Located in the Langkawi Islands of Malaysia, the Sky Bridge has a total length of 125 meters and is arc-shaped. The main structure is made of steel. This large and heavy 'steel frame' is supported by only one pillar, which is 87 meters high and fixed on the mountainside. It is then pulled by 8 steel cables, suspending the entire bridge at an altitude of 687 meters, connecting two mountain peaks. This is the reason it is named the Sky Bridge. To reach the Sky Bridge, you need to take a cable car. The cable car has two stops. The first stop is halfway up the mountain, where you can get off to enjoy the mid-mountain scenery before getting back on to reach the top and head to the Sky Bridge.
At the seaside of Langkawi, there is a large square called Eagle Square. In the square stands the Eagle Tower (Dataran Lang), which is considered the new landmark of Langkawi. In ancient Malay, Langkawi means 'reddish-brown eagle,' and the Eagle Tower is the symbol of Langkawi. The Eagle Tower was built in October 1996, standing 45 meters tall. The reddish-brown eagle stands on a stone tower with its huge wings spread wide, exuding a proud and unyielding posture, as if it is about to soar into the sky at any moment, which is truly awe-inspiring. The fierce and proud stance of the giant eagle symbolizes Langkawi's future economic prosperity, just like an eagle soaring high. Therefore, this square is highly revered and cherished by the locals.

The island is well-equipped with basic facilities and offers a variety of water activities, including banana boating, parasailing, and water skiing.
