Kuching Top 10 destinations not to miss
trip to Kuching on its own is not as difficult as you think. Here I will list the top 10 or attractions not to miss if you travel to Kuching.
1. Weekend Market (also known as the Sunday Market)
The locals simply call “Sunday Market.” It’s really more of a Sunday market, since the start of operation of the market since Saturday afternoon about 14 hours. The crowd formed from 15.00, 99% are buyers and local traders, and will be the remaining 1%. This weekend market, the opportunity to see all sorts of people are animals for sale and purchase it. Been traded products ranging from apparel, furniture and equipment, local produce, vegetables and meat, food, etc., etc. Basically, anything you may think you can find in Kuching, but certainly not a good brand, of course. This is the traditional market you’ll ever find in Kuching, do not remain unchanged for 20 years or more. You can hire a taxi to your hotel and will not cost more than RM15, unless they are somewhere outside the city of Kuching.
2. Sarawak Museum
If you do not have time to travel across Sarawak, I owe a visit to the Sarawak Museum. Some passengers said that spending an hour in the Sarawak Museum is as good as they travel to Sarawak for a week. There are simply too many things to say about the Sarawak Museum. It is located in the heart of the city and close to major hotels in Kuching, Merdeka Palace Hotel in particular. The best part is, Sarawak Museum admission is free, and no need to buy a ticket, nothing, why not?
3. Traditional Malay people through the Sarawak River
Another highly recommended place to visit and the best part is, it will not cost much to get too much, maybe around RM2 per person just for the boat transfer. The small boat (called Tambang) transfer from Kuching Waterfront Sarawak River and half the fun. In the village itself, does not see many tourists in the region, and I must say that this is not a place for tourists, but an authentic local people of Malaysia. Take a short walk through the village, you find that it’s different from the right side of downtown across the river to Kuching. Try your local “Kampung” (Village mean in Malay) Malaysian food, cheap and delicious, but beware, most of them are spicy, just in case you have a problem taking spicy food. Just my 2 cents, do not miss Kuching, if you have not visited this city.
4. Main bazaar of souvenirs and decorations
This is a place where almost all passengers who buy souvenirs. There are many shops selling souvenirs and collectibles there. The price is very competitive, so be sure to find a bargain for souvenirs. Main Bazaar is located near Harbour View Hotel, shops and extends about a mile long. Many interesting things are waiting for you to explore this stretch of old shop lots.
5. Annah Rais Longhouse
If you do not really have time and within budget for travel to places like Iban longhouse Rejang River, Annah Rais Bidayuh and Longue is the best option. This is a real authentic Bidayuh longhouse located about 90 km from the city of Kuching. It is frequented by tourists every day and many say has become a tourist attraction. However, local people continued their traditional way of life, despite the many tourists who visit the community center each day. Be assured that you will not see people trying to sell part tourist tissues. Although home and community has been equipped with satellite or antenna, the main farmhouse structure remain more or less original. They work hard to preserve the way it should be. If you prefer to stay back and he himself experienced the local way of life there, you can choose to stay with one of the villagers there to run a housing program called Annah Rais Long adventure.
6. Semenggoh Orangutan Wildlife Centre

Sarawak Cultural Village, as its name suggests, is a culture that shows people of all ethnic groups “in Sarawak. It was built primarily for tourists and is not an actual village, but, however, have built models from different ethnic groups in the real home of human scale. The best part is that even employees of the local population to live in the city according to their shape Original traditional life. When you enter the village and homes, you are like visiting family who are in that particular house. It’s like a living museum of fact. Highly recommended, you can find all sorts of communal houses there, and learn more about the tribes of Sarawak
