Pulau Langkawi is located on the south-eastern tip of the island, about 16 km from the Langkawi International
Airport. It is a duty-free zone and Kuah, being the main town, is the thriving centre of modern hotels and shopping-cum-business complexes. It has many duty-free shops offering a wide variety of goods. Dataran Lang (Eagle Square) is Kuah’s most prominent landmark. Situated near the Kuah jetty, one can never miss the 12-metre high statue of a reddish brown eagle majestically poised for flight.
The eagle is symbolic of the Island as its name is derived from the word “lang” which is malay for eagle. The well landscaped square features scenic ponds, bridges, covered terraces, restaurants and barrel vaults. It’s close proximity to the sea makes it ideal for leisurely walks as well as permeates a tranquil setting for dining in the cool evenings.
