SEMONGGOK WILDLIFE CENTRE
The orangutans at the wildlife center are fed twice daily between 9am and 10am & between 3pm and 3.30pm; visitors can witness this from a special visitors' platform. However, the sighting of orangutans is not guaranteed as the animals are often able to find their own food in the surrounding forests (which, of course, is a good thing). Currently, there are 26 semi-wild orangutans at Semenggoh in total; roaming free within a 740 hectare forest reserve. There is also a visitor's information center where you can find more information about the orangutans in Malaysia and the dire situation they are in. The biggest problem orangutan's face is the destruction of their habitat due to logging, mining and forest fires, as well as fragmentation of their habitat by roads. Too often orangutans are forced out of their natural habitat. Rehabilitated animals are released into the wild whenever they are ready. The main goal of Semenggoh Wildlife Centre is: "To rehabilitate confiscated wildlife that have been incapacitated or handicapped due to prolonged captivity by humans with the objective of releasing them to the forests eventually." Of course this implies that visitors should never touch, hold, feed or play with the orangutans.Semengok also has a number of short jungle trails and optional forest walks that can be incorporated into the tour.
Semenggoh Wildlife Centre can be reached by bus and taxi (or rental car). In Kuching; all taxi drivers know where to find the wildlife center. The following busses from the Kuching main bus terminal will take you to the nearby Forestry Department Botanical Research Centre: No. 6, 6A, 6B, 6C. Before entering the wildlife center you will have to pay the entrance fee of RM3 to get your valid entry permit. Inside you can pay RM40 for a guide (up to 5 people) that shows you around.

KUCHING , WATERFRONT
Aptly called The People Place, Kuching Waterfront was built for the people of Sarawak and visitors alike. It is their place to enjoy, to entertain and be entertained. A heritage to be proud of, and a legacy to pass on to generations to come. Stretching approximately 1 km, with a riverside walk linking the hotel precinct with downtown Kuching, the Waterfront is 'self-contained' with facilities for entertainment, refreshment, relaxation, cultural enjoyment and arts appreciation. It is also a great place for family gatherings, corporate outings and school and community projects.
Coolies bustling over berthed junks. Hawking of wares, Indian chettiars haggling. Natives selling jungle produce. That was Sarawak River to Kuching. Then time intervened. Sarawak River was not what it used to be. Quietness settled in. The godowns deserted, the merchants shifted.
Thus, Kuching Waterfront was rebuilt to return the frontage to the people. Officially opened in 1993, it spans about 1 km, each step rich in local history and culture.
Structures are preserved. The frame of the amphitheatre was originally part of a godown built in 1929. Other testimonies of this endeavour are the buildings of Sarawak Steamship Company and Chinese Museum.
Tradition radiates from the Chinese Pavillion. Each step of the way is paved with mosaic panels depicting ethnic motifs.
Kuching of by-gone days is revealed on plaques along the promenade floor. Trace the White Rajah’s reign. Read about rebellions. And piracy.
Come evening, see the abstract Hornbill Fountain, and try some of the wide variety of food there.

Kuching Waterfront, which lines the south bank of Sarawak River, is THE place to sample the city's cosmopolitan vibes. During the daytime, it offers scenic views of the Astana, Fort Margherita and the Malay kampungs across the river; but night-time is when it really comes alive! It seems like half of the city is out meeting friends, watching a show, or just shooting the breeze. For something different, why not try jetty-hopping along the river on the local Penambang boats, and savour the different sights, sounds (and delicacies!) between the two riverbanks.
A result of a major restoration and land reclamation project, Kuching Waterfront today is the most popular meeting place in the city. Drab warehouses have been replaced with an almost 900m long esplanade, beautifully landscaped and dotted with wooden benches, food stalls, restaurants and entertainment facilities. A number of older buildings have been preserved and incorporated into the design, including the Chinese History Museum, the Sarawak Steamship Building, an open-air theatre and the Square Tower. Modern additions to the Waterfront include a restored Chinese pavilion, colourful musical fountains, and a number of modern sculptures.

BAKO NATIONAL PARK
Bako National Park, established in 1957, is the oldest national park in Sarawak, eastern Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. It covers an area of 27.27 square kilometres (10.53 sq mi) at the tip of the Muara Tebas peninsula at the mouth of the Bako and Kuching Rivers. It is approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) by road from Kuching. Millions of years of erosion of the sandstone have created a coastline of steep cliffs, rocky headlands and stretches of white, sandy bays. Wave erosion at the base of the cliffs has carved many of the rocky headlands into fantastically shaped sea arches and seastacks with colored patterns formed by iron deposition. Some of these rock formations can be seen on entry to the Teluk Assam Beach, which fronts the park. The park can only be reached by a 20-minute boat ride from the village of Kampung Bako. It is often visited as a day-trip from Kuching, though accommodations (campground and forestry service bungalows) are available.
Bako is one of the smallest national parks in Sarawak. However, it features multiple biomes (including rainforest), abundant wildlife, jungle streams and waterfalls, secluded beaches, and trekking trails. A network of 16 marked walking trails of different lengths allows visitors access. In addition, various beaches are accessible by boat from Kampung Bako or Teluk Assam, as well as a geologically interesting sea stack rock formation. The range of attractions and activities in a compact area have made Bako one of the most popular parks in Sarawak.

WIND CAVE
The Wind Cave Nature Reserve is part of the Bau Formation, a narrow belt of limestone covering about 150 sq km of Southwest Sarawak. Due to the comparatively soft and soluble nature of limestone, and the intense tropical rainfall of the region, the whole of the Bau Formation is intersected with caves. Whilst many caves of the Bau Formation are remote and inaccessible, the Wind Cave is within easy reach of Kuching and is a popular day trip and picnic destination. The Wind Cave Nature Reserve covers 6.16 hectares and includes the cave itself and the surrounding forest.
The Wind Cave that is only about 15 minutes away from Fairy Cave Sarawak is one of the famous caves here in Kuching Sarawak Borneo. The Wind Cave consist of multiple river passages through the rock leading to an entrance on the far side of the hill overlooking the Sarawak River.
You’ll need at least 2 hours to cover this whole area. The Wind Cave Bau is sort of like a pitch dark maze, so you’ll need to bring along Torch Lights or night vision goggles. I was not prepared with the torches, but not to worry, you can also rent them at the entrance at RM2 per torch light.
The reason they call this the Wind Cave is because you’ll feel a light breeze as you walk along the wooden platform that is created along the cave. You’ll hear the bat sounds, and those who are afraid of the dark, might find this place scary. I was told that the Bats consist of many types, but they all have ultra sound navigation system, so there are no cases where the bats touches the visitors. The bats also feed on fruits and other insects so they are fairly safe.
There are 3 main tracks at the Wind Cave and one of them is quite low, so for those who are tall, they’ll need to watch out. All along the tracks are notice boards that explain with illistration about the caves and their geological process. You can also walk through the nature reserve near the Wind Cave.
Getting to this cave is fairly easy because it is located only 45 minutes from Kuching town and 5 minutes away from a town called Bau. The Wind Cave Nature Reserve covers 6.16 hectares and includes the cave itself and the surrounding forest. Outside the cave, if you come in a group, there are Barbeque pit areas and clean bathrooms. They are open every day from 8.30am till 4.30pm in the evening.

MOUNT SANTUBONG
A legend often associated with the mountain is of two beautiful princesses of heaven, Santubong and Sejinjang. Santubong was an expert weaver while Sejinjang was an excellent rice tresher. When war broke out between two villages, Kampung Pasir Puteh and Kampung Pasir Kuning, the King of Heaven sent the princesses to keep peace in both villages. The villagers saw both beautiful princesses and stopped the war. After the war, both princesses taught the villagers their expertise and both villages began to trade and became prosperous. Many princes heard of them and came from the whole island to marry them, but all was denied by them. One day, a handsome prince came, and the princesses had a quarrel and exchanged blows because both of them fell in love with the prince. Sejinjang swung her tresher which hit Santubong's cheek. Santubong threw her weaver at Sejinjang, hitting her in the head. Putting an end to the quarrel, the King of Heaven cursed both of them into mountains. Santubong turned into Mount Santubong while Sejinjang was turned into Mount Sejinjang. It is said that both mountains resembles women lying on their back and a crack on Mount Santubong was the scar on Princess Santubong's cheek.
The entrance to the trail is controlled by a private company claiming to be the caretaker appointed by the authorities to maintain and collect rubbish left by visitors on the mountain. They charge an administrative fee of RM8 per person and also issue certificates for an additional fee. All parks are managed by Sarawak Nature Reserve as provided for under National Parks and Nature Reserves Ordinance, 1998 Sarawak.
A report has been lodged under the states' Talikhidmat which is under the purview of the Chief Minister's office of the collection of fee by the private company.[
t takes between 3 and 4 hours to reach the summit and slightly less to descend again. Climbers need to take plenty to drink and some food to keep them going. A BBQ has been built at the top but begin your descent by 3pm to get back in the day light and avoid stepping on snakes that cross the path sometimes. A lucky climber may be rewarded with the chance of a rare Hornbill with a cream/yellow beak. These Hornbills are black and white.
Villagers say the well at the top never dries up, however this pond is often sadly full of rubbish today and should not be relied upon as a source for thirsty climbers. In fact Lord Medway reported it to be dry on his overnight expedition to the top in the 60's before the ropes and ladders were installed. Cub scouts and guides once camped at the top too on their expeditions.

CAT MUSEUM.
Kuching or rather City of Kuching is the capital of the state names Sarawak in the East Malaysia and is also one of the largest city in the Island of Borneo. Kuching was named after a tidal stream called Kuching River (Sungai Kuching) that ran between the present-day Tua Pek Kong Temple, and Chinese History Museum. The stream originated from Cat’s Eye Hill (Bukit Mata Kuching) where there was an abundance of a local fruit called Green Longan which was also known as Cat’s Eye or Mata Kuching in Malay.
Kuching is famous for many huge museums such as the Sarawak Museum and the Dewan Tun Abdul Razak Hall Sarawak Museum but the Cat Museum on Bukit Siol, Jalan Semariang, Petra Jaya, Kuching, Sarawak is a much more interesting museum. This is said to be the World’s first Cat Museum and it contains more than 2,000 cat artifacts and memorabilia from all over the world. The Cat Museum is open daily (except Monday) from 9am to 5pm. There are no entrance fees to the Cat Museum, but if you are interested to take photographs or any video shoting, there is a minimum payment required. Any sort of photography tool such as a digital camera are at RM4, camera phones are at RM3 and Videography can be done at RM5.
The gallery was officially opened for display on 1 August 1988, when Kuching was proclaimed as a Cat City. Prior to that, the cat artifacts were displayed in one of the galleries at the National Museum in Kuala Lumpur. This was then transfered to the Dewan Tun Abdul Razak Hall in Kuching in 1988 and in 1993 it was officially moved to it’s permanent location at the Cat Museum. The Cat Museum is under the management of Kuching North City Hall and is located on top of a hill called “Bukit Siol” which stands 60 meters above and you’ll get a beautiful view of Kuching City from here.
Getting to the Cat Museum is pretty easy. It’s only about 10 minutes drive away from the Kuching Town and there are proper signs to this area. If you do not see the sign for Cat Museum, you may also follow DBKU (Dewan Bandaraya Kuching Utara). You’ll need to head towards Jalan Semariang at Petra jaya. There are plenty parking space on top of the hill which is surrounded with a beautiful park. Parking outside the DBKU building is free of charge, but if you choose to park inside the building, there will be charges.
The Cat Museum itself holds many interesting history about cats. There are even real stuffed cats here and you’ll be meeting famous cats such as Garfield, Felix, Hello Kitty and many more. You’ll also experience how cat is used in advertising and movies, one famous play Cats can also be read about here. One section is reserved for all kind of foods for cats, Whiskers, Friskies, ProDiet and so on. You’ll also get to see how cats were used on advertising materials, stamps, postcards, posters, clothings etc. At the end of your journey, you can purchase some of the souvenirs that are available there in the forms of cats (keychains, stationaries and so on).

Chinese History Museum (Chinese Chamber of Commerce Building) Kuching, Sarawak
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce Building was established in 1912 for the Chinese Community in Kuching Sarawak. The design of the building is largely colonial and not so complicated. This building now houses the Chinese History Museum which was officially opened in 1993
It is quite easy to detect this building, it faces the waterfront area (facing the river) on Jalan Main Bazaar Kuching, right opposite the Tua Pek Kong Temple. It is a small museum when compared to the other museums in Kuching, but it is quite informative on the culture and tradition of the chinese community in this area.There are no entrance fees to this place, so make sure you drop by if you happen to visit Kuching, Sarawak. The museum is opened everyday from 9.00am till 4.30pm.
The Chinese History Museum had a major facelift last year and reopened in December 2010. Visitors can learn about the origins of various Chinese dialects in Sarawak, pioneers and leaders. There are also numerous interactive exhibits like Chinese musical instruments where with a click of a button, you get to hear a recorded audio of the instruments. A short film featuring early Chinese migration to Sarawak was also specifically produced for the museum and they are played in English and Mandarin.
The chinese visitors can also check their chinese name that is featured on one of the walls in the museum. Below are some of the photos that I was allowed to take. I will only share a few of them so that it does not spoil the suspense when you visit the Chinese History Museum in Kuching Sarawak.
