Sarawak Cultural Village










Finally, it stops raining.

We have decided to drive to Sarawak Cultural Village. Well, I had been there years ago. But I have never driven there before. My parents are a bit worried. Anyway, we made it there and it's a great place for a visit.

Benedict had never been there. He's very anxious what's in there. In the village, it has all the traditional houses for our locals, i.e. Bidayuh, Iban, Melanau and of course chinese and malays and others (which I couldn't remember)...heheheh....The location itself is very nice and close to nature. It's near to Mount Santubong.

Each houses have shown how they live in the past. Their culteries, kitchen, living room etc. They even cook/bake traditional food/cake in the houses and sell them to the tourists. We bought some Kuih Sepit and Kuih Jala. They have people wearing in the traditional costumes welcoming all the guests. And you can take photos with them.

For non-locals, they were given a booklet as a souvenir. Each houses would have a special stamp and you can collect the stamp onto the booklet.

The village has the cultural shows at 11.30am and 4pm. Lots of tourists were there and they enjoyed it so much. The staffs have made the shows very fun, humorous and attractive. At the end of the show, everyone was invited onto the stage to try the traditional dances and photos time.

If anyone of you are coming to Kuching, do visit the cultural village. I am sure you will enjoy it. =D
