The Legendary Kota Mahsuri
Loading...
Uploaded by virtualmalaysia on Jan 17, 2008
Formerly known as Makam Mahsuri (Mahsuri's Mausoleum), Kota Mahsuri was erected in honour of Mahsuri, a fair maiden who was unjustly accused of adultery more than 200 years ago. Legend has it those conducting her execution had to use a special kris (short dagger) as no ordinary kris could kill her.
According to legend, she bled white blood at her execution, which some believe signifies her innocence. On her dying breath, she laid a curse on the island so that it would remain barren for seven generations. Fact or fiction, the seven generations have since passed and today, finally, Langkawi is a flourishing tourist destination.
Within the mausoleum walls are Mahsuri's well, Mahsuri's tomb, an aviary and a Kedah traditional house. As a mark of respect, visitors are advised to remove their shoes before entering the mausoleum. Nearby, visitors also get to see the making of traditional Malay delicacies and cultural performance shows. Besides that, the new and upbeat place has a huge bird cage with varies species including peacocks. To add to the animal kingdom, there are other animal species, some of which are mouse deers.
Kota Mahsuri is open for visitation from 8am to 6.30pm daily. Admission is RM5 for adults and RM2.50 for children aged 7 - 12 years and RM1 for children aged 6 years and below. Ticket prices for the non local is RM10 for adults and RM5 for children aged 7 - 12 years. For more information, please contact the the Langkawi Tourist Information Centre at +604-9667789.

It is such a disappointing experience when I visited Kota Mahsuri recently. It was badly maintained and the animals and birds were kept in small cages. The traditional houses was in very bad condition and bare!!!! The whole complex was very dirty. A complete waste of money and time. Langkawi Tourism should do something positive to this place. What a shame!!!!!!!!!!
