A tower in city. Offering a great view of the city, the paddy fields, sea & mountains. Getting up there doesn't take long to reach the open deck which is 105m in height as lifts are available. And some coffee at the rotating restaurant will be great before you head down.

100 M tall tower. You could experience both night and day view. It's really beautiful. If your thinking about dine in service, then your also in the right place, there's a dining area which will turn automatically on the 80 M floor. The food is near to fine dining standard. But the environment and service was a 10/10.

Visited the observation deck(RM6/Adult) instead of the much expensive Open Deck sky box (RM24/Adult). I think it is more than enough to view the Alor Setar's scenery from there at 88 meter height unless you want to have some portraits shooting. The observation deck is actually not an enclosed space so you can feel the continuous breeze up there. The binoculars seem old as the lens appeared yellow when looking into it.

Great experience. Nice views but maybe they can add on more attractive info's or activities on the tower itself. There are two types of level you can visit and the ticket price are different
-
Good recreational place for the whole family at night. There are also food stalls here and mini bazaar selling various kind of item. It can get pretty crowded during public holiday and on weekend.
