
| Everything Souvenir You'll Need Is Here | ||
 |
Nestled at the foothills of Machincang, the quaint Oriental Village features more than 40 different souvenir stores, activity providers and restaurants. Most significantly, it is home to the world-class cable car ride offered by Panorama Langkawi, elephant rides by Elephant Adventures and many other activities.
Once featuring branded goods, the Oriental Village has undergone several changes but since current store holders generally do not pay commissions to drivers, the Village does offer shoppers some of the best deals on the island. The Village is open 365 days a year, regardless of whether Langkawi Cable Car is operating or having to shut down due to weather conditions or for maintenance. |

| PANORAMA LANGKAWI | ||
| Takes Your Breath Away! | ||
 |
Panorama Langkawi–formerly known as Langkawi Cable Car–is arguably one of the best tourist attractions in the country. It operates cable car rides from its base station at the Oriental Village to the top of the 700m-plus Mt. Machincang. Featuring the steepest incline in the world for cable car rides, a ride to the top is equally breathtaking as are the stunning views from atop the 550 million year old mountain. |
