KUALA LUMPUR – Fabled tales of Langkawi’s legends like Dayang Bunting and Merong Mahawangsa must be familiar to many. In January next year, they will spring to life at Dream Forest Langkawi, the island’s latest themed attraction.
Visitors can marvel at an immersive, multi-sensory adventure through Langkawi's magical rainforest. There will also be illuminations and projection mapping.
Set within the lush Lubuk Semilang rainforest at the foot of Gunung Raya, the 7.2-acre park offers a nocturnal journey of mystical stories.
The Dream Forest is designed to attract visitors of all ages. The sojourn will first see visitors walking through a state-of-the-art technology stretch of 1.2 km path. Here they will experience audio-visual narrations of the love story of Mat Teja and Mambang Sari as well as the tale of Tasik Dayang Bunting (Lake of the Pregnant Maiden).
This is followed by dining treats and meals. Attendees will then proceed to enjoy the enchanting story of Merong Mahawangsa and the Rise of Langkasuka. Visitors could unwind with interactive games and a tech-infused wayang kulit performance in this final phase.
Meanwhile, the immersive and interactive digital art experience would be eye-opening for techies.
Bringing these stories to life will heighten the public’s interest in all things homegrown. It will also highlight the biodiversity of Malaysia’s rainforest, its eco-nature and surroundings.
This leisure-themed experience is the brainchild of Puan Sri Tiara Jacquelina, group president and chief dream maker of Enfiniti group of companies.
Tiara led the concept, idea, artistic elements and direction for the project with inputs from experts in the arts and creative tech industry.
“Dream Forest is my way of showing optimism with regards to the recovery of the industries.
“Despite the challenges we faced in recent times, particularly the preparation time taken with my creative project team, it has all been worth it.
“Thanks to the support from the Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Kedah (PKNK), I am proud to say we have made it possible to curate a unique themed attraction, the only night attraction in Langkawi,” she said.
Interested parties can make advance bookings for Dream Forest excursions during the Matta Travel Fair.
