Crossing Cultures: A Local River Escape at Jeti Boyan, Kuching

#summervacay #july2025 #citywalks #kuchingcity Few experiences capture the soul of Kuching better than a short boat ride across the Sarawak River from Jeti Boyan. Tucked quietly near the famous Mira Layer Cake shop, this jetty offers more than just transport—it’s a moment of connection with the daily rhythm of the city. Begin your journey with a city walk from the iconic Cat Statue, weaving through colonial facades, bustling local stalls, and hidden mural walls—including the beloved orangutan street art, a symbol of Sarawak’s wild charm and creative spirit. Snap a photo or two before continuing your walk along the waterfront. After picking up a box of rich, buttery Mira layer cake, head to the nearby jetty for a traditional tambang boat ride. For just a few ringgit, you’ll glide across the calm Sarawak River, watching the city’s skyline merge with wooden kampung houses and riverfront mosques. Travel tip: No bookings needed—just hop on and pay in cash. Best experienced before sunset for golden light over the water.
