Alor Setar is the capital city of the state of Kedah, Malaysia. Most of the city is situated on the west bank of the Kedah River, with its fertile plains distributing majority of the harvests around the region.

Aside from that, Alor Setar’s cosmopolitan attractions include the 543-ft (165.5-m) Alor Setar Tower and Chinatown’s shophouses-turned cafes. If you’d like to venture further, Alor Setar is also the gateway to the Langkawi archipelago, known as the Jewel of Kedah.
