Sarawak, situated on the Northwest coast of Borneo, home of the worlds oldest rainforest is the perfect destination for anyone with an interest in Nature, Culture, or Adventure. Sarawak, the land famous for its hornbills, is the largest state in Malaysia. It is located on the south-western corner of Borneo. Sarawak in its entirety is unique. Visitors will be enthralled by its vast rainforests, caves, flora and fauna and diverse ethnic communities. The uniqueness of this state even dates back to hundred years of history. To put it in a nutshell, Sarawak has a multi faceted history. It is one of heroic adventure, romance, piracy and rebellion. Kuching, the state capital, sits on the river bank of the Sarawak river, 32 kilometres from the sea. The Sarawak river has an attractive esplanade known as the Kuching Waterfront. Here you'll get the view of the Astana (the palace) and Ford Margherita (named after the wife of Charles Brooke). If you're a museum enthusiast, this state has a number of museums which display a variety of artefacts. One of them is the Sarawak Museum, reputed to be one of Asia's best. The museum has a fascinating collection of Borneo ethnological and archaeological artefacts. There are also the Cat Museum, Chinese Museum, Timber Museum and Police Museum. If you've seen the indoor displays at the various museum, then proceed to other prominent places of interest. The Sunday Market or Pasar Minggu, is the best place to mingle with the multi ethnicity of Sarawak and taste the local atmosphere. Another attraction in the land of the hornbill is Sarawak Cultural Village. Located 35 kilometres from Kuching at the foothills of the legendary Mount Santubong.
