Kuching, Sarawak

Kuching
Kuching  is the capital and most populous city of the East Malaysian state of Sarawak. 




Kuching's Waterfront is a 900 meter long esplanade with landscaped park areas and eateries.
There are many heritage buildings along the way including the Square Tower and the Sarawak Steamship Company building. As you stand by the railing looking downwards at the Sarawak River below, you can see the ferry sampans called tambang going back and forth bringing commuters across the river. It is a popular place for locals and foreigners. A lovely area for walking, or just sitting enjoying the view and people watching. If you can venture out at night, it is lit up, as well as the streets, and the food vendors come and set up their stalls selling satay or malay food and other handicraft. Just a note, the price is not cheap.
