🇲🇾 Sarawak Cultural Village, the Heartbeat of Borneo

#myhiddengems About 45-minutes from Kuching Sarawak Cultural Village (also known as Kampung Budaya Sarawak) must be included in your itinerary. This living museum offers an authentic glimpse into the traditional lifestyles of the region’s diverse ethnic groups, with vibrant performances, intricate crafts, and historical exhibits. Melanau Tall House and Orang Ulu Longhouse caught my eyes the most. Melanau House is high and the tree trunks cut into the shape of stairs while Orang Ulu House has unique structure. 📍Address: Pantai Damai Santubong, Kampung Budaya Sarawak, 93752 Kuching, Sarawak 🕰️Operating Hours: 9am - 5pm 💰Entrance Fee: RM9O (online) RM95 (walk-in) 📝Tips: - Join the cultural show (11:30am/4:00pm) #culturalvillages #sarawak #museum #culturalgem #malaysia #borneo

Uncover Sarawak’s Unique Heritage in Kuching! 🎭🌿 Spend a day immersed in the dazzling tapestry of Sarawak at Kampung Budaya Sarawak and the Borneo Cultures Museum—where tradition and modern storytelling collide with stunning scenery. Start your adventure early at Kampung Budaya Sarawak (9am–5pm), where you’ll stroll through lush outdoor landscapes with a misty Mt. Santubong as your backdrop. Wander from one cultural house to another (great close-up shots of the architecture! featured here is the orang ulu’s longhouse), and don’t miss the vibrant live performances of different ethnic dances—each framed by nature and dramatic cloudy skies if you visit during rainier mornings. Pro tip: stay hydrated as you explore, and consider renting a car to make transportation a breeze. Wind down at the Borneo Cultures Museum (check hours: open Mon–Fri 9am–4:45pm, weekends 9:30am–4:30pm)—a striking modern building that’s insta-worthy inside and out. Head straight for the historical exhibits where interactive displays and Western-style architecture offer plenty of spots for interesting close-ups and indoor photos (especially lovely on a sunny afternoon). Admission ends at 4pm, so plan your visit accordingly! Stay safe by packing a light rain jacket or a small umbrella as it can shift from sunny to rainy in a flash. Buildings are spaced out, so comfy shoes are a must for exploring both outdoor and indoor cultural landscapes. #Kuching #SarawakCulture #OutdoorAdventure #MuseumDay #TravelSmart
