Standing at the Origin of Miri—A Timeless Journey at the Grand Old Lady

Perched atop Canada Hill in Miri, the Grand Old Lady is Malaysia's first oil well, drilled in 1901. This is the very place where Miri's history began. Its sturdy iron structure, set against the backdrop of the vast South China Sea, evokes a sense of timeless romance. At sunset, the sky turns a brilliant orange, creating a breathtaking spot where the past and present of this oil town intersect. Adjacent to the site is the Petroleum Museum, which offers free admission and promises an enriching experience filled with knowledge and inspiration. Here, you can immerse yourself in both the depth of history and the beauty of the scenery.
