Near Burau Bay are the Langkawi SkyCab and Anak Burau Island. The SkyCab is on the west coast of Langkawi’s main island, at Oriental Village at the foot of the Machinchang mountain range. Anak Burau Island lies at the tip of the headland between Burau Bay and Kok Bay.
Anak Burau Island and its coastal landscape
The island is oval-shaped, reaches about 15 metres at its highest point, and features an extensive rocky beach with geological diversity. Those interested in coastal landforms and geology can consider Anak Burau Island a landscape highlight based on these features. The nearby landmarks also differ in character: the SkyCab is defined by its location at the foot of the mountain range, while Anak Burau is distinguished by its island shape and rocky beach.
Perlis: Nature and culture in the wider travel region
Activities in Taman Negeri Perlis include birdwatching, cave exploration, trail hiking, photography, night walks, camping, nature education, and climbing Gunung Perlis. The range spans everything from observing and learning to exercise and other nature experiences. Trail hiking and climbing Gunung Perlis are two distinct forms of physical activity.
Wang Kelian Viewpoint offers panoramic views across Perlis; from there, you can watch migratory birds passing over Banjaran Nakawan. The viewpoint is in Hutan Simpanan Mata Ayer Forest Reserve, which is part of Taman Negeri Perlis. Visitors especially interested in bird migration can enjoy this feature alongside the panoramic views at the same viewpoint.
The caves also offer different experiences. Taman Eko Rimba Bukit Kubu is suitable for exploring natural caves such as Gua Ikan and Gua Harimau. Gua Kelam is a limestone cave in Perlis known for cave walks; tin was mined there in the past. While Bukit Kubu is noted for its two named natural caves, cave walks and past tin mining give Gua Kelam’s natural appeal an added historical dimension.
Muzium Kota Kayang in Kuala Perlis is a historic complex that provides information about the history of Perlis. It was built on a historic archaeological site. Kangar Street Art consists of murals on buildings in central Kangar and is an attraction for residents and visitors to Perlis. Alongside the historic complex, murals in the city centre are another cultural option to explore.
Perlis is connected by an extensive road and rail network; the region can also be reached by air and sea. For specific travel planning, it is worth checking current connections and timetables, as routes and schedules may change.
