#tripaway Located in Kuah Town and next to the jetty, Eagle Square or Dataran Lang is the place that reflects origin of Langkawi's name. The square is marked by a sculpture of a reddish brown eagle which is poised to take off. Langkawi's name has been derived from reddish brown eagle, because in old Malay language Helang means Eagle, and Kawi stands for reddish brown. So this manmade statue of the eagle placed on a huge star shaped concrete platform has been created to reflect this background of the island where an eagle is the symbol of Langkawi.  #tripaway #tripawaylocated
