ITINERARY

Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak is, simply unique. No other city in the Federation of Malaysia has such a romantic and unlikely history. And no other city in Malaysia displays its charms with such an easy grace. The residents of Kuching (population 700,000 approximately) takes great pride in their fascinating city, a pride that is reflected in their attitude towards visitors and tourist alike. Kuching welcomes visitors warmly, but it does not put on an act for them. Instead it goes about its own business in a relaxed manner that hasn't changed in 178 years

​

Kuching is a cosmopolitan city, and this is reflected in the faces on the streets. Whilst the population is predominantly Chinese and Malay, Kuching is the home to people from virtually all of Sarawak's more than 30 ethnic groups, as well as Bidayuh (formerly known as Land Dayaks) and Ibans (Sea Dayaks). The early Europeans explorers and writers used generic terms Dyaks to describe the natives, but this is little heard in Sarawak today. You are sure to encounter the Melanau from the coastal areas and Orang Ulu (literally "Upriver people"), the collective names given to the smaller indigenous groups, including Kayan, Kenyah, Kelabit, Berawan, Lun Bawang, Penan, Punan, etc. All are thoroughly modern Sarawakian/Malaysian nowadays, but many of the rural people still live in longhouse communities. Two things which unite the many differing groups no matter where they settle is a warm and friendly disposition.

​

Your tour start with visit to the oldest Chinese temple in Sarawak which was built approximately 100 ago called the Toa Pek Kong by the locals. Its is the temple where the fishermen and believers alike come to pray and pay  offerings to the deity asking for good fortunes. Tour continues passing through the Main Bazaar, (which is the first trading area back dated as far as 1839.), the Carpenter street, round tower, The Pavilion,General post office, Sarawak Museum and the Civic centre, (where you can view the Kuching City South part).

​
