KUCHING The charming city of Kuching,
Sarawak’s capital, is surrounded by a number of
interesting National Parks, longhouses and the
famous Sarawak Cultural Village, all easily visited
on a day trip. Arguably the nicest city in Southeast
Asia, Kuching has adopted modern amenities without
losing its charm. The river, once an important
transport link, is still a central feature of the
city with the beautifully landscaped waterfront
promenade providing a relaxing venue for strolling
both day and night.
