KUCHING
THE CITY OF SARAWAK
Once the capital of the White Rajahs of Sarawak, now with a population of some 600,000, Kuching is small enough to walk around but interesting enough to keep you fascinated for many days, and a good base for exploring Sarawak. It is safe, clean and full of friendly people around. Kuching and Sarawak also pioneer responsible tourism in Malaysia.
Kuching is recognized as the world’s first City of Unity in 2015. The title is given by virtue of the fact that it has more than 20 ethnic groups and they are able to co-exist harmoniously through generations.
In 2021, Kuching is the first city in Malaysia to be given the title Creative City of Gastronomy by the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN). This is a testament of the city with the abundance of food varieties and choices due to its diverse and rich culture.
This year, 2022, Lonely Planet describes Kuching as the Best urban jungle mash-up in Malaysia. It offers a good mix of both worlds for those seeking to enjoy urban and non-urban lifestyle and attractions
