More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The cable car hums like a living thing as it pulls you from the green foothills toward the ridge of Mount Machincang. Below, Andaman-blue channels and patchwork paddy fields shrink; above, wind teases the SkyBridge and the island’s limestone cliffs loom with patient, ancient faces. The SkyBridge arcs across a narrow gorge, a plank of steel and wood daring you to step into a panoramic bowl of sea and sky.
