As one of Langkawi’s most-recognizable sights, Eagle Square (Dataran Lang) is on the itinerary of most island tours, which typically also cover a village that specializes in making batik (cloth that’s decorated with hot wax and dye) and Cenang Street, which is bordered by a white-sand beach. Some tours include admission tickets for Langkawi Crocodile Park and the Langkawi Cable Car (Langkawi Skycab), which transports you to the summit of Mt. Machinchang and guarantees the island’s most spectacular views.
Eagle Square (Dataran Lang) is located on the Kuah Jetty. From Langkawi International Airport, the square is a 30-minute drive via Jalan Padang Matsirat. No public transport services the square so its easiest to take a taxi or visit as part of an island tour.
The square is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. At night, the eagle and the buildings surrounding the square are illuminated, which makes it a romantic place to sit and watch the ferries sail in from the mainland.
One of Langkawi’s top attractions is undoubtedly is the Langkawi Cable Car (Langkawi Skycab), a 3,117-foot (950-meter) free-span cable car that’s among the steepest on the planet. The cable car is part of Panorama Langkawi, which encompasses both the suspended SkyBridge and the SkyGlide funicular.
