Descend through the mists of time into a mystical forest populating by tall, silent bamboo plants harbouring the history of the ages beneath the soft peat of the forest ground, in the isle of Langkawi off the Malasian coast. Here, you will find a series of ancient tombs whose origins are swathed in mystery. Stay at a convenient Langkawi beach resort that will be happy to help you organize a day out to see these splendid artefacts, and the Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa is considered an ideal 5 star hotel in Langkawi to host vacations here.
Translating to “Hutah Buloh”, the intriguing bamboo forest promises to mesmerize all visitors who step into its dark, verdant depths. Lingering within are mysterious ancient graves of superb detailing and construction, which must be captured from behind the lens and preserved for posterity. The opulent decoration of these antique grave sites has led some to surmise that the individuals interred within are of high aristocratic standing. Archaeologists have theorized that they are of Chinese origin and hailed from northern Sumatra, but beyond these vague musings, not much else is known about the tombs or the folks they cover. In the area, you will also encounter the first mosque built in the island, so your cultural itinerary must include these two fascinating locales to enhance your visit here.
