Langkawi Sky Bridge, Malaysia

From series “The World's Highest Observation Decks”

7 out of 11 - Langkawi Sky Bridge, Malaysia

10 out of 11 - Dachstein Sky Walk, Austria

Year: 2005.

One of the main attractions of Malaysia and the greatest achievement of engineering is Langkawi Sky Bridge. This footbridge of incredibly beautiful curved shape is located on the island of Langkawi, in the Ganung mountains. It was designed to cross the chasm. Opening of the bridge took place in 2005; it instantly became popular among travelers. For almost 10 years, it has being used only as a lookout.

The bridge offers gorgeous panoramic view of Andaman Sea and lush tropical forests, as well as the secluded gorge. The bridge is located at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level; its length is 125 meters. In cloudy weather, this unusual observation deck is literally topped with thick clouds; that's why it has such an unusual name. It's certainly worth noting its unique engineering construction, as the bridge rests on just one pole.

The unique design has a few weaknesses. It is strictly prohibited to stay on the bridge during storm, as it's likely to be stroke by lightning. If the storm begins suddenly, visitors are evacuated through the special exit. Experienced travelers say that they feel incredible sense of being close to clouds, while walking on the bridge. In these places, clouds are very low, so tourists are able to enjoy the marvelous nature of Langkawi, deep sky and seascapes simultaneously. The bridge is considered one of the most attractive lookouts in the world.
