Kuching
Any trip to Sarawak would not be complete
without at least a couple of nights in the capital,
Kuching. Built on several low hills Kuching is
quite a green city. Its principal attractions lie
in the historic buildings, temples, museums
and the waterfront promenade. Of note is the
Sarawak Museum, renowned for its displays of
tribal culture in the region. Take time to stroll
along the promenade and enjoy the sights
and flavours of the city before heading out to
explore Sarawak further.
