Once we are arriving at platform of Langkawi Coral, the most important activities is to explore the world under water.  Activites of watching under water world are scuba diving, snorkeling or watch trought watching chamber under the platform.  There are various species of fish found at this region of Malaysia water. Jacks, Fusiliers, black tip sharks, barracudas and giant groupers are sighted on a regular basis. Coral life is a mixture of hard and soft corals.

来到这里绝对要做的事是探索海底世界，这里的活动有潜水和浮潜，这里有多样化的海底生物。

Althrough the marine life not rich around the platform but if you request your tour guide drive you to coral garden and some near by island which is rich of coral and fish.

What you can see around the platform , see below video.  It is very fun especially kids.  I believe this is the place of real life teaching ground for kids about marine life.  Grow our kids with nature loving heart.

Part IV:  Payar Island Beach 岜耶岛海滩

Payar Island just about 200meter away from the platform,  This is one of the national park and non habitant island. Once we tired of swimming and snorkeling, the beaches is the place allow us the have a rest.  Get a nap under the sun is one of the best thing to do.



芭耶岛只有浮台200 米之遥，这是一个无人居住的国家公园， 当我们游水累了就到岛上来歇一歇，如果能在热带的海滩小睡一下也是人生的一件乐事。

Our journey was end after we have a walk a long the beach on the island.

Mixing feeling after a long day here,  a bit of excitment, a bit of romance, A touching moment suddent drifting me because  I discovered that the nature is harmony here.  Who say nature aggregation with human never happen but I can see natural life is harmony here.

在旅程即将结束之余，我有一些些激情， 一些些浪漫， 我好感动的是大自然是那麽和谐的，谁说人类不能和自然生态容合呢？ 但我看到了， 就在岜耶岛。

Special Thanks to Langkawi Coral provide a opportunity to me re-visiting a wonderful place on earth.

Why Pulau Payar again? 为什么再去芭耶岛

岜耶岛是个魅力无穷的热带岛屿，它让你一路上都有无穷无尽的欢乐。

岜耶岛位于马国北部，就正在浪交怡和槟岛的中央，从槟城出发需要两小时，从浪交怡只要一个钟，这也是唯一最近的海洋公园。 对热爱大自然旅游的人士来说是一个天堂， 这里有美丽的沙滩， 清澈见底的海域， 丰富的海洋生物，好多种鱼类和珊瑚， 所以这里的活动有潜水，浮潜，喂鱼，游泳，海滩散步和其他。 最特别的是浮台，也是唯一的，怕水人士可在浮台里观看海底世界，它的却是老少咸宜。

The most attraction of this island is the endless fun I found throughout the trip.

Pulau Payar is an island located northen-west of Peninsular Malaysia.  The island location just between Penang island and Langkawi island.  The journey for a speed ferry from Penang is about 2 hours and 1 hours from Langkawi.  Pulau Payar is one of the marine park available closest to Penang.  It is a wonderful place for eco-trourism lover.  Pulau Payar offer a beautiful sandy beach, clear sea water, marine life, coral garden and many different type of fish.  Activies I can do are scuba diving, snokering, fish feeding and rich of flora & fauna on the island.  Besides, there is one and only floating flatform in Malaysia.  It moored off 200meter away from the island.  For those who don't know how to swim are able to watch underwater world in the platform. Visitors from 5 years old to 70 years old are suitable to be there.  It is a wonder place with endless fun for whole family.

Although the morning is cool and wet but it doesn't keep me down becuase I found that the sky is blue on the side of our direction.  I pray for rain not to spoil my trip.  Along the way of 2 hours journey in ferry, I discouver that the wave of the sea was too huge in this morning. Some of the guesses were having sea sick but luckyly I strong enough.

今早的天气有些湿冷但它不会使我感到失望因为我相信目标的方向是蓝天白云的， 我也默默祈祷千万别下雨，今天的海浪有些汹涌，还好，我有晕船的免疫力。

# Beach in Sunset 赏夕之滩

One of the most beautiful sunset view in Penang
- Pulau Betong, Balik Pulau
观赏夕阳西下最美的地方是 浮罗的Pulau Betong ，




 

One of the cleanest and most beutiful sunset view beach in Penang.  Fine white sand.  Mild wave from the sea and very confortable cooling breeze from Malacca Straits.

槟城最美也最干静的海滩是浮罗的Pulau Betong. 白细的沙滩，疲弱的海浪，徐徐凉风，优静的环境，这一切都会让你陶醉在浪漫的气息里。 看到情侣牵手漫步，海浪轻轻朔掉情侣刚刚留下的脚印，仿佛跟作偷偷听情侣们的轻声细语，西边的夕阳也缓缓沉下，好像在提醒情侣们也该回家作息了。


Why just sit at home?  Just spent 30 minutes drive from Geogetown to Pulau Betong, Balik Pulau watching a wonderful sunset here.  Enjoy a beautiful beaches, white sand, clear water, blue sky and golden sunset. Bring along your love one and you sure feel the world is just so beautiful.

为什么你我还在家里？ 只有30分钟历程就可以找到的世外桃源，这里有美丽的海滩，清澈的海水，蔚蓝的天空，金黄色的斜阳，真的如恃如画，美不胜收，携手并肩和你心爱的人漫步在这里得确完美无瑕。

# Khoo Kong Si 鬼斧神工之龙山堂

Khoo Kong Si - Treasure of Penang People
邱氏公司-龙山堂 - 槟岛国民的宝藏

Surfing whole list of search engine in Yahoo and Goggle, you are hardly found pictures of Khoo Clan Kongsi of this building taken either outside or inside of the building at night.  Many visitors just taking picture around the building and never notice that interior decoration even more interesting.  It is a piece of art,  the sculpture of the wall, roof, ceiling and pillars really unbelievable fine and real.  The lighting and traditional lanterns just nice to light up throughout the building.  If you didn't walk into it, you are consider missing the best of the best.
当您漫游网络包过谷哥或牙虎时，你不难发现好多关于邱公司的像片都没有夜间拍摄的，不关是内或外部的夜景，好多游客只是在外边拍拍照但都忽略了内部唯美的部分，邱公司可说是一件艺术品，它那精雕细琢的柱子，屋顶和墙梁，的确不感相信的细腻和乱真， 那灯饰和传统灯笼恰好照亮整座建筑物，假如您没踏入的话，您可说是错过了美中之最的画面了。

The clan temple was built in 1906 when the Khoo clan was at the height of wealth and eminence in Penang society. the complex boasts a magnificent hall embellished with intricate carvings and richly ornamented beams of the finest wood bearing the mark of master craftsmen. The clan temple is dedicated to the clan's patron deities and also houses a collection of ancestral tablets. Opera is still staged at the theatre during the special ocation.

邱公司龙山堂建于1906年， 当时邱氏家族的确在槟城是有财有势的生意人，它的成立基于维护同姓氏的同胞， 当时也是开辟槟城城市化的早期华人。 邱公司龙山堂建设樘煌，鬼斧神工的雕琢，中国古代留传下来的陶瓷器具，还有祖先的神牌都让你目不暇接，目不转睛。 在特殊情况下都有京剧表演。

The wonderful craftsmanship in woodcarving, stone carving, colored drawing, stucco sculpture, cut-and-paste decoration and tiled roof work are fascinating.
