Eagle Square (Dataran Lang) (Langkawi) FAQs In 2026 - 2027

Eagle Square, known locally as Dataran Lang, is one of the most famous landmarks in Langkawa, Malaysia. It is most notable for the striking 12-meter tall sculpture of an eagle poised to take flight, which symbolizes the island's name (Langkawi's name is believed to be derived from the Malay words for 'eagle' and 'strong').

Eagle Square is located in Kuah, which is the main town of Langkawi, near the island's southeastern tip, close to the Langkawi Jetty Point Ferry Terminal.

The eagle statue is an emblem of Langkawi, as the name of the island is associated with the Malay word for eagle ('helang' or shortened to 'lang'). The statue's pose, with its wings lifted, prepares to soar which reflects the island's spirit of freedom and aspiration.
