The cave is located offshore and at the northern water area of Langkawi. You will need a boat from Tanjung Rhu area to reach out to this lovely cave. Gua Cerita is also known as Cave of Legends because it is shrouded with several folk lore of the island. 
The main legend says that many years ago when Prince of Rome and Princess of China were all set to get married, Garuda (the Phoenix and the eagle of Lord Vishnu) strongly resisted the marriage. Garuda felt that unification of the two major powers of the world may cause huge problems for the smaller kingdoms, who would soon get swallowed by this combined power. Subsequently Garuda kidnapped the Princess of China and kept her hostage inside this cave. In fact if you happen to visit the cave, you will see a strange stone formation which looks like a sleeping princess.
