An icon of Langkawi. A gigantic, very realistic looking Eagle. This is actually a replica of Brahmini Kite. The type of fish eating eagle found in Langkawi abundantly. The world Langkawi came from this word. Lang means Eagle Kawi means redish brown colour. Lots of Bollywood movies movies were shot here. The night is a better time this place.
