Langkawi Bridge.. the most wonderful pedestrian bridge in the world

Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - In contrast to ordinary bridges where the experience ends at the point of arrival, it changes from a curved bridge because its perspective is amazing and makes you turn to this unique invention and do not stop taking pictures, this is what happens to you with the Sky Bridge in langkawi.

The suspension bridge in Langkawi was completed in 2004, at the top of Mount Machinchang at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level. It was opened in 2005 and can be reached from the upper station of the aerial lift.

The Sky Bridge or "Gabatan Odara Langkawi" is a suspended bridge 82 meters high in the sky, forming an exciting view with its curves. It is attached to a taller edifice, about 100 meters high.

The 125-meter-long bridge can accommodate up to 250 people at the same time, swinging between scenic landscapes and giving visitors a unique experience in seemingly inaccessible locations, above a virgin forest with breathtaking views.

This structure is the longest curved suspension bridge in the world, and the process of building it was not an easy feat, so the solutions came by adding the basic elements of placing a balance structure from one point (upper edifice), and optimal control of weight and load distribution, before making the bridge and installing it on site. All parts of the bridge were lifted to the top of the mountain by helicopter, and then assembled at the current bridge site.

The price for the Skybridge is RM5 for adults and RM3 for children (US$1 is equal to RM4.2 today), and tickets can be purchased at the Skybridge kiosk at the upper station of the Langkawi Cable Car.

It is noteworthy that the Langkawi cable car is the longest in the world among the electric elevators that run on one rope, and the cost of riding it is 35 ringgit for adults and 25 for children.

There are many other tourist activities in the vicinity of the place, such as an adventure park, lake activities, a walking path in the woods, the Museum of Interactive 3D Art at the lower station of the cable car, which is the largest in Malaysia, and SkyDome.

You can ride the SkyGlide, which is a cabin that goes up and down between the cable car station and the sky bridge, a distance that requires a 10-minute walk, and may be tiring for the elderly, and this cabin provides fun and beautiful views between the forests for a distance of 94 meters, for 10 ringgit for adults.

Make sure you don't miss the Sky Post, where you can send a handwritten message to your friends telling them you've been to this amazing place.
