Wanna visit Sarawak in half a day??

On the foothills of legendary Mount Santubong, 35km away from Kuching is the facinating "The Sarawak Cultural Village".

If you are in Kuching for a holiday, don't let your opportunity slip by without visiting this great place, as you are able to see for yourself the major racial groups in Sarawak with its colours and cultures of each community in this beautiful Land of the Hornbill.

Visitors are also being entertained with a 45-minute cultural performance of songs and dances in an air-conditioned auditorium.

Let me now show you in pictures the different types of houses from the major racial groups. If you want to find out more in details regarding each of these racial groups, then you have to come, see and learn for yourselves! I assure you that it will be a rewarding visit............
