Makam Mahsuri / Mahsuri Mausoleum - Langkawi

another post from our trip last year..this time, already in Langkawi..the first place we visit was the legendary Mahsuri Mausoleum..it is where the legend of a beautiful maiden who was unfairly accused of adultery & bled a white blood at her execution were buried..if you want to know more about the folklore, just search for Mahsuri and you'll find lots about it..lol..just not feeling to retelling the story *I'm not a good story teller anyway;p*..so I'd rather just keep to the old saying "picture tells a thousand words" ;p..so here are some of the pics from our visit to one of the main tourist attraction in Langkawi :)

 the legendary Mahsuri Tomb

well actually in this Mahsuri Mausoleum site, the more interesting attraction would be the houses and the surrounding i guess rather than the tomb itself..i mean what else you can expect to see of a tomb anyway? and the most interesting for me was actually the very traditional Mahsuri House :)

my parents inside the Mahsuri House - at somewhat the living room i guess..

me at the kitchen! know that tool I'm sitting on? it's for grating coconut 

*my mom still got one at home :)*

with a beautifully decorated traditional baby swing

@ the Mahsuri Well which water believed have healing properties

& there are some more things inside the mausoleum like the Mahsuri information center *very interesting if you want to know more about the story - they even got a reenact video of the legend* , batik boutique, souvenir & handicraft shops, a real-life diorama house, an aviary *got some interesting exotic birds in display* & etc..entrance fee for all this is only RM5.00 per person..& let me tell you this, if you are looking to buy some Langkawi based goods like the gamat oil / balm / soap, you can get them with a way cheaper price at the shops outside the mausoleum rather than at the town..i mean like seriously..you just need to know how to talk to the seller & you might just get them *the goods* half the price than in town :)

so that's all for now..till the next post, astalavista ;p
