A hidden gem worth visiting, experience a different kind of Nanyang style.

Sibu is the third largest city in Sarawak, Malaysia, located in the middle reaches of the Rajang River, and is known as the "City of Hornbills". It is a place where the culture of the Iban and other indigenous peoples and Chinese culture blend together, creating a unique multicultural atmosphere. The city is surrounded by abundant natural resources, presenting a charming tropical landscape, and its bustling downtown area has many delicious foods and unique buildings. Sibu Guide - Transportation: - Plane: You can take a flight to Sibu Airport, which has flights to and from major cities in Malaysia. After getting off the plane, you can take a taxi to the city center. - Ferry: If you are departing from a nearby riverside town, the ferry is a unique way to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Rajang River. - Accommodation recommendations: - Downtown hotels: It is recommended to stay in the city center, such as hotels near local markets or shopping streets, so that it is very convenient to travel, shop, and dine. - Homestay: If you want to experience the local life, a homestay is a good choice. Some homestays are converted from traditional buildings, allowing you to fully appreciate the strong local style. - Attractions: - Tua Pek Kong Temple: This is an important Chinese temple in Sibu, with an ancient and elegant architectural style, dedicated to Tua Pek Kong and other gods, with a strong incense, showing the inheritance and development of Chinese culture in the local area. The carvings and decorations in the temple are exquisite, and the tour time is 1-2 hours. - Rajang River: As the mother river of the city, you can choose to take a cruise to enjoy the tropical jungle and water villages on both sides of the river. The whole tour takes about 2-3 hours, during which you can see the traditional way of life of the indigenous people fishing and drying fishing nets. - Sarawak Cultural Village: Not far from downtown Sibu, this is a collection of traditional buildings of various ethnic groups in Sarawak, showcasing the culture, art, and traditional life customs of the indigenous people, and it is recommended to arrange a 3-4 hour tour. - Food: - Kolo Mee: Sibu's specialty noodle dish, with chewy noodles, rich soup, and rich ingredients, such as char siu and meatballs, can be tasted at many local snack stalls and restaurants. - Sarawak Laksa: Unlike laksa in other places, its unique spice formula makes the soup rich in flavor, and the ingredients such as shrimp and bean sprouts make the taste richer. - Local tropical fruits: such as durian, mangosteen, rambutan, etc., fresh and delicious fruits can be bought at the market or street fruit stalls.
