Kuching

Many of Sarawak's attractions may be found in its capital, Kuching. Located on the banks of the Sarawak River, approximately 32 km from the sea, the city reflects the influence of the West as it was for years the home of the Brooke Dynasty or the 'White Rajahs'.

Rich in heritage, Kuching's prominence can best be viewed along the river. Among its numerous points of interest is the Sarawak Museum with its collection of Borneon ethnological and archaeological artifacts. Other attractions include Fort Margherita, the Astana, Court House, Islamic Museum, Timber Museum, Chinese History Museum and Cat Museum.
