Dataran Lang

SUNDAY 25th FEBRUARY 2018

Dataran Lang, or Eagle Square, is one of Langkawi's best known man-made attractions. The square is marked by a massive 12-meter sculpture of a reddish brown eagle which is poised to take off. The old Malay language Helang means Eagle, and Kawi means reddish brown. This place reflects the origin of Langkawi's name.

The Eagle Square is located on the right side of Kuah Jetty, and within a short walking distance from there. The square covers a beautiful landscaped area of about 19-acres that has covered terraces, beautiful small ponds, fountains, footbridges, shops & eateries, and covered pavilions where events are held. This place is an ideal place for those who seek for postcard-perfect holiday photos.

This place is also famous for its awesome view of the bay that opens out to the sea with the backdrop of mountains. You can see the ferries plying across the bay.

Try to plan a trip either early in the morning or in the evening hours to walk around and really appreciate the place. At night, the square and even the eagle sculpture are illuminated with lights and the place really look gorgeous.

This place is open 24 hours and admission is free.
