A close orbit of Malaysia's oldest mountain - up the cable car to 550-million-year-old Cambrian sandstone, out onto the curved Sky Bridge, and back down to the Seven Wells waterfall at its foot.
Play interactive tourSandstone laid down as seabed 550 million years ago, later tilted almost vertical by tectonic pressure - the Machinchang Formation is the oldest rock in Malaysia, and this mountain is its centrepiece.
From Oriental Village at the base, the Langkawi cable car climbs in two stages to Mat Cincang's upper station - one of the steepest rides of its kind anywhere, opened in 2003 and extended to the summit in 2005.
At the top, quartz-rich sandstone beds - once horizontal seabed layers - now stand nearly vertical, tilted by the same tectonic forces that built the mountain itself.
A curved pedestrian bridge hanging 100 metres above the forest floor, held up by a single central pylon - rebuilt in 2015 after a fire, it remains one of the longest curved bridges of its kind.
From the viewing deck at the top station, the whole northern archipelago opens up - on a clear day, the outline of Thailand's Tarutao islands is visible across the strait.
Back down at the mountain's foot, water cascades through seven natural stone pools - local legend says fairies once bathed here, descending from the peak to the forest below.
