Langkawi Sky Bridge, Cable-stayed footbridge at Mount Mat Cincang, Malaysia
The Langkawi Sky Bridge extends 125 meters across Mount Mat Cincang at an elevation of 700 meters, supported by a single 82-meter central pylon.
The construction of this engineering project began in August 2003 and required helicopter assistance to transport materials before its completion in February 2005.
The bridge forms part of the Mount Mat Cincang Geo Park, offering views of the Andaman Sea and connecting visitors to Malaysia's natural heritage.
Access to the bridge requires taking a cable car from Oriental Village to the peak, followed by a 10-minute walk along stairs.
The bridge includes two triangular platforms functioning as observation decks and features a glass walkway section installed during the 2015 renovation.

Bridges have connected shores, valleys and communities for centuries. This collection presents significant bridge structures from different periods and regions. From medieval stone arches to modern steel constructions, these works demonstrate the evolution of engineering. The 16th-century Rialto Bridge in Venice spans the Grand Canal with a single stone arch. The Golden Gate in San Francisco extends 2.7 kilometers, connecting the city with northern California. In Singapore, the Helix Bridge forms a pedestrian connection across Marina Bay with its double spiral structure. These constructions serve practical functions in urban transport while defining the skylines of their cities. They document technical solutions to geographic obstacles and show different approaches to bridge building across the centuries.
This collection gathers sites where architecture and nature combine to offer extraordinary experiences. From urban observation platforms to natural geological formations, these destinations allow observing the world from remarkable viewpoints. Each location presents a different approach to altitude, whether through modern installations or natural sites. Among the destinations are TILT Chicago, a platform that tilts above the city from the 94th floor, and Trolltunga in Norway, a rocky formation protruding 700 meters above Lake Ringedalsvatnet. In China, the Zhangjiajie glass bridge spans 430 meters between two cliffs, while in Ecuador, the Banos swing enables swinging facing the Tungurahua volcano. Other sites like the Grand Canyon Skywalk in Arizona, the Royal Gorge suspension bridge in Colorado, or the Hanging Temple in Datong showcase the diversity of these places. These destinations are aimed at travelers seeking different sensations and wishing to discover panoramas from unusual positions. Some sites require good physical condition, others are accessible to all. It is advisable to check access conditions and consider your tolerance for heights before planning your visit.
Malaysia offers diverse photographic subjects from the Cameron Highlands with their tea plantations to the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. The landscape includes tropical rainforests in Borneo, limestone formations at Batu Caves, and coral reefs off the Perhentian Islands. Chinese temples in Georgetown, rice fields in Kedah, and mangrove forests in Langkawi complement the photographic opportunities. Architecture ranges from colonial buildings in Malacca to Hindu shrines and modern skyscrapers. The islands of Tioman and Sipadan attract underwater photographers, while Kinabatangan River provides wildlife photography opportunities. Urban markets, plantations, and coastal sections complete the offering for various photographic genres.
