----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The itinerary is as follows

On the 1st day , we cost 18hrs 40min on flying to Penang.

On the 2nd day, when we get there first things is go to hotel to check in .

Then we go to Langkawai By Ferry about 45 minutes journey

when we get there we go to DATARAN LANG(雄鷹廣場)
The brainchild of Malaysia's Prime Ministerthis ,prominent, 19—acre landmark is major attraction to we disembarking at Kuah Jetty.The centerpiece of the site is a huge and splendid statue of the reddish brown eagle after which Langkawi is named.

Next stop is Air Hangat Village(熱水村)

This popular hot springs spot was formerly known as Telaga Air Hangat. Top tourist attractions of the village include a three—tier hot spring fountain and an 18—metre long hand carved stone mural portraying the legend that enshrouds this location.

and the other famous place is Telaga Tujuh (Seven Wells Waterfall-七仙井)
Why!? Because it is a spot where a freshwater stream cascades down about 90 metres via a series of seven natural pools and legend has it that fairies used to come down to frolic and bathe in these ponds thus giving it healing powers.

On 3rd day, we go to Pulau Singa Besar (獅子島)
This small island is packed with unique geology, flora and fauna. Picnic on the pristine beaches or enjoy a swim in the surrounding waters. if we go to there Camping is possible with prior permission from the Wildlife Department. There are marked jungle trails and lookout points.

Next stop is Pulau Payar Marine Park (帕亞爾島海洋公 園)

Pulau Payar is home to the Pulau Payar Marine Park and Langkawi Coral. The water is so sparkling clear that we can see the myriad coral flowers on the seabed from the surface. Facilities include hiking trails, gazebos, picnic tables, barbecue pits and restrooms.
The area is accessible by a 45—minute ferry trip from Kuah.
we need to book one day in advance.


And attracting divers from all over the world, the park offers a variety of diving conditions, from flat terrain to more challenging steep slopes.



On the 4th
day, we go to Penang Hill (檳城山)
At its peak of 800m above sea level, savor overwhelming views of the terrain and glimpses of the built-up environment, fauna and flora of Penang's highest peak.

Then we go to Kek Lok Si Temple(極樂寺)
Reputedly the largest Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia is situated close to the bustling Air Hitam market. The temple's enclave includes a prominent statue of the Goddess Kuan Yin.

From the courtyard a stairway leads to the seven storey pagoda of 10,000 Buddha images, displaying the essence of an eclectic mix of Chinese, Thai and Burmese architecture.

last stop we go to Fort Cornwallis (康華麗斯古堡)
Fort Cornwallis is an old star-shaped fort located on the northeastern coast of Penang, Malaysia.

Fort Cornwallis is well preserved and the visitor can take a journey through history with the opportunity to take photographs alongside an yesteryear soldier with his ancient weapon. It is an experience to hold this heavy gun which I believe is at least 4 Kilos in weight and it is an important site in Penang not to be missed by the traveller.

On the last day we'll take Singapore Airlines at 9:15pm going back home.
We'll depart from Penang (PEN) and land in Taipei Chiang Kai Shek International Airport (TPE) at 1:20 pm (next day)
