KUCHING WATERFRONT
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 Margheritta and the Malay kampongs 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 river bank.
A resort of a major restorantion and land reclamation project, Kuching Waterfront today is the most popular meeting place in the city. Drab warehouse have been replace with an almost 900m long esplanade, beautifully landscape and dotted with wooden branches, food stalls, restaurand 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.
