DATARAN LANG (Eagle Square) is Langkawi's most
prominent landmark for visitors arriving by sea. Perched
near the Kuah jetty is the magnificent statue of the reddish
brown eagle majestically poised for flight. According to
local folklore, Langkawi derived its name from the eagle or
"helang" while "kawi" denotes reddish brown - hence,
Langkawi means reddish brown eagle
GALERIA PERDANA. At Galleria Perdana visitors can
browse through the display of gifts and souvenirs given to
ex-Malaysia`s Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad

ATMA
ALAM
Langkawi's original
Art Village
in Padang Mat Sirat was made possible by a young couple set
out to realize a long-time dream. Aza Osman, an oil painter
and Roshadah Yusof, a batik artist, have created a wonderful
heaven of art and culture, showcasing the creative energy of
a generation.
AIR
HANGAT VILLAGE. Air Hangat literally means
Hot Springs.
The name is associated with an ancient legend of two feuding
families who threw jugs, pots and pans at each other. One of
the jugs, filled with boiling water, fell on the ground and
immediately a hot spring gushed out of the spot where the
village now stands.
THE
TEMURUN WATERFALLS are conveniently located in the
Mat Cincang Nature Park of Datai, offering ‘hot’ visitors
refreshing mountain water to cool off. The waters cascade
down a 30-meter (98 feet) drop, forming a natural pool below
to swim in. These spectacular waterfalls are well worth a
visit.
MAKAM
MAHSURI The famous legend of Langkawi that tells
the tale of a woman accused of adultery and sentenced to
death. When stabbed, she bled white blood as a sign of her
innocence. Today, visitors can read the full story at her
tomb in Kampung Mawat, several kilometers away from Kuah.
Nearby is also a traditional Malay house to explore.
LAMAN PADI (RICE GARDEN) Rice… The ‘bread’ of
Asians, and necessary ingredient of every meal. The Rice
Garden is dedicated to this humble grain; from imparting
knowledge of its history in the museum, to demonstrating its
cultivation in the farm and tasting its goodness in the
restaurant. Located just ten minutes away from the airport
KUAH TOWN Undoubtedly the busiest place on the
island, its name means ‘gravy’. If you follow the story
behind Gunung Raya and Mat Cincang Mountain, Kuah arose
because of a pot of spilt curry from the battle between two
giants. Visitors flock to the town to purchase tax-free
goods, and which is also a hub of commercial activity with
luxury hotels, business complexes, banks, small emporiums
and large shopping malls that litter the landscape.
PADANG MATSIRAT (FIELD OF BURN RICE) right next to
the airport, was the site of a mass paddy-burning spree
conducted by Langkawi’s inhabitants with the Siamese
invasion in 1821. The purpose was to prevent the enemy from
attaining an extra source of food. Today, visitors can still
find burnt rice grains on the ground two hundred years after
the incident.
