Butterfly Pals: Visitors to My Garden

I have been thinking about documenting butterflies in my garden. Having a garden brimming with nectar-rich plants, I noticed butterflies are regular visitors to my back garden and they can be seen almost everyday. With their stunning colours and various mode of flight, butterflies are one of the wonderfully flying creatures that never fail to amaze people.

Although my 'garden visitors' are not as colourful, but some such as these Common Lime (Papilio Demoleus) and Great Eggfly (Hypolimnas Bolina) butterflies are still attractive and fascinating. All species, including Striped Albatross (Appias Libythea) are very common and widespread and can often be found in the gardens and parks.

Majestic Mat Chinchang & Langkawi Cable Car

Taking an exhilarating Cable Car ride to the top of Gunung Mat Chinchang, 708 metres above sea level is an unforgettable experience. The 2.2km journey is full of heart-stopping thrills and its splendours are enhanced by the views across to the coast of southern Thailand and the surrounding islands that a clear day affords.

A remarkable piece of engineering, the Langkawi Cable Car was awarded by the Malaysia Book of Records for 'the Longest Free Span Single Rope Cable Car - total length of 919.5 metres' and it is one of the steepest gradients in the world at 42 degrees.

Protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the majestic Mat Chinchang Mountain range has been earmarked as one of the sites within the Langkawi Geopark development and it is part of the Mat Chinchang Formation, the oldest rock formation in the country with an age of about 550 million years.
