This is how the great eagle greets you in Langkawi, Malaysia

Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasmi - Dataran Lang, also known as Eagle Square, is one of the tourist attractions that the Malaysians made to be a symbol of the island of Langkawi, and includes a large carving of an eagle preparing to take off on its flight.

The scene on the island presents the eagle as it greets its visitors arriving by ferry, and the statue is 12 meters tall and is one of the most distinctive landmarks in Langkawi .

The reddish-brown eagle was built in the square to be the emblem of the island, and the reason for this is due to the Malaysian popular memory, because the word Langkawi consists of two words in the Malay language, namely “Helang” which means the eagle and “Kawi” which means reddish-brown, and therefore the name changed from Helang - Kawi to Langkawi or Langkawi.

The Big Eagle Square and Statue are located in the southeastern corner of the island, Pulau Langkawi. In addition to providing beautiful views of Kuah Bay, Lang Square has a group of fountains, terraces and bridges, which makes it an ideal place to take pictures in front of the symbol that immortalizes memories of travel to Langkawi and Malaysia .

The square is also a good place to watch the ferries cruise the port, especially in the early morning or late evening when the sun is pretty colorful.

Nearby are CHOGM Park and Taman Legend Dalam Langkawi Dalam. The monument is also within walking distance of a number of the best duty free shops in Langkawi and the Jetty Point mall. Shopping in Langkawi is better than in other cities as it is a tax-free zone.
