Crystal Cove & D'Mall , Boracay | Philippine

If you are wanting to get away from the loud noise of Boracay and wanting to see something less commercialised and natural, then Crystal Cove Island is a great Island to visit. Not advised for swimming but great for sight seeing and a day trip off Boracay. You get to visit the cave and see another beauty of Boracay. 
A small island full of ancient themed dwellings . An entrance fee of 200 peso's needed to be paid before entry. And no actual guides to show around and explain what the island is all about. Nice place for photo's but that's about it.
Crystal cove is a beautiful place to spend a few hours, or more. There are two coves to climb into and explore, and beautiful scenic trails to hike on.
No activity on the island and will be Interesting for those first time visit like us....

Located about 15 minutes by boat from White Beach, Crystal Cove is an Island Resort featuring white beaches , beautiful views and a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Boracay. On the island, there are walkways that will lead you from each of the different areas .

Walking around Crystal Cove is a peaceful and relaxing way to really take in all of the 360˚ views. The pathways cut throughout the island lead you to several spots around the island.
Near Station 2 you can find a nice collection of businesses in what is called D'Mall. This is the commercial centre of Boracay where you will very likely find yourself at some point during your visit to this beautiful island destination.
At D'Mall, there are many shops selling beach wear, trinkets and souvenirs which range from cheap to pricey; there are some recognisable brands so haggling may not be possible. In our experience the shops are also hassle-free for window shopping.
D'Mall also has many cafes and restaurants (catering to various budgets) which shortly spill out along White Beach. We also found a few working ATM's here, a supermarket, a couple of pharmacies, bakeries, internet cafes.
The presence of D'Mall also makes the area around Station 2 a good location for hotel stays because of the easy access to conveniences found at the D'Mall. At the same time, however, it is also a busy area to stay.
D'Mall is the main shopping location of Boracay, even if it isn't a proper mall. It is where everyone goes if you need to buy something in Boracay during your stay on the island.

Mahsuri's Tomb & Cultural Center, Langkawi | Malaysia

Image
Mahsuri was a young woman who lived in Langkawi, an island in Kedah, Malaysia, during the late 18th century. According to folklore, she was accused of adultery and executed by stabbing. Her tomb, Makam Mahsuri, has become a tourist attraction on the island. The Story Mahsuri was the daughter of a couple who moved from their native Phuket to the island of Langkawi in search of a better life. She was the most beautiful in all of Langkawi and married the warrior Wan Darus (or Wan Derus).

Eventually the rumours grew strong enough that the villagers openly accused her of adultery. Mahsuri pleaded her
