Checking in at the iconic Eagle Square in Langkawi

Langkawi, a northern seaside town in Malaysia, means 'reddish-brown eagle' in ancient Malay, and now a giant eagle square has been built by the seaside of Langkawi. The square features the new landmark of Langkawi - the Eagle Tower, which has become a must-visit spot for those traveling to Langkawi. What to see: Eagles are indeed one of the common wild animals on Langkawi Island, especially in the Langkawi National Geopark where flocks of eagles can be seen soaring in the sky. This eagle statue is super realistic; from a distance, a reddish-brown giant eagle stands on a several meters high stone tower with its wings spread, as if it's about to rush into the clouds the next second. The eagle's fierce and proud posture symbolizes the ever-thriving and prosperous future of Langkawi. What to do: Around the square, there are tranquil lakes, beautiful fountains, and poetic bridges. This place is super photogenic, with blue and green everywhere - the flawless blue sky, the clear and cool sea water, the dense green tropical plants, plus the pure white mosque at the entrance... The blues, greens, and whites here are the purest colors bestowed by nature. Admission: Free access. Recommended spots: Standing under the wings of the giant eagle for a photo with it, and taking a panoramic shot from the sea-facing corridor are both great choices for photo spots.
