Visit Kuching, Sarawak

Kuching the 'cat city' of Sarawak, within the island of Borneo is one exotic destination you'll not want to miss. The adventure, the mystery alongside the colourful ethnicity of its population plus its serenity is a definite "come on".

The Sarawakians, are the malays, chinese, ibans, bidayuh, kelabit, murut, etc. Each with their own dialects & unique customs & traditions.

Ibans's longhouses, the bidayuhs' baruk are some of the few so-called homes of the local ethnic.  Today, Kuching city is like no other.  



 Take a serene stroll along Kuching Waterfront.. enjoy the cool breeze on evening walks.  You'll find small stalls along the way. Some are small kiosk cafes that sells a great array of local dishes...





 You'll see this restaurant that offers to sell food till late at night.  No harm stopping by for a hot cup of tea.. Across the waters, you'll see the new Dewan Undangan Negeri's building. A landmark so significant you won't miss it!


Look over thete, across the Kuching river, its the new parliamentary DUN bilding.

Just a few steps across is Hilton Hotel.  Walk over to the traffic light cross over & you're there.
 Kuching town is an old town, the central part is where you'll see the hustle of daily business and selling activities by locals & shops along the roads.
 I dare say, Kuching has got the most roundabouts I can find in Malaysia.
 The british-built courthouse in the old days has long benn transformed into commercial lots.  You can find restaurants, travel agencies & handicraft shops here.

Hop on the Star Cruise for a better feel of viewing Kuching city on water. Cruise along Kuching river and enjoy the beauty of nature on the island of Borneo, Land of the Hornbills.
