Vibing Through Kuching: Culture, Orangutans & Epic Eats 🦧🍰

Get lost in the colorful chaos of Kuching’s heritage streets—seriously, every lane is an IG dream come true! Snap pics of unique murals, shop for quirky souvenirs, and vibe with the chill locals.

Hit up the Borneo Cultures Museum (No. 1, Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, 93000 Kuching, Sarawak; open Tue–Sun: 9AM–4:45PM, closed Mondays). The exhibits are HUGE, super interactive, and totally spill the tea on Sarawak’s wild history and cultures.

When sunset hits, cruise down the Sarawak River for jaw-dropping golden hour views. The city skyline + neon reflections = chef’s kiss! You can usually catch a ride from Kuching Waterfront (Jalan Main Bazaar).

Adventure mode: ON at Bako National Park (Bako, 93000 Kuching, Sarawak; open daily 8AM–5PM). Trek through rainforest trails, cross secret beaches, and spot wild animals like proboscis monkeys. Wear solid shoes and pack your bug spray—trust me!

Refuel at Ceylonese Restaurant (33, India St, 93000 Kuching) for some Cheeseeeee Naan. Don’t sleep on the kopitiam scene either—try kaya toast, kopi o, and Sarawak laksa. FOODIES, welcome to paradise!

Meet the real kings of the jungle at Semenggoh Wildlife Centre (Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, 93250 Kuching; open daily 8AM–10AM & 2PM–4PM), where rescued orangutans swing by for their snack fix. Watching them IRL is next-level adorable.

Before you bounce, dig into Kuching’s kek lapis (rainbow cake)—super pretty and soooo good! Grab a slab as a snack or edible souvenir.
