WHERE IS IT? Dataran Lang, also known as Eagle Square, is one of Langkawi’s well-known attractions, a large sculpture of an eagle.
WHAT CAN YOU DO THERE? The square is a good place to watch ferries ply across the harbour and offering beautiful views of Kuah Bay. Do bare in mind, plan a trip here early in the morning or late in the evening when the sun is at its least intense. Beside the square, there is Garden Lake, which you could take an amazing panoramic lake mirror view.
INFO: The reddish-brown eagle at Dataran Lang was built as an emblem of the island. According to folklore Langkawi’s name came from two Malay words – ‘helang’ (eagle) and ‘kawi' (reddish brown): hence lang-kawi.
