I still remember how I struggled to find another imaginary bowl to include my overflowing excitement moments before my very first cable television automobile ride in Hong Kong. like all first times, the thrill was just immeasurable. I remember that very first step into a gondola; I practically jumped from the platform into it. I remember that moment when we reached the very top of the line; I was frightened and pleased at the same time, and not numerous things can make me feel that strange mixture of emotions. It was that milestone in Hong Kong that got me too thrilled for my second gondola ride in Langkawi.
The landscapes were playing hide-and-seek with us that afternoon. It had been drizzling. The clouds were scattered over the lush and heavily contoured landscapes of Langkawi Island. Still, we hopped into one of the gondolas and hoped for the best.
Panorama Langkawi cable television automobile is one of the most popular traveler destinations in the island. families and couples flocked the ticket counter located at the base of Mt. Cincang (Gunung Machinchang) expecting to be amazed by the views that were waiting for them. Expectations are high, of course, just like the destination itself. The cable television automobile system, branded SkyCab, spans 2.2 km, a distance long enough for the experience to be rich and brimming with wondrous sights, especially over the dense tropical rainforest at the base and on the slopes of the second highest top in Langkawi. speaking of heights, the steepest gradient is 42 degrees, a little too scary for someone who had tried riding a gondola lift only once before.

1. The Waterfalls
After a brief hesitation, I stepped into a gondola and let my eyes take everything in. The raindrops had blurred the glass walls of the gondola but the charm of the thick greenery below shone through. Two marvelous waterfalls were easily visible from the top. The first was a tall, narrow cascade, but much of the view was blocked by the towering trees.
The other was just pure charm — the seven Wells Waterfall, named such for the seven pools that broke the flow of the splashing water. I got a real nice, long look at the waterfall and the rocky path it sweeps through. The whole time I wondered whether these columns were even accessible, without realizing that the seven Wells was actually quite a popular traveler spot, too.

2. The steep Climb
From afar I marveled at the sight of the mountain’s spine. It finally started to sink in on me that this was going to be a very steep journey to the middle Station, 650m above sea level. The karst cliffs of the mountain were like immovable bouncers identified to block our way. but just when it seemed like we would be smashing onto the wall slowly, we floated over it at short distance as if we were invited to examine the mountainside much more closely. The sharp ascent was quietly insane. It didn’t give me the so-called butterflies, but I was such a relief when we reached the station.

3. The middle Station
At 625.5 meters above sea level, the middle station allows visitors to be bombarded with magnificent vistas of the eastern side of Langkawi. From here, the little islets, beautiful beaches, and comprehensive seascape can be much much more appreciated. I felt the abrupt change in temperature here as it was much cooler and breezier at the middle station that the base, obviously. The view on the other side is still blocked by the highest top of Machinchang, where the top station is located.

4. The top Station
Seated on top of the mountain 708 m above sea level, the top station offers a 360-degree view of Langkawi. If you’re lucky and the clouds are in a good mood, you’ll also get to see parts Thailand. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for me.
The top station is much much more spacious than the Middle: there are two seeing decks connected by a bridge. One has two levels and at the top is a storm of images and scenes and ideas. A long graffiti-covered bench runs around the site, a park floating over the clouds in a tropical highland paradise.
If you’re lucky, you get to see Thailand. If not, then this is what you’ll see.

5. SkyBridge
It was like something pinched my side when I had my first view of the SkyBridge, something I was incredibly thrilled about but was closed for remodelling at the moment. I wondered what was in store there.
But according to its official website, “Suspended from a 82m high single pylon and hanginG på cirka 100 meter över marken svänger det ut över landskapet för att ge besökarna en distinkt rumslig upplevelse och för att få dem till annars ouppnåliga platser, ovanför Virgin Jungle med spektakulär utsikt. Mätningen på 125 m lång, är strukturen bland världens längsta kurvupphängningsbroar. ”

6. Den orientaliska byn
Även om det verkade omöjligt för oss vid den tiden, valde vi att vi hade tillräckligt och att det var dags att gå ner igen. Vid basen av foten av Machinchang är den orientaliska byn, en äventyrsdestination. De erbjuder ett brett utbud av aktiviteter inklusive Segway -turer, elefantturer och ATV -åkattraktioner. Jag var inte riktigt med på någon av dem så jag nöjde mig med den goda promenaden runt i området. Hela platsen såg ut som en temapark för mig. Restauranger och souvenirbutiker finns överallt.
Orientalisk by
Jag insåg inte hur mycket tid som gått eftersom vi anlände till webbplatsen. Vi hittade vår hyttchaufför som väntade på oss utanför väntrummet och ivriga att höra hur mycket vi glädde oss över vår resa till toppen av berget. Turister fortsatte att översvämma in i parken. Barnen var tydligt glada. Föräldrar var alla leenden, lika glada som barnen.
Kanske var det bara dålig timing men jag önskade verkligen att det fanns mer. Visst, platsen var vacker; Jag älskade helt utsikten. Visst, resan var kul; Jag var mycket glad över det. Men jag hoppades lite mer av interaktion med naturen, lite svett, ansträngning, smutsigt arbete. Jag förstår att det är något som gondolen lyfter knappast ger, men det är kanske poängen. Det låter som en överanvänd brytlinje: det är inte destinationen, det är jag. Det kan bara vara min andra gång att åka en kabel -tv -bil men det kändes som en gång var tillräckligt bara för att hänge mig åt min nyfikenhet.
Det saknar något som jag hade blivit van vid i mina tidigare resor: bitterheten innan jag sväljer, körningen före mållinjen, klättringen före toppen. Jag ville inte bara titta på vattenfallet på avstånd; Jag ville bli dränkt under den. Jag ville inte titta ner på regnskogen; Jag ville röra vid det, känna det, gå vilse i det. Rider som den här, även om det var helt naturskönt, kände mig avlägsna och jag lämnades desperat att nå mer.
