Mabul Island
Semporna

            Mention Mabul Island and visions of swaying coconut trees and idyllic water villages come to mind. And that’s just above the water. Located only about 15 minutes by speedboat from the famous Sipadan Island, Mabul has gained its own recognition as one of the best muck-diving (a term used to describe limited visibility dives at shallow sites with usually sandy bottoms) sites in the world.

Mabul is a small oval shaped island fringed by sandy beaches and perched on the northwest corner of a larger 200-hectare reef. The reef is on the edge of the continental shelf and the seabed surrounding the reef slopes out to 25–30m deep.

Mabul is also renowned for its amazing array of macrolife, making it an underwater photographer’s dream location to capture some of the rarest ecological species on film. Flamboyant cuttlefish, blue-ringed octopus, spike-fin gobies, frogfish and moray eels are just some of the spectacular critters you will encounter beneath the waters of Mabul.

Although all the excitement is underwater, you can always set your scuba gear aside for a day to laze on Mabul’s soft sand to work on your tan.

DESTINATION 2: KOREA

The Korean Peninsula between 124'11' E and 131' 53' E Longitude, 33' 07' N and 43' 01' N Latitude sits in the center of the East Asian world, facing Manchuria and China to the west and Russian Siberia to the north with its back toward Japan.

At their closest point, Korea and China are only about 110 miles (177 km) apart across the Yellow Sea. About 193 km (120 mi) across the Korea Strait (Tsushima Strait) from the Korean seaport of Pusan lies Japan's main island of Honshu. 

Location: 

South Korea 

claims a 22 km (12 nm) territorial limit from 

its 2,413 km (1,499 mi) coastline, but only 6 km 
(3 nm) into the Korea Strait.

Picture:

Some 25 million South Koreans -- about half the population -- travel abroad at least once a year, but it’s safe to assume that most haven't seen all the beautiful sights within the country.

This is the places that I wanna to go travel coming soon in Korean country.

1) Uleung Island Seaside Road (울릉도 해안도로)

Uleung Island was known as Dagelet to Europeans. 

Uleung Island, nicknamed "Mysterious Island", is a popular weekend getaway spot for Seoulites.

Curious rock formations, shore cliffs and numerous waterfalls adorn the island’s Seaside Road.

Anyone planning to walk or bike their way around Uleung Island should make sure they set aside enough time, as they will inevitably stop countless times to admire the glorious view.

Uleung-eup, Uleung-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경북 울릉군 울릉읍)

 

2) Bomun Pavilion, Gyeongju (경주 보문정)

A pavilion for all seasons. 

Gyeongju, an ancient capital of the Shilla Dynasty, boasts the nickname "a museum with no walls." Bomun Pavilion, a small wooden gazebo standing over a quiet duck pond, is a great spot to experience Korea’s spring; the cherry blossoms fluttering over the pond provide an exquisite sight. In fact, it's the perfect place to view all of Korea's markedly different seasons: summer's lush green leaves, fall's scarlet and mustard foliage, and winter's blankets of snow.

Bodeok-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경북 경주시 보덕동)

 

3) Anapji (Anap Pond) (경주 안압지)

There are lotus flowers under there somewhere.

This man-made pond was created during the Shilla Dynasty approximately 1,500 years ago.

Three buildings stand on three artificial islands while patches of lotus flowers frame the pond.

Gorgeous exterior lighting that go on after sunset create a magical night view.

 I hope my dream to go to KOREA will be coming true.....('',)

DESTINATION 1: LANGKAWI CABLE CAR, MALAYSIA

Langkawi Cable Car is located on the southwest coast of the main island, just a 30-minute drive from Kuah Town and only 15 minutes from Langkawi International Airport. The Langkawi Cable Car is a major attractions in Langkawi Island, Kedah, Malaysia. It provides an aerial link from Burau Bay Resort at Teluk Burau to the peak of Machinchang mountain, the location of the Langkawi Sky Bridge. The total length is 2.2 km (1.4 miles). It was officially opened on 2003.

 Langkawi Cable Car Track From Peak Station                   Langkawi Cable Car Peak Station

A cable car ride takes you to Langkawi's second highest peak, where the view of the surrounding islands is spectacular. On a clear day, you can see parts of Thailand towards the north and Indonesia towards the south-west. The cable car ride up the hill takes about 20 minutes and is highly exhilarating. The over-ruling height of Machinchang mountain(708m), its commanding views over Langkawi, the western sea-coast, and the dramatic views over the funnel with its staggered rock blocks will make the visitors wonder in amazement and bring the visitors so close to nature that they can practically touch it.

This was my 1st experience on a Langkawi Cable Car.

 I was actually quite scared of getting on this thing. Sitting in a bucket with rickety doors dangling at the height of mountains doesn’t seem comforting to me. In order to get on, the attendants quickly open the doors as the cabin comes around and you have to quickly jump in before it leaves the platform…

I was nervous. Once we were on, I was completely overtaken by the experience. There were multiple waterfalls gushing down at every side, and the fresh air was very much appreciated. it's so nice day for me and hope will be back and try again....('_')
