Located in the heart of Kuah, Langkawi’s main town, you can find Dataran Lang, also known as Eagle Square. The square is dominated by an impressive 12-meter-tall statue of a reddish-brown eagle, symbolizing Langkawi’s namesake. The name ‘Langkawi’ is derived from the Malay words ‘helang,’ meaning eagle, and ‘kawi,’ referring to a reddish-brown stone, a combination that captures the essence of the island’s identity.
