Kuching

Kuching, the capital of Sarawak on Borneo, captivates with its relaxed atmosphere by the Sarawak River and a rich cultural blend of colonial buildings, Chinese shophouses, and historic mosques. Along the picturesque waterfront, you'll find the Main Bazaar and the old courthouse; the Sarawak Museum offers insights into indigenous cultures. The 'Cat City' Kuching reflects the history of the White Rajahs and is a melting pot of diverse ethnicities. A trip to the nearby Semenggoh Wildlife Centre allows you to observe rescued orangutans. The dry season from March to October is ideal for a visit; an evening boat trip on the Sarawak River also offers a unique perspective on the city and its attractions.
