About the location (from here):
Dataran Lang, or Eagle Square, is certainly the most prominent landmark in Kuah, Langkawi. Visitors arriving in Langkawi will not fail to notice Dataran Lang, with its 12 meter high statue of the reddish brown sea eagle – to be exact, a Brahminy Kite – poised for flight. The choice of eagle as emblem for Langkawi is according to some interpretation that the name Langkawi is derived from the name for the eagle, or burung helang. It is believed that Langkawi comes from two words, “lang” for eagle, and “kawi” for reddish brown. Hence Langkawi means reddish brown eagle. In addition to the eagle statue, Dararan Lang is beautifully landscaped, with twin pavillions, reflective ponds, bridges and restaurants. At night the square is illuminated and is a good place for visitors and locals to go for an stroll.
