Dataran Lang (Eagle Square) is Langkawi's most prominent landmark for visitors arriving by sea. Situated near the Kuah jetty, the main attraction of the square is the huge eagle statue poised for flight. According to local tales, the name Langkawi is derived from the word "helang". In old Malay, "kawi" denote reddish brown - hence, Langkawi means reddish brown eagle!
This place offers a beautiful surroundings, scenic ponds, bridges, covered terraces, restaurants and barrel vaults made of bricks. Since it's close to the sea, one can really enjoy the cool breeze while strolling along the park. Indeed, the gigantic eagle is strategically positioned to welcome visitors to Langkawi.
