35
km away from Kuching, the foothills of legendary Mount Santubong
is Sarawak's fascinating cultural showcase, which is, "Sarawak
Cultural Village". This living museum depicts the heritage
of the major racial groups in Sarawak and conveniently portrays
the respective lifestyle amidst 14 acres of equatorial vegetation.
Here, it is possible to see Sarawak's ethnic diversity at
a glance.
The handicraft is both bewildering and tempting, including
the Kain Songket (Malay cloth with gold inlay), Pua Kumbu
(Iban housewives textiles), Melanau Terendak (sunhat), Bidayuh
tambok (basket), Iban parang (swords), Orang Ulu wood carving
and Chinese ceramic. There are something you will not want
to miss out during your visit to Sarawak, which are, the
45-minute cultural performance of songs, dances and entertainment.
