- Discover the charms of this riverine city established by Sir James Brooke, the first White Rajah of Sarawak. In the city center many of the buildings date back to the colorful days of Brooke rule. Old Chinese temples and bustling markets dot almost every corner. Popular with locals as well as visitors is the mile long waterfront promenade. The shops along the Main Bazaar probably have the best collection of Bornean tribal carvings, handicrafts, antiques and souvenirs in the whole island of Borneo. A city of museums, the Sarawak museum completed in 1891, possibly is the best known. Kuching is clean and green.

The cave has a moon-like landscape and from one vantage point, a perfect profile of President Lincoln can be observed.
- Most evenings at sundown, a spectacular exodus of about 2 million of bats can be observed as they leave the cave in search of food.
