Dataran Lang

The two Malay terms "helang" (eagle) and "kawi" (reddish brown) are said to be the source of Langkawi's name, so lang-kawi. Eagle Square, also known locally as Dataran Lang, is home to Langkawi's enormous statue of an eagle.

Every visitor to Langkawi is greeted by the eagle, which is perched 12 meters above the star-shaped concrete platform with a view of the Kuah Jetty. For their holiday shot, visitors can come very close to the statue's base. You can take as many photos as you like because the square is practically always open to the public!

Dayang Bunting Lake

The island, which is roughly 20 kilometers from Kuah town, has a small population on one side and almost no people on the other, where the lake is located.

According to the folklore, Tasik Dayang Bunting (Lake of the Pregnant Maiden) was the favorite swimming pool of a celestial princess named Mambang Sari. Mat Teja, a prince, deceived her into marrying him after falling deeply in love with her.

Sadly, their seven-day-old infant passed away from an unexplained disease. Mambang Sari, distraught, abandoned the child's body in the lake and went back to her heavenly home. Some people now think that if a barren woman takes a bath in this lake, she will become pregnant.

Kilim Geoforest Park

Visit the coastal mangrove forest of Langkawi to discover the wonders of nature. After stopping at the jetty, you can stroll across a mangrove swamp on a wooden platform while taking in the distinctive limestone formations, tree crabs, macaques, and the overhanging Bogak tree. The trail takes you straight to a cave full of bats! Learn about the forest reserve's ecosystem, medicinal plants, and migrating birds by taking a boat tour.
