The flat expanse of padi fields against a backdrop of rolling hills provides a picture of utter serenity that lulls the senses. Off its western shore, are clusters of sun-drenched islands that comprise the legendary islands of Langkawi. Kedah also owes its fame to the archeological discoveries at the Bujang Valley, which furnished evidence of the existence of an early civilisation dating back to the 6th cebtury A.D. With its islands, legends, historical relics, hill stations and scenic aterfalls, Kedah offers the visitor a variety of sights, sounds and fun-filled activities - from beach combing to diving, water skiing, picnicking or merely to take in the sights.
Kedah has the distinction of
being the "Rice-bowl of Malaysia" - a term
that takes on aesthetic significance when one sees
the rice fields for themselves: the flat expanse of
padis against a backdrop of rolling hills provides a
picture of utter serenity that lulls the senses.
Off Kedah's western shores
are clusters of sun-drenched islands that comprise
the legendary archipelago of Langkawi, easily the
most popular resort location in the country. More
than a land of mere scenery, however, Kedah is also
the site of Malaysia's most extensive ruins. In the
Bujang Valley are the sprawling remains of a Hindu
kingdom believed to date back to the 6th century A.D.
