Malaysia is best known as home to countless historical temples and stunning skyscrapers, but did you know its bridges are also top of the line? This Asian country is secretly home to some of the most spectacular bridges in the entire world, and here are three worth checking out during your visit.

Langkawi SkyBridge

One of Malaysia’s most popular attractions, Langkawi SkyBridge stands tall at 2,170 ft above sea level in the heart of the Langkawi archipelago. You can reach it by taking a ride on the Langkawi Cable Car and taking a short walk across the bridge, enjoying the breathtaking views along the way.

Penang Bridge

When it was inaugurated back in 1985, this bridge was the only connection between the Malaysian peninsula and Penang Island. This cable-stayed structure is one of the longest bridges in Malaysia and in Southeast Asia as a whole.

Seri Wawasan Bridge

One of Malaysia’s most stunning architectural marvels, Seri Wawasan Bridge is one of the main landmarks of the planned city Putrajaya. Its futuristic asymmetric design is a sight to behold in person, largely thanks to the forward-inclined pylon reminiscent of a sailing ship. It looks even more spectacular at night due to changeable color lighting.
