This one’s about the things to do
in the city itself.
1. Sit on the riverbank
Southern coast of Sarawak River
has been completely redesigned in recent years to create a peaceful waterfront.
Shadow Walks hanging trees and flower
gardens, are fairyland at night, colorful lights reflected in the river below.
Brown with rich soil from above
during the day, at night the river shone like a city. The kids loved it. And
there was something really magical river at night, sleeping peacefully under
the city lights. Stalls line the Esplanade, local residents and tourists to
rest in peace on the benches in the park, and restaurants make the busy coastal
trade.
2. Kuching Cat Statues
It is a coincidence that the Malay
word for "cat" is "Kuching", but hey, what better reason
could there be to get the cat city in Malaysia? There are three main cat
statues of the city, like this one.
There are cat museum situated in
the Kuching North City Hall at Bukit Siol. It will be awesome visit for cat
lovers.
3. Stroll through Chinatown
Kuching has an old Chinatown,
around Jalan Carpenter, and a new Chinatown, which is a very commercial area,
along Jalan Padungan, worth a visit for its markets. There are a few
restaurants around, too.
Jalan Carpenter and around
beautiful place to see the traditional architecture of the ancient city of
Kuching, and plenty of Chinese temples. Harmony Arco is located at the entrance
to the street.
Hian Thian Siang temple houses a
shrine of Shang Di (Emperor of Heaven) and was rebuilt in 1884 after a fire
destroyed the building.
Across the temple is a good
central Chinese street to grab a bite to eat. It was Sunday when we visited,
and the streets were quiet, but beautiful.
The Hong San Temple itself dates
back to the 1840s, and colored dragons sit atop its roof.
4. Take a river cruise
If you get on board the tiny
champagne, putting transporting people back and forth across the river, take a
fast boat to the mangroves downstream, or make one of the many cruises tourist
sunset on offer, worth it out on the water.
Fear of small open boats while
traveling mangrove out on the peninsula Santubong Miss Phoebe is done, we opted
for the great choice of tourist ferry, for a one and a half hour sunset cruise.
Those without boat phobia might be able to do something more adventurous.

5. Sarawak Museum
Sarawak Museum has a couple of
good covering all natural, historical, artistic, anthropological and
ethnological things.
The Ethnological Museum has some
rather plush worn down things - animals in the area and beyond. We love filled
with things, so this was cool, despite the worn leather. Above, focuses on the
indigenous cultures of Borneo, including a replica of the interior of a
longhouse Bidayuh, skulls included. (Ancestors of Bidayuh were renowned headhunters).
