Sarawak River separating the city by north and south. Riding a sampan boat along this yellow river
in the
evening is an unforgettable experience. From the water front one get spectacular views of the Malay Village
houses ,19th century Chinese shop houses, Malay mosque, the
square tower and historical Margherita Fort. Sarawak River serves as the main highway for many dwellers who live in the coastal villages outside Kuching. Sungai Santubong where one of Kuching’s most popular seaside resorts, Damai Beach is situated joins the Sarawak River at the river mouth. Ancient Hindu and Buddhist influenced rock carvings have also been discovered around the river delta. |
