You can reach the Oriental Village, which is, located northwest from the airport, within 15 minutes by taxi, or, if you coming from the main town of Kuah, will take you about 45 minutes. The ride to this place itself is not so spectacular, but the view from the mountain Gunung Mat Cincang, the second highest mountain of the island, is really stunning. In this man-made village you can take a walk around and buy some souvenirs before you visit the main attraction, which is, the Cable Car and the Sky Bridge.
Oriental Village is considered as an open-air mall which sells handicrafts and knick knacks. Because it is an island, almost every store has bathing suits for sale. The prices are reasonable, but it is normal to bargain to get the better price.
Other activity you can try here is the Duck Tour. You will ride a vehicle which looks like a combination of a bus and a boat. It takes you around the road then splash into Telaga Harbour. The journey will let you see the marina and other landmarks above the water.
Have fun while exploring this place. Remember when you shop, always try to BARGAIN.
Enjoy !
